SBB Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Still remember being nervously stood outside the dressing room, with my padded autograph book. 6 years old, too scared to go in.

Buster Footman's T shirt Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Awful awful news. Can only echo the sentiments above. TC was central to the rebirth of this club. To those of us of a certain age he was the boss when we first started following city. Clearly loved the club and a true gent. His teams played some great football too. I challenge anyone to watch back his interview following the 1986 freight rover final and not get a lump in your throat seeing how much it meant to him.

Rich Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Terry Cooper was instrumental in giving me my then proudest moment, of seeing the old Wembley scoreboard which had shown so many final scores with my team on it. This one read, Bristol City 3 Bolton Wanderers 0. It brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. Thanks to him and condolences to his family. A great manager of this club, a great player and a great man. Rest in peace Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavlin Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Sad news , the manager that revived the fortunes of the club in the early 80s.

INCRED Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Gutted to hear this news. Most won’t realise but he was the person who turned this club around and that day at Wembley and his post match interview in 1987 after the LDV final shows what it meant to him RIP TC I sincerely hope the club recognises him because if anyone deserves a statue or a stand naming after them it’s him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few gave him sufficient credit for building & organising a squad from nothing and I mean nothing. Jordan later took his squad to greater heights but it's was TC's work ethic & foundation that turned City around. Brilliant player in his prime. Sad news indeed.

Silvio Dante Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Gutted. The first manager from when I was watching City.

BanburyRed Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Having been too young to (really) understand the 1st division days, to be getting a ticket for the Freight Rover final in '86, watching us play a blinder, and seeing the scoreboard read Bristol City 3 Bolton Wanderers 0, lifting the trophy, the lap of honour, but to see the tears in the eyes of TC and the emotion in his voice in his interview after the game, holding that trophy like a newborn baby....this man had played in the great Leeds team of the '70's and the World Cup....yet you could see what it meant to him. He'd been on the journey as much as, if not more so, than us fans. A humble man who gave his absolute everything for us. The word 'legend' is bandied around way too often these days for people who achieve nothing in comparison. A modern day hero AND legend in my eyes. A sad, sad day. RIP Terry Cooper.
