Walsall striker Jordan Cook, who picked up this season's 'Goal of the Season Award' for his thunderbolt against Barnsley back in December, has spoken to the club's official website to discuss his award winning strike.
Speaking via Saddlers.co.uk, Jordan said; “I knew from the moment the ball left my boot that it was going to go close. It started just outside of the post and then came back in. I was already celebrating as it reached the net!
“It wasn’t something we had practiced on the training ground, to be honest. Actually I was supposed to be at the edge of the box so I was making a run to get there when the ball suddenly came towards me and it was too good an opportunity not to have a strike... I’m glad I did!
“The goal is right up there with the best I have scored. There were a couple that I scored for Carlisle United and the Sunderland Under-21s which were pretty special, but that is the one to beat.
“To know that so many people voted for it to help me win the Goal of the Season award means a lot. I’m extremely grateful to everyone who did and hopefully I can win it next year too!"
