It’s an absolute age ago now, but we still remember how incredibly exciting it was when Chelsea were an upstart side making big moves in the transfer market to take on the dominant teams in the league.
One of those glorious summers saw both Joe Cole and Juan Sebastian Veron arrive on the same day. It almost ended up being a disaster according to Cole, who tells the whole story in his BT Sport “what I wore” interview.
The full thing is out tonight, but they clipped his anecdote about his big signing day to put on their Twitter account. You can see the two minute preview of the interview here:
"I was promised the number 10 shirt, it was my dream…"
"Claudio Ranieri had forgotten!"
Joe Cole's dream transfer very nearly went horribly wrong 😂
Good thing Seba Veron is a sound bloke 👍
