Did Ashley Cole come to the rescue of a hassled diner?

One guy wrote about the strangest experience at a cafe in the UK - but left a five-star review thanks to footballer Ashley Cole.

'Phil L' was enjoying a coffee outside the Verano Lounge in Brighton when he started receiving some unwanted attention from "an ungodly looking man".

He wrote about the encounter on TripAdvisor, but pointed out that while it "is not a reflection of the place (which is truly excellent by the way), I feel it is something the wider community should know about".
