After over 400 games for Chelsea, including numerous Champion League matches, Frank made his
Manchester City debut in the competition, against AS Roma. What he might not have imagined was

However, he would have known Ashley would not spare him should he have to tackle him as he
tried to score. As the images above show Cole still was a powerful tackler.
