In the year I was born, 'enry's 'ammer floored Cassius Clay. I've grown up with that legend.  Now he's gone. RIP Henry.

Ah, didn't know. The bell has sounded for 'our enery'.

What a shame. He always seemed like a nice man. Top class boxer too and if his eyes hadn't been so fragile who knows what he might have achieved.

A gentleman.  Don't forget the "Brut" adverts : "Splash it all over".

Very sad. A real hero.

The great moment when Henry Cooper shut the odious loud mouth up is a piece of boxing legend.

He was such a nice man.

When i was young we used to live a few miles up the road from his brother in Kent.

Every time we were in the car and went past his bungalow my father used to say Henry's brother lives there.

RIP Henry.

A nice man and a great Ambassador for sport.
