Great Henry Cooper clip

Post by evrenb »



A great clip from 1975 with Cooper playing John Gully and the legend that is Oliver Reed playing Otto von Bismarck .

The very beautiful actress is Florinda Bolkan And it also features Malcolm McDowell.

This film is the Royal Flash.

Is the red haired fighter at the beginning of the clip who knocks out the bald bloke Nosher Powell ?

It was on that channel that shows old movies and series a couple of weeks ago, Talking Pictures I think.

Bit of a shyte film, despite the all star cast, but I love watching the scene with Henry/Gully.

Another Henry link, I think I'm right in saying, the bald bloke sparring Nosher Powell at the start of the clip is George Cooper. He was an active heavyweight just prior to Henry's twin brother turning pro so instead of fighting under his birth name of George, Henry's twin chose the alias Jim Cooper.

Funny I was watching an episode of 'On the buses ' this morning called 'The Canteen' and who shows up? None other than our friend Nosher Powell....
