Ian Cooper

‘Can always be relied on to produce the goods and has been a pleasing boy to teach’ - School report, Summer 1975.

Ian Cooper is the author of Immortal Harlequin, the critically acclaimed biography of Adrian Stoop.

White Hart Down is his second sports bio…this time on himself. His Quantum of Solace to follow Casino Royale.

He has spent over five decades playing as many sports as he can get his hands and feet around, to the amusement of everyone that knows him…mostly his teammates

Having loved English and History at school, both subjects sat on the subs bench whilst he begrudgingly pursued a career in Finance…until a chance encounter with the Rugby Museum inside Twickenham Stadium whilst working down the road at Sky.
