Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 1 May, 2011 Posted 1 May, 2011 What a shame! Too young to have seen him box, but he always came across as a gentlemen. Sad news.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 1 May, 2011 Author Posted 1 May, 2011 HENRY cooper - change please mods! What a moron I truly am.

Under Weststand Posted 1 May, 2011 Posted 1 May, 2011 R.I.P Henry, condolences to your family. You always came across as a gentleman & a genuinely friendly man. Goodbye our Henry!
Whitey Grandad Posted 1 May, 2011 Posted 1 May, 2011 Thanks for the memories 'Enry. I once saw him and his family on Avon Beach at Mudeford about 1980. He still looked in top condition. Rest in Peace.
Hatch Posted 1 May, 2011 Posted 1 May, 2011 RIP Henry, meet him a few years ago, TBF he looked fooked then. Proper Brit legend.
Winnersaint Posted 1 May, 2011 Posted 1 May, 2011 RIP our 'Enry'. Never thought you lost the Bugner fight!
errol_slymm Posted 1 May, 2011 Posted 1 May, 2011 Muhammad Ali! Muhammad Ali! Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee! Sir Henry knocked you down on your ass in 1963. RIP Henry. And, you're right, you couldn't beat the great smell of Brut. British legend.
hamster Posted 1 May, 2011 Posted 1 May, 2011 Sad news. What a sporting gent. He never came across as your typical pugilist to me and had it not been for Ali may well have achieved his dream but IMHO it was his niceness that won me over. My dad used to wear Brut 33 as I do to this day.
aintforever Posted 1 May, 2011 Posted 1 May, 2011 That is sad, he always came across as a good bloke. On a positive note, at least Terry is still alive.
Micky Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Mods can we please please please change the title. Absolute gentleman Sir Henry Cooper - quiet man who was in the toughest of sports and fought the toughests of opponents. RIP Sir - RIP.
Fowllyd Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 RIP Henry. Great boxer, as his fight against Ali showed.
