Leeds Terry Cooper dies at age 77.
Played in 1970 world cup...to my young mind, he was the best full back I have ever seen play.
I was a great fan of Terry Cooper, even if I disliked the 1970s Leeds team

Seems wrong to “like” these posts. Sad to see another childhood memory pass. RIP.
Used to have a massive boyhood crush on Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally.
