I'm sure the guy is glad he's got all that crap out of the way. Fake smiles for the camera and answering questions with answers everyone wants to hear. Probably just kept thinking to himself, more money, bigger bank balance just to get himself through all the videos and pictures

Good luck to Harry, hope he plays a good part in improving us next season

Arguably, our best LB ever!

Unarguably for me ... My favourite player as a kid, I was always Cooper in the playground. I feel he was the first true wing back

Haven't seen enough of Cooper but how would you compare him to Dorigo?

Dorigo was a very good attacking left-back, still working for Leeds United now.

However Terry from the wonderful Revie-era is best LB I've seen at Leeds.

I first saw Cooper playing as a left-winger in his earlier appearances, Revie converted him to a left-back replacing Willie Bell, which proved to be fantastic decision by Don elevating Cooper's career to a different level.

As a defensive left-back, he had imperfections, as his lack of pace left him vulnerable when being attacked, and it left him dependent on Norman Hunter for extra cover. He was notably left-footed but that was less of a problem, as right-wingers tended to play to his stronger side. Despite these flaws, within three years of becoming a regular, Cooper was playing in the World Cup finals in Mexico and being spoken of as the best left-back in the world His attacking instincts never left him and his skill was always apparent along with a shrewd football brain, with his superbly timed and struck passes down the left for Eddie Gray a joy to behold. But Terry Cooper was never happier than when overlapping and crossing balls into the penalty area causing panic in defences throughout the world.

Apart from his 1970 World Cup success, Coops will always be remember for scoring the only goal in the League Cup Final victory vs Arsenal in 1968, our first domestic trophy, part of a cup double as Cooper played his part in winning the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final in same year.

I assume all World Cup footballers at all clubs would be given at least two weeks off.

Starting when though, when they went out? Or after the world cup?
