Who was Bob Cooper?
Bob Cooper, one of the most contentious athletes of the late 1970s and early 1980s, gained notoriety at Western Suburbs as a hardman.
He participated in 81 games for the team before his time with the Magpies came to an end after receiving the longest on-field suspension in the history of the sport following an altercation in Wollongong.

“Towering figure of that era”
Cooper returned to North Sydney in 1984 once his 15-month suspension was over, but a shoulder injury ended his career later that year.
He was a rugged second-rower, represented NSW in the 1980 inaugural Origin game.
He was chosen for the Western Suburbs 1980s team, and on Saturday the club paid tribute to him by referring to him as a “towering figure of that era.”
