Jonny Cooper

Jonathan Cooper (born 4 November 1989) is a dual player,

Cooper played hurling at schoolboy and minor level. First playing football under manager Jim Gavin at under-21 level, Cooper was reckoned to be one of Gavin's most trusted players when Gavin managed the county team.

He is a grandnephew of Simon Deignan, who played in the Polo Grounds final of 1947. He was then part of the Dublin team that beat Mayo by 2–12 to 1–14 in the 2013 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final. In 2014, Cooper won both the 2014 National Football League and the 2014 Leinster Senior Football Championship with Dublin, before an infamous semi-final defeat to Donegal ended their season.

Then, in September 2014, came the attack. This brought unwanted public attention to Cooper and created headlines in the national press: "I remember a guy in a car following me with a camera... Guys knocking on the door". For Cooper it was like when he had been dropped by Pat Gilroy.

Style Ahead of All-Ireland finals, he usually takes the Friday off work.
