Arsenal Dressing Room Leaders

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE.

This week, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Wayne Rooney, Roy Keane and Ian Wright are joined by one of the Premier League’s greatest ever full backs, Ashley Cole, for a brilliant episode full of big reveals and funny moments.

We start by looking back at Ashley’s early days at Arsenal and how he went from a young prospect at Highbury to one of the best full backs we have ever seen. He talks about the ups and downs, the moments that shaped him and how a loan spell at Crystal Palace changed everything.

The conversation then turns to coaching. Ashley talks about the work he has already done alongside Wayne and with England, and why he sees himself stepping into management sooner rather than later.

We also revisit his incredible playing career, from the Invincibles and working under Arsene Wenger to joining Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea team. Ash speaks openly about leaving Arsenal for Chelsea, one of the most talked about moves English football has ever seen, and the reaction that followed in the media and beyond.

To finish, the table look back at England’s golden generation. Why didn’t that group achieve what many expected and was that England’s best chance of winning something major?

Where do you see Ashley Cole managing in the future?
