In the "Championship" league in England, a club rented former England national team and club player, current team striker, veteran Andy Cole until the end of this season. The 35-year-old footballer left the eleven in August 2006 and moved to the "Pompey" team for a sum of 500 thousand pounds sterling. This season, the striker appeared only five times in Harry Redknapp's team but managed to score 4 goals. "Birmingham" head coach Steve Bruce, former teammate of A. Cole at "Man Utd", hopes that he will help his coached team secure a spot in the Premier League. "Andy can help us get back to the Premier League, because the fight for this spot is very fierce and difficult," said S. Bruce. - "I played together with him in the "Man Utd" team. Of course, it was a very long time ago. I know that he is a top-class professional striker who is not selfish. And that's why he is still a Premier League player". "We have very young players, including Cameron Jerome, DJ Campbell and Nicklas Bendtner, who have great potential. I feel that we need additional experience and quality in our attack," added the coach. S. Bruce and A. Cole played together at "Man Utd" from January 1995 to May 1996. "Birmingham" is in 2nd place in the lower English league, while "Portsmouth", which barely survived in the Premier League last season, is currently in 9th position.
