Joe Cole has insisted he is proud of his career but has no intention of retiring as he appreciates how lucky he is to be a footballer.
Cole has been frustrated by injuries this season and has had to stay patient due to the good form of Liverpool's young players but he is in a positive mood after scoring in Thursday's Europa League game against Young Boys. "Brendan Rodgers has not picked me at times simply because I have been laid up with an injury," said Cole. "And then I have come back fit again but the young lads have done great so I have just had to bide my time. "But I am in the mix now. I have come off the bench a couple of times and I played in Russia and again at Anfield on Thursday, so we will see how things pan out now."
