nolly, your the man to ask. did cooper get on top of ali, and ali's corner intentionally split his glove to allow him to recover when cooper looked like beating him?
not really gary,think they found out in 2003 that the glove split added only five seconds anyway,though i think looking at video cooper was boxing a dream and out jabbing him.
oh right. always thought less of ali as i thought thats what happened. a few american mates hate him cos he was a draft dodger, but thats a completely different matter.

Well how do you know that nolly...I've lived close by to Henery's roots all my life just about...met him two or the times too. He was at school with my brother Dave...his twin brother Jim was a bit of a bully by all accounts but that's no reflection on Henry of course. His wife is Italian...no doubt a catholic....though I've never heard that Henry was 'particularly' religious in any way shape or form. He may well be religious (as many people are to some extent or another) but what makes you say 'very' religious?
he became a catholic later on in life and became very religious,my old man mentioned it to me a year odd back,not going to tell me that with no grounding .

Yes, I could well believe that....I remember how proud he was when he went to Buckingham Palace to get his knighthood. He lost a lot of money in the Lloyds crash some years back............... he was an underwriter.
Wiki says 'Arterton is known for her role as the titular character on the BBC adaptation of Tess of the D'Urbervilles....'
I say she titular alright...
Henrys dad worked at Deptford Power station, cant say i knew him. Cant ever remember Henry really mentioning his Dad, although he often mentions his Mum. Henrys brother use to live in Welling and had a painting and decorating business.

Henry Cooper's twin brother was George Cooper, not Jim! His manager was Jim Wicks, AKA The Bishop.
Nolly is correct, Henry Cooper became a Catholic after marrying his Italian wife and did actually become quite religious. He used to come and open the School Fete's most years at our RC school and was very good friends with the Priest there.
Saw him on TV recently meeting Joe Bugner for an Aussie TV show, even after all these years you can tell he still does not like Bugner after that loss in 1971.

Henry's twin was called George Cooper but he boxed under the name of Jim as there was a George Cooper already in boxing when he and Henry started out.

Well, Len, I must admit that you have educated me there, I never knew that!
