Ex-Bristol City striker joins Arsenal and Chelsea stars on Premier League Hall of Fame shortlist

Former Bristol City striker Andy Cole has been included among the 25-man shortlist for the next batch of inductees into the Premier League Hall of Fame.

Cole, who scored 25 goals in 49 appearances for the Robins between 1992 and 1993 following a club record £500,000 transfer from Arsenal, has claimed his spell at Ashton Gate kick-started his career before moves to Newcastle United and Manchester United thrust him into stardom.

Cole starred in the Premier League across 16 seasons, scoring 187 times - third on the all-time list - and won the title five times with Manchester United, before retiring in 2008.
