He polled no less than 72.6% of the vote and that was the second highest of the season, behind only Brian Jensen at Chelsea. No other player reached double figures with Chris Eagles getting second place with 8.4% and David Nugent coming third with 5.4%.
It was the same story in the player ratings. Cork scored 7.46 out of 10 and that was way ahead of the rest with only Steven Fletcher, with a rating of 6.04, getting above the average six mark. Nugent was again third with a rating of 5.73 out of 10.
Cork therefore gets the maximum six points towards the Clarets Mad Player of the Year with Eagles, Fletcher and Nugent all picking up two points each.
The points make little difference to the table with Eagles and Fletcher extending their first and second place leads above the rest. For Cork, the six points are added to the two he won from his substitute appearance against Fulham.
