Again a 50p bargain from a local charity shop in Accrington. " Henry Cooper" The Authorised Biography of Britian's greatest boxing hero. dedicated to Ken and signed in Biro. Published back in 2002. Awesome find for pennies.
Sir Henry Cooper OBE KSG (3 May 1934 – 1 May 2011) was an English heavyweight boxer known for the sheer power of his left hook, "Enry's 'Ammer", and his knockdown (near knockout) of the young Muhammad Ali. Cooper held the British, Commonwealth and European heavyweight titles several times throughout his career, and unsuccessfully challenged Ali for the world heavyweight championship in 1966. Following his retirement from the sport, Cooper continued his career as a television and radio personality and was enormously popular in Britain: he was the first (and is today one of just three people) to twice win the public vote for BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award and is thus far the only boxer to be awarded a knighthood.
