Cork Receives Team GB Call-Up

Southampton midfielder Jack Cork has been selected as part of the Team GB football squad by Head Coach Stuart Pearce. The announcement was made earlier today as the former England under-21 international prepares to play at London 2012 at the end of this month. Cork was part of the Saints team who won promotion back to the Premier League last season where he enjoyed a successful first full season at the club after his first spell in a six-month loan deal in the 2008-2009 season. In response to the news, Cork took the opportunity to say on Twitter: "Thanks to every1 for the nice messages about the Olympics! So proud and honoured to be selected for such a special competition esp in London!"
