CLUB HISTORY

 

PLAYERS A-Z

Striker
Gary Cooper

One of the true legends of Northwood Football Club. Gary had various spells at the club as he flirted with the chance of a professional career - nearly being taken on at Southampton. Unfortunately his love of life inhibited his dedication to the rigours of the pro game.

He was a product of Woods' youth set-up and was a very talented striker, having spells with other local clubs including Harefield and Edgware but always returning "home".

Gary played for Northwood Vets for many years, but was tragically taken from us while only in his mid-forties.
