1960s
In 1968, Leeds won the League Cup against Arsenal at Wembley. A bitty and occasionally high-tempered match was settled by Cooper's superb volley after a corner had been half-cleared, although Arsenal claimed their goalkeeper had been fouled by central defender Jack Charlton. Cooper subsequently featured in the team which won the Fairs Cup in the same season.
In 1969, Leeds won the League championship with Cooper making his contribution. Revie did not buy a back-up left back but instead used the utility player Paul Madeley to replace Cooper in the event of injury or suspension - a sure sign that Cooper was the finished article. This was further proved when he was given his debut for England by Alf Ramsey against France the same year, and England won 5-0 with Cooper putting on a classy individual showing.
