Cole fired up: Chelsea defender aiming for a record-equalling fifth FA Cup win
If Ashley Cole helps Chelsea end their two-year trophy drought by beating Everton in tomorrow's FA Cup Final, the England left-back will equal a record which has stood for 118 years.
Cole has already picked up four winner's medals in the competition, three with Arsenal in 2002, 2003 and 2005, and also after Chelsea's victory over Manchester United in the first final at the new Wembley Stadium in 2007.
Currently, Cole is one of seven players to have won the trophy four times. His former Arsenal team-mates David Seaman, Patrick Vieira and Ray Parlour are in that group, along with Ryan Giggs and former Manchester United stars Mark Hughes and Roy Keane.
But if Cole and his team-mates can outwit Everton, the 28-year-old will become the first player to claim a fifth winner's medal since Jimmy Forrest , of Blackburn, achieved a quintuple in 1891. The only other men to achieve the feat were Charles Wollaston, in 1878, and Arthur Kinnaird, in 1882.
'If I could get to this milestone, it would be a great thing to achieve,' said Cole, who was an extra-time substitute when Chelsea beat United in 2007. 'Winning the FA Cup is a big achievement in my life and I would be honoured to have the record.'
