Legendary left-back Ashley Cole has been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.
Cole won three Premier League titles during a 15-season career at Arsenal and Chelsea, combining attacking prowess with exceptional defensive qualities to become one of the greatest defenders football has ever seen, reports KosovaPress.
"I am honored to join the Premier League Hall of Fame. It is humbling and fulfilling to be rewarded at the end of your career. I've gone through my career just trying to do my best and be good enough. You take it day by day and game by game. As a young kid, you never dream about it and you do it just for the love of the game of football. I played for some fantastic clubs with incredible fans. Winning trophies with my boyhood club Arsenal and with Chelsea are great memories that will always be with me. It's exciting to reflect because a lot of hard work has gone into it. To join the Hall of Fame alongside the likes of Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba and Rio Ferdinand, I am privileged to be in their company," said Cole.
