A pure gentleman, met him on numerous occasions and always had time for people. Last time was at a Italian wedding in Treforest where he pulled up in a sports car which was almost floor level and to watch Cooper getting out and standing upright was a awesome sight. He got cheated out of the Clay victory.

Compared to most sporting heroes today "Enry" was a true gentleman, never giving less than 100% respect to all his opponents, never bad mouthed anybody and but for the bell in his fight with Ali would probably have been world heavyweight champion.

I felt gutted when Brian Clark passed on, I'm gutted again now that "Enry" has joined him. RIP.
