Chelsea fans given festive treat as footage emerges of former heroes Joe and Ashley Cole taking part in training

Chelsea fans were given an early Christmas present on Friday, as they caught a glimpse of two old heroes rolling back the years at Cobham training ground.

Joe and Ashley Cole both ply their trade across the Atlantic now, but returned to Surrey this week to keep their fitness up in footage that will bring the memories flooding back for Chelsea supporters.

Donning the club's training gear, fans will have been reminded of over 600 appearances the pair made in their Chelsea careers, but this time they were back with the academy squad in their off-season.
