He had a hard upbringing, under the gaze of a strict father who threatened him with the belt if he caught him backing off from a confrontation. 'I used to run from fights,' he told American writer Peter Heller in 1970. 'And papa would see it from the steps. He'd take his belt, he'd say "All right, me or him?" and I'd go beat the kid: His father worked wherever and whenever he could, in shipyards and factories, sometimes as a welder, sometimes as a carpenter. 'I remember nine dollars a week paychecks,' the youngster recalled. 'Me, my mother, my step-brother, and my father and whatever hangers-on there were...there were always floaters in the family.' Pastrano was an overweight child but, like millions of youngsters at the time, he wanted to be a sports star like baseball's Babe Ruth.

  • Biography[Edit]
    Sir Henry Cooper OBE KSG (3 May 1934 – 1 May 2011)[1] was a British heavyweight boxer. Cooper held the British, Commonwealth, and European heavyweight titles several times throughout his career, and unsuccessfully challenged Muhammad Ali for the world heavyweight championship in 1966. Following his retirement from the sport, Cooper continued his career as a television and radio personality; he was the first (and is today one of four people) to twice win the public vote for BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award and is one of the boxers to be awarded a knighthood including Frank Bruno MBE one of the Orders of the British Empire.

With identical twin brother, George (1934–2010),[2] and elder brother Bern,[3] he grew up in a council house on Farmstead Road on the Bellingham Estate in South East London. During the Second World War they were evacuated to Lancing on the Sussex coast.[3] Life was tough in the latter years of the Second World War, and London life especially brought many dangers during the blackout. Henry took up many jobs, including a paper round before school and made money out of recycling golf balls to the clubhouse on the Beckenham course.

  • Henry Cooper of Wembley. Henry Cooper Was a Professional Boxer and Sports Personality Very Popular with the British Public
    Henry Cooper of Wembley. Henry Cooper was a professional boxer and sports personality very popular with the British public. Many people still remember his fight at Wembley Stadium in 1963, when he knocked down the American, Cassius Clay, more than half a century after it took place. But Henry Cooper’s Wembley connections were much more than that, as his story told here will show. Henry Cooper, training for a boxing match in 1966. [Photo from “Henry Cooper – the authorised biography”] Henry and his twin brother George were born in Lambeth on 3 May 1934. Their parents, Henry and Lily Cooper, were both from the Elephant & Castle area of South London, but in 1938 the family were rehoused, moving to a London County Council “cottage estate” at Bellingham. They had an eventful Second World War, with their home at Farmstead Road being badly damaged by a German bomb in 1940. The boys had been evacuated to Lancing, in Sussex; then the family was reunited for a time in Gloucestershire. After returning to Bellingham in late 1941, life was hard for Lily and her three sons, as their father was away for three years with the army in India. The boys did jobs such as paper rounds to help raise money, and Henry and his older brother Bernard narrowly survived, when caught in the blast from a V1 flying bomb while selling football pools in 1944. One day, Henry and George were spotted having a mock boxing match in the street, and were invited to join the Bellingham Boxing Club in the estate’s British Legion Hall.
