Fact 3. Joe Harts real name is Charles

Fact 4. Ashley Cole has now made more major competition appearances (21) than any other English player past or present.

Ashley Cole is also the highest-capped full back and the highest-capped black player.

I watched ITV4's greatest England goals last night. In 2001, when Beckham scored the free-kick against Greece, a young Ashley Cole was playing. That means he has played international football for 11 years. Amazing achievement.
