"Stop Disrespecting My Name": Cole Blasts Comparison To Liverpool Striker Nunez


Manchester United legend Andy Cole was one of the best strikers to ever grace the Premier League. He played for several clubs in England but is best remembered for his time at Manchester United. 

He formed a devastating strike partnership with Dwight Yorke at Manchester United. The two won five trophies together including three Premier League titles, one FA Cup and the 1999 UEFA Champions League title. 

The former England international has maintained a low public profile since his retirement in 2008, working underground on his coaching badges and for charities.

 He was brought out of his quietness by a Liverpool journalist who compared him to struggling Liverpool new striker Darwin Nunez. Cole was forced to blow his own whistle in defence. 

Cole disrespected by Nunez comparison 

A Twitter user and football writer DaveOCKOP made a now deleted tweet comparing the Uruguayan to Cole and it did not sit well with the former Portsmouth man. 

Though the tweet was deleted, another similar tweet was found on the user's timeline. 

Cole listed his own achievements and asked to be respected. 

He holds a high reputation for scoring 187 Premier League goals which includes only one penalty. To put that into perspective, league's top scorer Alan Shearer scored 56 penalty goals out of his 260 goals.
