Ashley Cole returns to Wembley on Monday as he looks to try and help get Derby back in the Premier League.
The Chelsea and England great has won a host of top honours in his glittering career and will be out to add another achievement to his CV.
Cole joined at Derby in January, reuniting with his ex-team-mate Frank Lampard at Pride Park.
He has made 11 appearances for the Rams since and could well feature against Aston Villa in the Championship play-off final at Wembley this weekend.
Cole came on in Derby’s incredible win over Leeds in the semi-finals but is expected to start against Villa with Scott Malone suspended.

Ashley Cole – stats, facts and more
Cole, from Stepney in east London, turned 38 years old in December.
The left-back, who won 107 England caps during his international career, signed for Derby on January 21, 2019 on a short-term deal until the end of the season.
This term has been his first taste of second tier football since he had a loan spell with then Division One side Crystal Palace in the 1999/2000 season.
Cole enjoyed a brilliant career with Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League from 1999 to 2014.
He won seven major honours with the Gunners, including two league crowns, and made 230 appearances in total for club.
He made an acrimonious exit, joining London rivals Chelsea.
He went on to play 340 times for the Blues and won nine trophies including the Premier League, Europa League and Champions League.
Cole left English football to join Roma in 2014 but after an unsuccessful short-term stint moved to MLS side LA Galaxy.
He played 94 games for the Galaxy before linking up with Lampard at Derby.
Ashley Cole – what has been said
Derby boss Frank Lampard, speaking in March, said: “In terms of being a winner and being around the block and bringing an experience to the group – and we are quite a young group in a lot of ways this year.
“I just felt that, not just playing-wise because Ashley is always going to be helpful to me playing-wise, but the way he is as someone who is going to help us.
“And it’s been that way – his work ethic has rubbed off instantly on the players.
“For the players to see someone who has won the lot, but be humble, be first in at training and working on his game by putting pressure on himself day in and day out.
“And then to be vocal in team meetings and speak the truth and stand up and say things in front of people has been brilliant for me to have a player that can send that message to the players.
“So that’s been great and I’ve enjoyed working with him in that sense and it’s not been a problem the transition from playing together and then him being a player while I’m managing.”
