Cooper played junior football with Mugiemoss before starting his professional career with Aberdeen in 1928. Cooper played almost 400 senior games for Aberdeen in a 20-year career which was temporarily halted by the Second World War in 1939. Two years after resuming his career, he played a large part in Aberdeen's 1947 Scottish Cup run but missed the final through injury. The Scottish Football Association gave Aberdeen permission to award him a winners' medal, despite him not playing.[1] He represented the Scottish League XI twice, before the war.[2]

gollark: Why not play...GregTech New Horizons?
gollark: <@148963262535434240> Depends on the rad output of the reactors.
gollark: Like the old AMD bulldozer CPUs and how they were marketed as 8-core but did not actually work that well.
gollark: I mean, not entirely *meaningless*, but given that this mineputer probably runs on architectures weirder than our own it's unlikely to actually be quad-core in the same way.
gollark: "Quad core" is meaningless.
