Chelsea defender Ashley was blasted after last summer's World Cup finals for rejecting a £55,000-a-week pay offer from former club Arsenal, who talent-spotted him as a schoolboy.

Rivals Chelsea finally stepped in to offer the 25-year-old left back more than £90,000-a-week after a bitter transfer saga lasting 19 months.

But his 23-year-old wife says she's been "hurt" by critics who label her husband 'Cashley Cole'.

She told the Sun newspaper: "I wish they'd stop calling me Greedy. They don't even know me or Ashley. He is the kindest, softest, loveliest person.

"People call me names all the time but it hurts more when I hear Ashley being called them. It's so far from the person he is. They don't know how much he does for charity, he keeps that private.

"He even gets offended if I try to pay the bill when we're at a restaurant. The latest I've heard is that we're buying a house in the Seychelles. It's rubbish. We went there for our honeymoon and it was the most boring place ever. It would drive us mad."

Defending his move to Chelsea at the time, Cole said: "People are going to like me and people are going to hate me. I know full well that I'm not a greedy person. I've not come here for money. I've come here because I want to win things and I have a good chance of winning things at Chelsea."
