The big striker came through the ranks of Wimbledon, and scored in the first minute of his Wimbledon full senior debut against Newcastle at St James' Park in September 1997.

A tricky forward, Cort was brought in by Bobby Robson in July 2000 for a fee of £7m. He scored on his Newcastle debut against Derby, but was later taken off as he had trouble with his hamstring. Currently still injured, Cort's return is eagerly anticipated by fans.
