A very sad loss.

As I'm a youngster, at 39, I don't remember his fighting days, but remember the Brut 33 ads well.

Seen him interviewed a few times and many modern so called sporting greats could learn a lot from him.

I had the privilege of meeting Henry Cooper when he came to our offices in the early 80's. Great man.

A gentleman ambassador from whom today's 'sportsmen' could learn a lot.

A great loss.

I bet his son will not invite him in future in case he does it again :gmc:

Seriously, out of the ring always came over as a gentle gentleman.
