John Denman Cooper (25 February 1889 — 1952) was a footballer who played for Barnsley and Newport County. He was a goalkeeper.
Cooper was a member of the Barnsley side who won the FA Cup in 1912[3] beating West Bromwich Albion in the replay after the first match ended goalless. He fumbled a save in the first fifteen minutes of the first match and was saved from embarrassment by a lack of WBA forwards. In the replay he made an important save, diving onto his side, to save a quick shot from Bob Pailor, the WBA centre forward, though the ball was finally cleared by Bob Glendinning.
In 1920, Cooper signed for Newport County.[1] On 16 October 1920, Cooper was punched to the ground after confronting Millwall supporters throwing missiles at him. Millwall's ground, The Den, was closed for two weeks as a result.[4]
