John Frederick Cooper (14 February 1855 – 30 January 1928) was an English first-class cricketer and solicitor.
Cooper was born at Henley-on-Thames in February 1855. He was educated at Marlborough College, where he played for the school cricket team.[1] He was described by Wisden as "a very good bat, plays in beautiful form, and has a very pretty and effective cut".[2] His one first-class appearance came for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Hampshire at Southampton in 1881,[3] being dismissed without scoring by Charles Young in the MCC's only innings.[4] In addition to playing first-class cricket, Cooper also played minor matches for Shropshire and Wiltshire.[2]
Cooper was admitted as a solicitor in 1879 and later became registrar for the County Court, in addition to holding the office of Town Clerk of Henley.[1] He was for more than thirty years the secretary of the Henley Royal Regatta,[2] having been appointed in 1881.[5] Cooper died at Henley in January 1928, following a brief illness of three days.[6] [7]
