Terry Cooper, the Leeds United legend responsible for scoring the winning goal in the 1968 League Cup final against Arsenal, has sadly passed away aged 77.
An integral member of the great Don Revie side, Terry Cooper played a total of 351 times for Leeds, scoring 11 times between 1964 and 1975 - one of the biggest moments in the club's history.
Not only did he score that transformational goal for the club, as the years went by he also became revered as one of the inventors of the modern wing-back role.
"A club legend, Cooper amassed 351 appearances for the Whites, scoring 11 goals, during the Leeds’ most successful era to date.
"The thoughts of everyone at Leeds United are with Terry’s family and friends at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Terry."
He also won 20 England caps, making his debut in 1970 and being picked as the team's first=choice left back that same year.
After leaving Leeds, he then went on to manage a raft of other teams including Bristol Rovers, Bristol City, Exeter twice, and Birmingham.
Tributes have poured in from the clubs he was associated with, as well as many others who took the time to share their sadness at his passing and celebrate his great contribution to football.
Exeter tweeted: “Exeter City is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Terry Cooper at the age of 77. Terry managed the Grecians to the Fourth Division championship in 1990. Our thoughts are with Terry’s friends and family.”
Whilst Birmingham said: "We are devastated to hear of the passing of our former Manager, Terry Cooper. Everyone’s thoughts at #BCFC are with Terry’s family and friends"
Football writer Henry Winter tweeted: "Such sad news. Another #lufc legend gone. Thoughts with Terry Cooper’s family and friends. RIP."
Former footballer Keith Waugh said "Just heard of the passing of the best manager I worked for. A brilliant player in his day, a superb man manager & a top bloke. You gave me some of the best days of my career and memories to last a lifetime. Thank you and RIP Terry Cooper."
Soccer Saturday presenter Jeff Stelling said: "Terry Cooper, a wonderful buccaneering full back who was part of my childhood has gone. Incredibly sad."
And fan Mert Brown said: "RIP Terry Cooper. He got City back on track, boxed clever in the transfer market (Alan Walsh 18k) brought exciting football back to the Gate and, as a young kid at that point, I will never forget the Wembley trips in the mid 80’s"
An absolute icon and one of football's greats, Terry Cooper did so much for football and his loss will be felt for some time.
UK high street retailer and healthcare shop Boots has launched an innovative recycling scheme that entitles customers to £5 off their future shopping trips.
If you're still struggling to come up with a New Year's resolution, why not try a spot of recycling and earn some money off your next cosmetics shop while you're at it?
Started in 2020, the Boots Recycling Scheme allows Advantage Card holders the opportunity to get money while also being more conscious about how we recycle our used health and beauty products.
Their third party app Recycle at Boots uses a Scan2Recycle system where users can upload items from various beauty brands by taking a picture of the empty packaging before identifying its form.
This scheme takes items that can't usually be recycled at home such as lotion pumps, toothpaste tubes, lipstick, mascaras, travel minis, make-up palettes and more.

Once you have five items approved, head over to your nearest participating Boots store, drop off your empties and scan the QR code on the deposit box.
After you've followed all these steps, a voucher will appear entitling you to 500 Advantage Points when you spend £10 in-store, and not only do you have £5 worth of points with your name on it, you're also an eco-warrior.
There's even a dedicated section of the app to recycling empty medicine and vitamin blister packs which gives customers 100 Advantage Points, when you spend £5 in-store - This is brill.
Items dropped into these deposit boxes are taken to MyGroup, a recycling and waste management service which works around the clock to help divert waste from landfill.
These empties will be washed and traditionally recycled into a material called MyBoard, a construction board material most similar to plywood with lots of different uses.

Tesco has revealed what the UK’s most popular meal deal was in 2025
Emily Sergeant
Tescohas revealed what the UK’s most popular meal deal combination was in 2025, and some newbies have taken the top spots.
We all know meal deals are a classic lunch option for hungry office workers and for those looking for something quick to grab on the go, and it’s fair to say Tesco’s is one of the most popular on the market – but which combination was the most popular over the past 12 months? Which meal deal was the most commonly-picked from supermarket shelves in 2025?
Well, after last year saw a change in both the main and snack categories, this time around they have stayed the same and it’s actually the drink option where we see a change.
For the second year running, the Tesco Chicken Club Sandwich was the most popular choice of main, while the Tesco Egg Protein Pot took the top snack title.
It’s time, however, to wave goodbye to the Coca-Cola (500ml) bottle, which has taken the title of the nation’s favourite meal deal drink for the past three years now, and say hello to the nation’s new favourite drink… a can of Red Bull.

As always, the meal deal statistics for 2025 were revealed as part of Tesco’s annual ‘Clubcard Unpacked’ series, which is basically like ‘Spotify Wrapped’ but for Clubcard customers, giving loyalty card members a unique insight into what they shopped for and how much they saved over the last year.
The series also gives Clubcard holders the chance to find out what their personal favourite meal deal combination was in 2025, and see how that compares to the rest of the nation.
You’ll just need to open your Tesco Clubcard app on your mobile to find out, or you can head to the Tesco website here and login to your account.
Results are available now for a limited time only.
As well as getting to find out their own most-bought meal deal items, this year’s video also shows Clubcard members further insights into how they shopped at Tesco last year – from their most frequently-purchased products, to how many points they saved and spent.
