“Joe, you have informed Job Seekers Allowance that you may be 24 million over the saving limit?”

x6jnF0mJoe (Joseph) Cole started his career with West Ham where he played more than 120 Premier League games during five years, until he left for Chelsea in 2003.
Cole won a number of trophies with Chelsea, including three Premier titles and two FA League before leaving on a free transfer in July 2010 to join Liverpool, who a year later loaned him to Lille. In January 2013 he returned to West Ham and then joined Aston Villa after being released in May 2014.
Cole married fitness instructor Carly Tucker in June 2009. (Joe had been dating Carly since 2002 and proposed to her in 2007.) The couple have a daughter, Ruby Tatiana Cole, born in March 2010, and a son, Harrison “Harry” Cole, born in October 2012 and have merrily graced the covers of “Hello” Magazine many times.

Joe, 32, has been plagued with injury recently and hence has been absent from the Aston Villa Matches, this has had no consequences for his income, as he is a key share holder in Bad boy Liam Gallagher Fashion House “Pretty Green Label” , which is in with £15 million in sales 2015.

Tonight I decided to ring him up to see how he is doing.

Hello Joe, How are you?

Driving home was a nightmare tonight!!

Hows your maths have improved, nowadays? (In November 2009, Cole was caught driving his Audi A4 at 105 mph on a 70 mph section taken to court and was ordered to pay £2000 in court cost.)

Joe laughs.

Still a massive media star, how does it feel that your football career coming to end so young?

Amazing How soon people forget you, one minute your there here the next minute your not.

Rubbish!! Definitely still a hero to 1000s and you’ll always be mine.

That’s sweet.

You are 1th Richest footballer in the world worth millions.

Yea thanks Zach I know how much.

Have you informed Job Seekers Allowances of your savings?! Cole rhymes with dole!!

He laughs

Stop making me laugh

So you are off sick then at the moment. Are you getting by OK? Must be difficult for you all?

(Cole’s current salary is around £20,000 a week, significantly less than he earned at Chelsea and Liverpool)

“LOl, Not technically sick” he states.

His lack of appearances only accentuated the ‘Sick note’ myth.

Been saddled with a hamstring injury which took me of the pitch for while. I have been mentioning to the other players I DO Quiet like the management angle. Some thing I’m interested in and may consider at a later time. BTW Zach rhymes with Wack.

Are you the author of “I am a Secret Footballer?

Certainly wouldn’t be a secret if I told. Next question

If you was biscuit what would you be.

Laughing You are fucking a cracker!! Move one Next question!!

When you transferred from Chelsea to Liverpool, how did did you feel?

Liverpool is a good strong team

Cole admits: “Liverpool was a bad fit for both sides to be truthful. You sign for a club and the owners who signed you leave. It was the right club at the wrong time.

I just love football. If I had my time again I would give everything back – all the money, the medals, the lot and start all over again. I mean that 100 per cent. It was never about money with me. I wouldn’t want to start again with my family and all that. Being a dad is the “best feeling in the world” and your life changes rapidly but the football, yes. I’d go on that journey again.”

He adds: “I’ve never chased the money. You see it in dressing rooms where you see one of them thinking, ‘He’s earning a few quid more than me’. I ain’t no saint, don’t get me wrong, but that way of thinking is just not me. I’ve been a lucky boy in that I’ve been fortunate to have played in a time when the rewards have been great, but it was never the motivation.”

Finally tell me something about football we are unaware of?

He pauses: “Aston Villa is a football team and not a car Zach …”
