TheFA.com - Joe Cole Back to school: "Joe Cole maybe on the verge of winning the Premiership title with Chelsea - but the England star has also enjoyed going back to his roots this week and remembering the first time he ever won a trophy.
Cole took time out of his busy schedule to make an emotional trip down memory lane when he returned to his old school in Islington on Monday.
The England midfielder was back at Saint Aloysius College in North London to help promote the FA Learning Grassroots Coach of the Year in conjunction with McDonalds.
And it proved to be an extra special day for Cole as he met up with his first ever coach in the game, Terry Howard, who first spotted his talent aged 11.
Cole will never forget the influence Howard had on his career and the first trophies he won as a player at school."
