Signed for Arsenal FC as a trainee on 18 October 1989, but after only
one league appearance as a substitute (against Sheffield United, 29
December 1990), Cole was loaned to Fulham FC, of the Football League
Third Division, on 5 September 1991, and scored three times in
thirteen league appearances, before being sold to Bristol City FC for a
record fee of £500,000 on 12 March 1992. He scored twenty in 41 league
appearances. Newcastle United FC paid for Cole's services exactly a
year later on 12 March 1993 for £1.75 million. His thirteen goals
in that season ensured United picked up the Championship that season. His 55
league goals in only 70 appearances soon saw his price-tag rise and
Manchester United FC paid £6 million (plus Keith Gillespie) for his
goals on 12 January 1995. He went on to score 93 goals in 195
league appearances, many with Teddy Sheringham, whom he never spoke a
single word too in their time together at Old Trafford. Despite his
goal tally, Cole was sold to Blackburn Rovers FC for £8 million on 29
December 2001. His Ewood Park career ended after 87 league appearances
and 27 goals when Cole reported his manager Greame Souness to the PFA
for unfair treatment. He signed for Fulham FC on 18 July 2004, and
played 31 league matches, scoring twelve. Cole then returned to
Manchester a year later, when City's Stuart Pearce signed him on a free
transfer on 20 July 2005. His time spent there was marred by injury
(22 league appearances, nine goals) and he signed for Portsmouth FC on 31
August 2006, but first team opportunities were limited (eighteen league
appearances, three goals), so he signed on loan to Birmingham City FC on 21
March 2007 for the remainder of that season (five league appearances,
one
goal). Portsmouth released Cole from his contract on 3 August 2007.
Cole then signed for Sunderland AFC on 24 August, and after only seven
league appearances and a loan spell at Burnley FC from 29 January 2008
(thirteen league appearances, six goals), Cole was once more released from his
contract. On 4 July 2008, Cole signed a one-year contract with his
hometown club Nottingham Forest FC, but after only ten league
appearances with no goals, Cole's contract was mutual cancelled on 31
October 2008. On 11th November 2008, Cole announced his retirement from
football. |
