Jason Peter Cook (born 29 December 1969) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League as a midfielder for Southend United and Colchester United.

Career

Cook, born in Edmonton, London, was on the books at Tottenham Hotspur as a youth, but failed to progress to the first-team. In June 1989, he joined Southend United, spending two years with the Shrimpers and making 30 appearances, scoring one goal.[2][3]

In July 1991, Cook joined Conference side and Essex rivals Colchester United. He made 31 appearances[4] in a season where the U's were promoted back to the Football League at the second time of asking, scoring two goals.[5] On 28 September 1991, he made his Colchester debut in a famous 2–1 away victory against rivals Wycombe Wanderers, a game where Colchester's goalkeeper Scott Barrett scored an 89th-minute winner from a long upfield punt. Cook had come on as a 69th-minute substitute for Mark Kinsella.[6] He scored his first goal in a 3–1 home victory over Welling United on 23 November[7] Colchester also reached the FA Trophy final, a match which they won 3–1 over Witton Albion. Cook was sent off in the match, and in turn was unable to collect a winners medal. However, unused substitute in the game Eamonn Collins handed Cook his winners medal.[8] With Colchester back in the Football League, Cook made a further 35 appearances and scored one goal[9] before moving on to Dagenham & Redbridge in 1993. He also played for Braintree Town.[1]
