A corker is a person or a thing you think is really excellent, or sometimes a good example of something. “That goal was a corker.” It is informal British English, and it sounds a bit old-fashioned now — more like something an older speaker might say than a teenager. It is built from cork + -er. The meaning probably drifted from “something that settles a matter” (like putting a cork in) to “an outstanding one”. It is not a job word for a person who puts corks in bottles; that reading is a joke, or a guess from the pieces.
