Our Enery.
One of my first sporting heroes. Actually, my dad's boxing hero.

Indeed.
As a boxer he had the talent to be a world champion. As a physical specimen, the old "eggshell eyebrows" would always prevent that happening.
But Our 'Enery was one of the good guys.
RIP Champ!

I'm not a boxing fan, but Henry Cooper always seemed to be on the TV when I was growing up. It's sad news.

I saw him at a golf event once and my memory of him is that he was a huge man and spent all his time laughing and talking with his fans. He came across as a true gentleman.
