The late Sir Henry Cooper OBE KSG held the British, Commonwealth and European heavyweight titles several times throughout his career, and unsuccessfully challenged Ali for the world heavyweight championship in 1966. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Cooper]
He grew up on the Bellingham Estate in Lewisham, South London, and it would be a fitting tribute to mark the place with a permanent memorial of his contributions to sport, sportsmanship, British culture and anti-racism.
We the undersigned call on the Mayor of Lewisham to consider a permanent memorial to the late Henry Cooper, former Bellingham resident, at an appropriate location on the Bellingham estate, in recognition of his valued contribution to the history of Bellingham.
