Tottenham's Campbell working closely with Man Utd legend Cole

Manchester United striker Fraizer Campbell has credited his deadly finishing to one of the greats - Andy Cole.

The Spurs hitman first met the legendary strike ace when he was a 10-year-old starting out at Manchester United.

And after bagging his first goal for the England Under-21s on Tuesday, Campbell, admitted Cole has been helping him improve.

The pair have struck up a close friendship and 21-year-old Campbell, currently on loan at Tottenham, said: "When I was younger I didn't used to support a team, I used to just support Andy Cole.

"He was the person that I watched every week.

"He was really helpful to me. I even chat to him nowadays and he gives me tips on how to develop.

"He's given me advice on just about everything - his experiences in the game, what he did in training, what he did out of training.

"I've always looked up to him since I was a kid and so it's great to get advice from someone that like."
