Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has declared club and England teammate Ashley Cole an "inspiration".

Cole won his 100th cap against Brazil last night.

"He is an inspiration," Cahill said.

"I have been plugging away for years to get in to the squad and he has got 100 caps now. He has been at the top of his game for 12 years. It's fantastic for him and I hope there will be many more to come for him."
