Tal Ben-Haim may be in for a bigger surprise than he thought when he picks up his holiday tickets from Joe Cole.

Cole promised his Chelsea team-mate a break for him and the missus if Israel got a result against Russia.

Ben-Haim duly delivered — and now Cole is ready to do the same.

He joked yesterday: “I’ve got him a few brochures for Clacton-on-Sea. He’ll have a great time!

“Seriously, though, I’m a man of my word. It started as a joke and he’ll probably say I don’t have to do it. But I’ll send him and his wife somewhere nice, even if I’m sure we can cut a few corners . . . ”
