The clash was in aid of Essex and Herts Air Ambulance and even rockstar Sir Rod Stewart came to support.

And Chelsea legend Cole proved there is Reason to Believe he has still got it after scoring a sublime volley.

The ex-England international – wearing the same No10 he donned as a Blue – took the ball down and lobbed the keeper from outside the box.

Fans were left stunned as one said: “Nah this is insane.”

Another added: “Pro players never lose it do they. That touch and finish is crazy.”

One hailed: “That is unbelievable.”

Another said: “Every now and then you’re reminded the levels these pros play/played at. That’s outrageous.”

Cole, now 42, left Chelsea as a three-time Premier League winner for Liverpool in 2010, where he spent three seasons.

He had spells with Lille, West Ham, Aston Villa, Coventry City and Tampa Bay Rowdies in the MLS before retiring in 2018.

The playmaker – who made 56 international caps with ten goals – has since carved out a career in punditry after hanging up his boots.
