Mick Coop

Michael Anthony Coop (born 10 July 1948) is an English former professional footballer, who played as a right back.

Born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, Coop grew up in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, where he was an excellent school boy cricketer and footballer.

In January 1966, he turned professional with Coventry and soon made his first team debut.

A run of poor form during the 1974-1975 season led to the exciting Graham Oakey replacing him on the back line and Coop went on loan to York City F.C.

In the summer of 1979, Coventry sent him on loan to the Detroit Express of the North American Soccer League.
