Sir Henry Cooper Returns To His Childhood Home In Catford 

We lived literally just up the road from him, what a Gent the country lost part of it's heart when he passed on.

What a lovely gentleman henry was , RIP mr cooper !

Can't believe I've just found this video.....we lived nextdoor but one in the very early 1960's !!! Thanks for the memories

If a man died from a broken heart it was Henry Cooper. , when he lost albina he just wasted away . rip big man reunited with your soulmate 🌞.

Henry was such a great fella...everyone loved him

When I was 16 and worked in R.Dun & Sons in Bexleyheath, in 1978, George Cooper came in to buy something. He looked EXACTLY like our 'Enery !!! Love it ! X - Although my uncle Sid - who used to train the Olympic boxing team, said he had a few words with Henry about something. LOL! I'll leave it there. Henry, of course, is our pride and joy !!!! X :-)

Superb!!! A true Brit.RIP Henry Cooper.

I have a signed photo of Henry Cooper that he sent to me years ago👍🥊 On my Dad and Uncle's 65th birthday back in 2001,they both received a signed photo with a Happy 65th on it because I asked him to send them👏 In 2005,my Dad and Uncle met Henry Cooper and his brother George at a charity night organised by the Water Rats. Their cousin was a friend of Henry Cooper and they also met Billy Walker,who fought Cooper in 1967 and Barry McGuigan.

Great man, Our enery , Our London , R.I.P.

A true gentleman!!

read Henry Coopers book 3 times great to see his childhood home on this video

Henry's recollections are from a time long ago. I can empathise with a lot of what he spoke of. The conditions of those days needed to be experienced. I was born in'45'. My early childhood was in Catford in Sangley Rd. Bellingham was where you went swimming in the open-air pool.

Great video, thanks for sharing. RIP Henry

loved the man

We called him a Bellingham boy because it is Bellingham this video was made not bloody Catford. The good thing about the estate is that it was a housing estate, not a tall building estate.

"splash it all over.."

Lived exactly in front of his house

This is actually really close to where I live.

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I was there the other day lol I'm from Sydenham 2 miles away

I was raised about two miles from here but we used to refer to Henry as a Bellingham boy rather than Catford. Other than "Our 'enry" it's difficult to say anything good about the area.

It looks like a nice area now

I'd be interested to know if this was the first time he had revisited the house and the immediate area since moving out.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👊👊👊

How come Henry never mentions his Dad ?

Proper London! Bygone era. R.I.P Sir Henry Cooper
