Cashley Cole

Cracking Marine Hyde article on him

"Hard to pick a place to begin, but let's join Ashley in January 2005, driving somewhere on the north circular - probably in his Aston Martin - when his agent Jonathan Barnett calls. He has grave news. The Arsenal vice-chairman, David Dein, will not meet his ?60,000 a week pay demand, offering a mere ?55,000 a week.

"When I heard Jonathan repeat the figure of ?55,000," writes Ashley, "I nearly swerved off the road. 'He is taking the piss Jonathan!' I yelled down the phone. I was so incensed. I was trembling with anger. I couldn't believe what I'd heard." The only missed opportunity to underline his distress is that he did not indeed swerve off the road and kill an innocent bystander. What more noble cause in which to die than as collateral damage in Ashley Cole's flounce about ?5,000?"
