Terence John Cooke (born 5 August 1976) is an English former professional footballer and youth team coach of the Denver Kickers.

He made his debut in a Premier League match against Bolton Wanderers in September 1995, and provided the cross for a Ryan Giggs goal, and found himself being tipped for a bright future.

He then scored in the second leg of United's League Cup aggregate defeat to York City at Bootham Crescent in early October.

However, he only played six more games for the club, his first team opportunities severely limited by the excellence of fellow youngster David Beckham in Cooke's favoured position on the right-hand side of midfield.

Cooke captained the team in what was their first game of the season, scored a goal and provided two assists, and was voted MLS Player of the Week.

[citation needed] Cooke trained with Nottingham Forest to regain his fitness, and played in a reserve match against Coventry City, but manager Billy Davies did not offer him a contract.

[9] Cooke arrived in Townsville to trial with A-League franchise North Queensland Fury as a possible replacement for injured fellow Englishman James Robinson.

[12] After making 12 appearances in which he scored one goal, Cooke then suffered a serious knee injury which kept him out for the remainder of the season, at the end of which he was released by the club.
