8. Ashley Cole
Clubs: Arsenal, Chelsea.
One of a very select few players that have won the Premier League title with two different clubs, having picked up the trophy twice with Arsenal and once with Chelsea.
The left-back also holds the record for most FA Cup wins with seven and has played in two Champions League finals – winning once and losing once.
Cole may have a controversial off-field persona, although the defender very rarely talks to the media, but on the pitch there have been few better in history at full-back – which is not an overstatement.
In a so-called ‘Golden Generation’ of English football, Cole is the only one who could feasibly slot into a world XI every time and has marked some of the best players of the modern game out of matches on many occasions.
