Wakefield Trinity • Trinity Great dies.
It has been reported that another trinity all time great has died on the 19.8.19 - Gary Cooper, aged 80.
For me this is very sad to me in that I well remember him, with out a doubt he was the best Attacking full back i ever saw, the pace & range of his skills & deceptive running at the defence line was awesome. He also got the Harry Sunderland trophy against HKR final where we were double champions, he toured in 62 when the GB side was the last side to beat the Aussies - winning the Ashes series, they were given no chance but their football won plaudits even from the Aussies.
R.I.P. Gary, up the trin.
