“I used to go to Chelsea games” – Man Utd defender speaks on his idol | OneFootball

Chelsea have had some absolutely legendary players at the club in their time, so it is no surprise that many of them are idols for a lot of current players still playing the game.

The likes of John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Didier Drogba, and Petr Cech will go down as some of the best ever players in world football, let alone at Chelsea, and in recent times we as Chelsea fans have been absolutely blessed to be able to watch those guys all in the same team week in week out.

It would be amazing if you guys subscribed for my project over at Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, where we are putting out so much Chelsea content including DAILY Newsletters, exclusive news, breaking news, Podcasts, interviews, inside information, and bringing in some massive guests!

But there is also one current Manchester United player who is feeling blessed to be able to watch one of these guys in particular, Ashley Cole, who is his idol and the player he looked up to as a youngster.

Luke Shaw is a Chelsea fan, and he used to go and watch Chelsea matches when he was younger, and Cole was always the player he watched the closest, as he reveals in a recent interview reported by Fan Nation.

“I loved Ashley Cole growing up but if I said I want to play with him then I wouldn’t be playing!” he said.

“With Ashley Cole, I looked up to him. He was one of the best left-backs in the world for a number of years.

“(He) obviously played for England and I used to go to Chelsea games when I was younger and watch him and with me being a left-back, I always looked up to him and wanted to be like him because if I could be anything like him then you know you are doing something right.

“If it wasn’t Ashley Cole, because I always idolised him, then I would say David Beckham because he is a legend for United and England.

“He is a massive role model to everyone involved in football.”
