RIP Terry Cooper: 1944-2021
Sad news this morning of the death of another of my childhood Elland Road heroes, Terry Cooper, at the age of 77. As someone who was trying to learn the craft of being a defender in the early to mid-70s, Terry was a role model, the epitome of elegance in the back four for the legendary Don Revie team. His goal in the 1968 League Cup Final gave the club its first major honor and he went on to win the league title, the Fairs Cup and another League Cup with Leeds - and should have won more! He'll be great missed. RIP Terry.
