Norman Charles Cooper (12 July 1870 – 30 July 1920)[1] was an English sportsman who represented the England national football team and played first-class cricket with Cambridge University.
Cooper was educated at Brighton College and Trinity Hall, Cambridge.
A wing-half, Cooper's only international cap came against Ireland at Perry Barr in the 1893 British Home Championship, with England winning 6–1.
Cooper was a right-handed opening batsman for Cambridge University at first-class cricket level and played 11 matches for them, one a combined team with Oxford. He also played a match for the CI Thornton's XI and in 1892 took the field for the HT Hewett's XII against Cambridge after he switched sides when his intended opponents revealed they had only 10 players.

George Elwes Corrie was born at Colsterworth, Lincolnshire, on 28th April 1793 and was the youngest of eight children of John Corrie (the curate there) and his first wife Anne McNab. In 1813 he entered St Catherine's College, Cambridge. After graduating in 1817 he was elected a Fellow of that College and appointed tutor (a post he held until 1849). He took a BD degree in 1831 (DD 1853) and filled most college offices, often holding several at one time. He was disappointed not to be appointed Master of St Catherine's.
Instead in 1849 he was appointed Master of Jesus College, Cambridge, a post he held until his death in 1885. He was also appointed rector of Newton, near Wisbech.
He was conservative in views and spent much of his time and energy whilst Master going against the tide of affairs both in the Church and the University e.g. he opposed Catholic emancipation and the admission of dissenters to degrees.
He died on 29th September 1885 and is buried at Newton
