Football Career
Cohen spent his whole playing career at Fulham where he proved his worth as a committed and strong full back, especially adept at supporting wingers with overlapping runs.
He joined Fulham professionally in 1956 and remained a dependable performer for 13 years thereafter, though his chances at international level seemed to be restricted to a handful of caps at under 23 level, mainly due to the presence of Blackpool's Jimmy Armfield, who was the regular incumbent at No.2 and played in the 1962 World Cup in Chile.
