Cork hopes to make father proud
Cork could make his debut for the Clarets against West Ham on Saturday after completing a move to Turf Moor on transfer deadline day.[LNB]It is a step up for Cork after similar spells with Bournemouth, Scunthorpe, Southampton, Watford and, most recently, Coventry.[LNB]Dad Alan, who helped Wimbledon's 'Crazy Gang' lift the 1988 FA Cup, will be taking a keen interest.[LNB]Cork, who was born a year after that famous win against Liverpool, said: "I can take a lot from him as he tried to help out and tried to help me improve.[LNB]"He had a really good career and played his fair share of games. Mind you he was a different type of player to me.[LNB]"He was the kind who would shout 'Get into the box and head it son'. He was part of the Crazy Gang and all that stuff. All I remember was the long beard and the bald head!"[LNB]Cork is pleased with his progress this season at club and international level, where he is coached by former England full-back Stuart Pearce.[LNB]He said: "I had a good spell at Coventry and played regularly for four or five months. They wanted me to go back but nothing came of it and I am happy now to be at Burnley.[LNB]"I have also learned a lot from the Under-21s with someone like Stuart Pearce being in charge.[LNB]"There are some good, exciting players from the Premier League in the squad and it is great to be involved."[LNB][LNB]
