West Ham fans have got a special place in their hearts for plenty of former players. The Likes of Paulo Di Canio, Scott Parker and Carlos Tevez have that place in the Premier League era, but another man who also does is Carlton Cole, the club’s former goalscorer.

Cole managed a perfectly round 100 combined goals and assists for the Irons in 293 games, as per Transfermarkt, and as a result of that, he left many lasting memories for the fans in his time, with a lot of those fans flocking to share their favourite Cole moments.
Loads of moments have been mentioned, the likes of his goal against Millwall back in 2012, THAT goal against Wigan and the fact that he took a pay cut to stay and play for the Hammers after their relegation amongst others, so it’s no surprise that he’s remembered as a hero amongst the Irons.
