Bought as a winger but converted into an attacking left back, TC has become part of Elland Road folklore because, not only did he start the Revie era in earnest by getting the winner in the the 1968 League Cup Final against Arsenal, but he also wore white boots. That may sound inconsequential to the modern generation, well used to seeing players don pink, green and blue footwear, but this was an age when men were men and skin grafts were encouraged. But Cooper turned up in white boots set off nicely by his natty sock tags. The left has never looked so good.
