JOE COLE’S outfit choice led to some cheeKy jibes from Channel Four viewers during England’s game against North Macedonia.
The former England, Chelsea and West Ham star was one of the broadcaster’s pundits alongside Joleon Lescott for the Three Lions’ final Euro qualifier.

Jules Breach was on presenting duties for C4 – but it was the 42-year-old that got most fans talking before the game.
The weather conditions were freezing at the Tose Proesk Arena in Skopje.
Cole decided to wrap-up warm for the occasion as he worked from pitchside, donning a flat cap and a light brown mac jacket.
And his clothing attire soon had viewers talking on social media as they quickly took the mick out of the ex-Liverpool man.
One wrote: “Can’t decide if Joe Cole is setting up a removals company or off down the market?”
“I wish Joe Cole would take that hat off,” commented another X user.
“Joe Cole dressed like he’s on his way to a Mike Reid convention after the game,” read another response.

A fellow fan said: “Joe Cole looks like he’s just off to work on his fruit and veg stall.”
As another jokingly begged: “Please take that hat off Joe Cole so I can take you seriously.”
Cole, who also works as a pundit for TNT Sports, won 56 caps for England and scored ten goals.
