Henry Cooper dies aged 76

[Sid Squid]

Our 'Enry died of heart failure on Sunday.

Possibly best remembered for knocking a young Mohammed Ali* onto his bum. Famously Ali said he was hit so hard 'My ancestors in Africa felt it'.

I'll never forgive him and his buddy Kevin Keegan for bringing that awfull smelling Brut to the wider audience! (IP though.)

Very sad news, saw it last night. Even bigger shame as I used to see him out all the time as he lives less than a mile down the road and is/was president of Nizels golf club where I was once junior captain...


RIP (he had absolutely huge hands!)

Whos gonna 'Splash it all over' now huh?
