Wem-ber-lee, annoying Drogba and being put off by Mick Jagger | Could It Be Magic Episode 1

What this episode covers

Ashley Cole has won the FA Cup more than any other footballer ever. 7 (SEVEN) times. Only a handful of clubs have won it more than he has, and he played for two of them. Oh, and he was also the best left back in the world. Ask CR7. Joe Cole was probably the first footballer to be known nationwide before he’d even kicked a ball professionally. A baller full of tricks, feints and skill, the kind of player who would give opponents nightmares before the match. He lifted the cup twice during his career during a glittering spell at Chelsea. These two pals and former team-mates have come together with Carling, the beer of football, for a new show all about the best club competition in the world. In this first episode, they recall their first trips to Wembley, how Mick Jagger may have put Joe off in the 2007 Final, why you didn't mess with Didier Drogba before a game, a very direct pep talk from Martin Keown and how Ashley felt leaving Arsenal for Chelsea in 2006. Football’s Greatest: Could It Be Magic? is brought to you by Carling, the official beer of the Emirates FA Cup and Adobe Women’s FA Cup. 18+ - please drink responsibly.
