Chelsea defender Ashley Cole will have plenty of celebrate tonight when he wins his 100th England cap in a glamour friendly against Brazil at Wembley Stadium.

Cole becomes just the seventh Englishman to reach this landmark and he has done it the hard way but starting every single one of his 99 caps to date.

Below we look at the images that have defined Cole's career in an England shirt, from his first appearance at a major championships in 2002 to missing a penalty at Euro 2012.
