Terry Cooper dies
Another former Leeds player from the Revie era has passed away. Terry Cooper has died aged 77. Another top player until he got a bad injury.
All of Norman Hunter, Trevor Cherry, Jack Charlton, Peter Lorimer and now Cooper have passed away in the last 15 months.

Wow, that is just crazy
The rest of the Revie team need to be arranging a reunion soon before it's too late.

Great player in a great team.

And Mick Bates who also died recently. He stayed loyal to Leeds even though he was always a back up playerClaretTony wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 10:52 pmAnother former Leeds player from the Revie era has passed away. Terry Cooper has died aged 77. Another top player until he got a bad injury.

Re: Terry Cooper dies
As Quicknick said "Great player in a great team".
One of the first fullbacks that I remember being comfortable going forward and putting in a decent cross.

Re: Terry Cooper dies
If I am not mistaken he started off as a winger in the Leeds team then became a very attack minded fullback , and a very good one.

I remember his white boots. Sure I had a pair that looked similar when I was at primary school.

Re: Terry Cooper dies
From memory a great fast bowler who was constantly questioned about his bowling action, and whether he "threw" the ball rather than bowled it

Re: Terry Cooper dies
I never came across any questioning re his action. Saw him play a fair few times and certainly didnt strike me as a problematic action. See him here for England v Pakistan https://www.icc-cricket.com/video/1106867warksclaret wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 12:10 pmFrom memory a great fast bowler who was constantly questioned about his bowling action, and whether he "threw" the ball rather than bowled it
RIP Mike -Terry Cooper too.

Re: Terry Cooper dies
Can’t remember any questioning of Hendrick’s action. The only English bowler I can remember in trouble over his action in the mid to late 70s was Geoff Cope

Are you thinking of Harold Rhodes also of Derbyshire whose hyper extended elbow joint gave the cricket authorities cause to impose a suspension.warksclaret wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 12:10 pmFrom memory a great fast bowler who was constantly questioned about his bowling action, and whether he "threw" the ball rather than bowled it

I think he was the first of the 'overlapping fullbacks'
England International. Very good at his role.

Some of us recall that his action was still a talking point when he was pro at Burnley in 1970.jetblackcat wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 9:14 pmAre you thinking of Harold Rhodes also of Derbyshire whose hyper extended elbow joint gave the cricket authorities cause to impose a suspension.

Re: Terry Cooper dies
Harold Rhodes was at Burnley for two years and he looked to throw every ball when you watched him from a seat in the pavilion but there was nothing he could do about it because of his elbow.jetblackcat wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 9:14 pmAre you thinking of Harold Rhodes also of Derbyshire whose hyper extended elbow joint gave the cricket authorities cause to impose a suspension.
