Ted Cook (1901–1957) was an association football player who represented New Zealand, playing in New Zealand's first ever official international.[1]
Cook made his full All Whites debut in New Zealand's inaugural A-international fixture and had the distinction of scoring New Zealand's first goal, scoring a brace in that game, with Bill Knott scoring the other in a 3–1 win over Australia on 17 June 1922.[2] He played in all three of New Zealand's internationals in June that year, scoring in each game for a total of three A-international caps and four goals.[3]
Following his football career, Ted immigrated to Australia where he went on to be the General Manager of the Commercial Bank of Australia from
