Ashley Cole: Premier League Hall of Fame honour for ex-Arsenal and Chelsea defender

Former England defender Ashley Cole has become the latest player inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.

Cole, 43, won the league title three times - twice with Arsenal and once with Chelsea - during an illustrious career in England's top flight.

He was part of the 2003-04 Arsenal 'Invincibles' team and made 385 Premier League appearances in total.

"It's humbling and fulfilling to be rewarded at the end of your career," said Champions League winner Cole.

The former left-back made his Premier League debut in 2000 and his final appearance in the competition came in 2014.
