The New York Jets are delighted to announce their 2025 International Fan of the Year has been selected as Anth Cook from Stockton-on-Tees, UK!
Anth was selected as the Jets representative as part of the NFL’s league wide International Fan of the Year programme, and he will represent the Jets alongside fans from 31 other clubs at the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh later this year!
It is the third year that the programme has been active for, with the Jets previously selecting Frazer Campbell and Olivia Peebles as their representatives in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
Anth has been a consistent advocate for Jets fandom in the UK and Ireland over the years, helping to run the ‘Gang Green UK’ fan group, coordinating with fans across Europe and on both sides of the Atlantic for events, watch parties, tailgates and trips to see the Jets play in person.
He first became a Jets fan back in the late 1990s, when a trip to Hofstra University in New York led to a chance encounter with the team at their training facility. Having seen the likes of Curtis Martin up close, Anth was inspired to find out more about the sport and team, leading to a decades long fandom that has continued to grow.
There were a high number of extremely strong applicants as part of the process for this year’s International Fan of the Year Award, and we thank every fan who took the time to submit a nomination.
Congratulations to Anth and enjoy the NFL Draft!
