Cole Palmer has become synonymous with his “cold” celebration, where he puts his arms around his body as if he were cold.
The Chelsea star made the celebration in December 2023 for the first time when he scored in a 3-2 victory over Luton.
Since then he has written 39 goals on his Chelsea count, with the celebration being released almost every time.
Palmer, 22, has made no secret that the celebration is not his own original work.
He previously admitted how, after his time in the Manchester City Academy, he was inspired to perform the celebration by teammate Morgan Rogers.
Aston Villa star Rogers was accused of copying the celebration when he scored against Chelsea in April 2024, before clarified: “It is the opposite, I did it first, he copied me.”
Palmer replied by saying: “Rogers knows I did it and that it went viral. He [Rogers] Maybe it did, but everyone knows it's my party. “
In December 2024, Sunsport exclusively revealed how Palmer had launched an offer to patent the “cold” celebration.
However, the true origin of the move dates years, and even outside of football.
Valencia Ace Diego Lopez was asked about the celebration after scoring his fourth goal in a row, something he has done since then before he came to the Spanish club in 2023.
Lopez, 22, was not too happy with the news that Palmer patented the move and responded to social media by sharing a photo of him that put the cold, credited with the year 2022 and a set of emojis.
After again scored for Valencia and the use of the celebration, he said to Relo: “The receipt has not arrived yet, I don't know if it is because they don't have my address or because Valencia is in charge.
“If you want, I can explain that I've been doing that for four years now.
“I will continue to celebrate because I like it and I hope I have a lot of four, because that means I scored a lot of goals.”
However, Lopez has also unveiled his own origin for the move, which actually comes from basketball star Trae Young.
He explained: “He is a player that I especially like. When he scores an important basket or wins a key game, he celebrates it that way. I liked it and I copied it a bit.”
Even Atalanta Hawks star Young has heard of Palmer using the celebration.
But the 26-year-old Point Guard told Talksport that his prompt was promptly came from his youth.
He said, “I remember that I was in the basement of the house with my friends who watched games from our favorite players who make gestures. I said,” We have to invent something. “
“One of my friends replied:” You are Ice Trae. Be cold as ice cream. ”
“I remember making a three-pointer, I don't know if it was to win a game or not, but I did it and since then I hired it. I haven't gotten it from anyone.”
Regardless of the original source, the celebration has become popular worldwide.
Olympic 200m Champion Letsile Tebogo used the move on the Paris Olympic Games last summer, while the baseball player Gleyber Torres and Minnesota Vikings, wide recipient Justin Jefferson, the New Yorkes Gleyber Torres, both “Colde” have used the “Kolding” Justin.
Other football stars, including ex-Arsenale Ster Matteo Guendouzi, have also used the celebration.
