Default Henry Cooper dies aged 76

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'.



RIP Henry.

*Then known as Cassius Clay.

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!)
