HE HAS BEEN the Republic of Ireland’s surprise package in attack since making his debut in his Carling Nations Cup 53 weeks ago.
With three goals in just 11 caps Simon Cox is fast becoming a fans’ favourite and, whenever Robbie Keane decides to hang up the green jersey, the West Brom striker looks like he’ll be first in line to play in the more subtle striking role.
When he’s not scoring beautiful goals for Ireland, Cox can be found on the golf course – with a Rupert the Bear impersonator – or chillin’ at home with his dog, Missy.
