Charles Cooper (cricketer)

Charles Osborn Cooper (5 August 1868 – 23 November 1943) was an English amateur cricketer who played for Kent County Cricket Club at the end of the 19th century.

Cooper was born at Plaistow in what was then Essex in 1868 and attended Dulwich College where he played in the Cricket XI in 1885 and 1886.[1] He appeared for the Gentlemen of Kent in 1892 before making his first-class cricket debut for Kent against Somerset in 1894 at Taunton.[2] Cooper played in 10 matches for the county between 1894 and 1896.

Wisden described Cooper as "a steady bat, medium-paced bowler, and good slip fieldsman" in his obituary.[1] He played club cricket for Beckenham Cricket Club in Kent and died at Southborough, Kent in 1943 aged 75.[2][3]
