| "This slice of pizza came flying over my head and hit Fergie straight in the mush.
"The slap echoed down the tunnel and everything stopped - the
fighting, the yelling, everything. All eyes turned and all mouths
gawped to see this pizza slip off that famous puce face and roll down
his nice black suit.
"I thought Ferguson was going to explode but then he stormed
off into the dressing room cursing and grunting, brushing the crumbs
and stains off his collar.
"We all went back into the dressing room and fell about laughing."
He went on: "All I can say is that the culprit wasn't English or French, so that should narrow it down."
Cole added of the furore around the match: "By the time we were
walking down that extendable plastic tunnel everyone was having a go at
each other.
"There were shouts of 'you f****** cheats' and players were
running into a jostling huddle where the narrow tunnel opens into a
wider mouth.
"I was jammed in the middle. I heard the boss [Arsene Wenger]
hammering Ferguson; incandescent French, verbally sparring with the
bullish Scotsman."
