Cole: Our team spirit in 1999 was 'ridiculous'

Every man was out there fighting for their team-mates, and if you weren’t involved on the field on a given day, the other boys came in and did exactly the same thing.

Forget the issue with me and Teddy [Sheringham] not talking; the fact that we didn’t get on would never reflect on the football pitch. At the end of the season, we were trying to get the same things. We all were. There wasn’t any animosity, and we all respected each other as footballers.

How could you not, when you look at that squad? Peter Schmeichel in goal.
