But the latter committed a hilarious faux pas when taking out ball No6.

Cole paused as he flipped it around in his hand, struggling to determined whether it was a No6 or a No9.

That’s despite the bottom of the No6 being underlined — as well as the fact there were only eight teams in the draw.

Cole looked puzzled as he said: “Is it this way?”

This prompted host Mark Chapman to laugh: “It is that way.

“Mainly because hopefully there are only eight balls Andy.

“If there’s a nine in there we’re in big trouble.”

Fans at home found the incident hilarious too.

One said: “Made the draw worth the wait at least.”

Another declared: “Proper awkward that weren’t it haha.”

One noted: “And a line drawn underneath it!”

Another added: “Can’t stop thinking about Andy Cole asking if it was a 6 or a 9 on the ball in a quarter-final draw.”

When the dust settled, the draw could be seen it its full glory.

Chelsea got another home tie, this time against Newcastle.

And West Ham will travel to Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Everton are hosting Fulham at Goodison Park.

And there is an interesting tie between League One’s Port Vale and Championship side Middlesbrough.
