M Mafoo Veteran Cardiff May 1, 2011 #2 A sad day for sport. Modern sports "celebs" could learn a lot from the great man. Compounded by also losing one of the greatest sports commentators Ted Lowe.

B Banedome Member Burnley lancashire May 2, 2011 #4 Wrong to mention Bin Laden at the same time as Henry Cooper. Henry was a real gentleman and a true Englishman. He will be missed.
