Jack Cork

Cork came through the Chelsea youth system but never made a senior appearance for the Blues.

Instead, his time at Stamford Bridge was made up of loan spells with Bournemouth, Scunthorpe, Saints, Watford, Coventry and Burnley.

He signed permanently for Saints in 2011 and helped the club secure promotion to the Premier League after just one season.

In all he has made 152 appearances on the South Coast but was often underappreciated, but has since had bigger first-team roles with Swansea and Burnley.
