喬科爾，西漢姆聯青訓優秀產品，少年時代就被稱之為不亞於哈里·雷德克納普的奇才。17歲時完成一線隊首秀——介於他對鐵錘幫的貢獻，20齣頭就接受了隊長袖標。同時在他19歲得時候被招致英格蘭國家隊完成了處子秀。這個多才多藝的進攻組織者身著紫紅色（西漢姆隊服顏色）時一系列值得信賴的表演，使得他在這個東倫敦的俱樂部占不可動搖的位置。但是來自斯坦福橋（切爾西主場）的誘惑難以抗拒，最終在600萬英鎊的轉會協定上籤字後，他開始身披切爾西隊服。

序言
運氣並不是時刻都青睞科爾——在一些關鍵戰中，由於他的位置——他被早先寄予厚望並且日益見高，有些時候很難做到，但這位攻擊型中場仍舊作出了很多上鏡的表演，指明了他在俱樂部和國家隊未來取得成就的道路。雖然他努力保持頂尖水平，但是隨著他走向成熟，沒能使他免於捲入一些花邊新聞。這一切都在他前進於英格蘭頂級足球的步伐中。這就是這位鐵錘幫謎一樣的危險人物的最終傳記。
作品介紹
Product Description
Joe Cole, a talented product of the famous West Ham youth system, was hailed as a child prodigy by no less than Harry Redknapp. He made his first-team debut for the club at the age of 17 - and his dedication to the Hammers saw him receive the captain's armband in his early 20s. Meanwhile a call-up to the England senior team marked his England debut at the tender age of 19. A versatile young playmaker, a series of solid performances in the claret and blue made him a valuable fixture at the East London club. But the lure of a move across town to Stamford Bridge proved too much to resist and in 2003 he donned a Chelsea shirt after a GBP 6 million transfer was agreed. Fortune has not always been in Cole's favour - in particular meeting tough competition for his position at Chelsea - and expectations, raised at an early age, have sometimes been hard to meet, but the attacking midfielder has continually produced a number of fine cameos which only serve to point the way to future achievement for club and country. Yet while he has worked hard to stay level-headed, his maturity off the pitch has not prevented his involvement in some colourful incidents in recent years. Taking it all in his stride he is set to become a major figure at the top of English football. This is the ultimate biography of the Hammers and Blues' enigmatic dangerman.
