Totally Extra: Andy Cole - the Premier League's most underrated goalscorer?

James and the panel open up the Totally Extra almanac on one of the Premier League's greatest goalscorers, Andy Cole.

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Tom Williams and special guest Andy Mitten, who brings some personal insight and some great stories, having just been on a talking tour of Ireland with the man himself.

A legend at Man Utd and Newcastle, only four players have scored more Premier League goals than his 187, but is he in some ways the forgotten striker?

Born in Nottinghamshire, his Jamaican born father was a coal miner who wanted Andy to play cricket. He got his break at Bristol City before Newcastle snapped him up, where he formed a deadly partnership with Peter Beardsley amid a record-breaking debut Premier League campaign.

Ferguson then signed him and he enjoyed a hugely succesful period at Man Utd alongside his striker partner Dwight Yorke. He scored great goals and important goals, helping Man Utd to win the treble in 99.

But is is he still underappreciated?

Plus, a strike duo quiz question from producer Charlie.
