Unfortunately after nearly six seasons for the red devils things have turned sour for him, and with the signing of Dutchman Ruud Van Nistelrooy, for close to £19 million and is another striker, like Andy it may spell the end of a career at Old Trafford. Andy Cole was born in Nottingham, England on the 15th October 1971. He is ...  Read the complete review
