Aston Villa's reborn Joe Cole is drawing inspiration from former Chelsea teammate Frank Lampard.
Lampard is starring for Manchester City this season.
Cole said: "No-one in this world can take anything away from what Frank has done.
"For me, he has been one of England's greatest ever players - consistent in the Premier League and the national team. It's hard to put your standards next to Frank. "You can playing on as long as you want, as long you've got the desire to. I've got the desire and if I just keep getting picked I'll be happy.
"I'm hungry to play and while that's still there, I'll have a go."
