Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert was delighted for goalscorer Joe Cole in their 1-1 draw with Burnley.
Cole made his first Premier League start since signing for Villa from West Ham in the summer and it was fitting that he scored the goal in the 38th minute that put the visitors ahead.
Lambert, who did not take any questions on his departed assistant manager Roy Keane, said: "The movement was great and I wish I'd had Joe Cole five years earlier, but the problem is I couldn't afford him five years ago.
"He was fantastic, he really was. I knew he would tire but I thought he was outstanding. The great thing about Joe is his enthusiasm for the game, for a guy that's won everything. I think the other guys can take a look at him and try to model themselves on him, that's for sure."
