Beyond England |
|
Cooper is still in the football trade,
presently the assistant manager at Bradford City FC after various coaching
positions at Middlesbrough FC. Tragedy struck the Cooper family when their
son died in January 2002 in a tragic choking accident.
In response, the Cooper family set up the Finlay Cooper Fund in August
2006, a charity to help other children's charities. -

Due to the fact that
many matches rarely stuck to exactly ninety minutes long, allowing time
for injuries, errors and substitutions. The minutes here
given can only ever be a guideline and cannot therefore be accurate, only
an approximation. |
