Over a thirteen-year period, Ashely Cole won over a hundred caps for England, competing at several international tournaments – including three World Cups – in addition to a club career in which he won a ridiculous amount of silverware at Arsenal and Chelsea. Did you know, the former England international is still playing in MLS?

After leaving Stamford Bridge in 2014, Cole spent two years in Serie A with Roma before heading over to the US with LA Galaxy in 2016. What many non-MLS followers may not be aware of, though, is that the former Premier League winner is still playing for the Galaxy at age 37.

Throughout his career, Ashley Cole "the person" has often split opinion, although there has never been any doubting of his ability. And even to this day, he’s still putting in solid performances when called upon by the LA outfit.
