Two legendary names of two very different sports going today after Ted Lowe this morning. Henry Cooper was a name any kid knew 30 or 40 years ago and always came across as a courteous kind bloke when interviewed in the years after he left the ring.
Very sad, lovely man as well as a gifted boxer. Sad day.
Shame DS never acknowledged true greats on their site though, sure low life's like Katie Price would get the red banner at the top when she dies.
RIP Henry.
Just read the news on another site....and I have to say I was a little shocked there was`t a red banner announcing the news on DS....as you say if Katie Price farted we`d have a flashing banner to announce the news...but hey hoe that`s the celeb culture for you
RIP. Next time I splash it all over, I'll think of you.
We often complain that our sporting favourites have been robbed of victory....but nothing comes close to the blatant cheating that prevented Sir Henry claiming the World title
RIP,anyone who gave 'THe Louisville Lip' a run for his money deserves to be remembered. Is his twin brother still around does anyone know?
Scrub that found out his brother predeceased him

He died on 11 April 2011. Henry's wife died in 2008.

I'm shocked to say the least.
