COVENTRY UNITED PLAYER PROFILES: 2. CHARLIE COOK...

CHARLIE COOK: FORWARD…

Any nickname? 

Cookie…

Previous clubs: Racing Club Warwick, Rugby Town

Favourite pro-team: Liverpool

Favourite player of all-time: Fat Ronaldo

Favourite current player: Ibrahimovic

Favourite bird: African Grey Seagull…

Which animal would you choose as a pet? 

Blue whale… 

Most treasured sporting moment? 

Winning bronze medal at youth Olympics in 4x100 metres relay…

Lowest sporting moment?

When Edwin Greaves pulled me to one side before a game and said I wasn't starting… 

Unusual fact to share?

Turned down Aston Villa when I was a youth because my dad would have disowned me…

THE MOWDOG COMMENTS…

Cookie? An unusual nickname… 

By his humorous nature (pain in the butt, I hear…) let’s say maybe ‘Cheeky’ too?

Prolific scorer for Rugby Town’s under-21 team, I believe… 

Possesses a LONG throw and GREAT pace. 

Liverpool fan… Ah, so please explain why Danny Ings didn’t return to Bournemouth and reunite with Eddie Howe… 

Will Ings play Scouse-ball at ALL?

Charlie is ecstatic that Blakey has scored @ Hinckley...

Fat Ronaldo seems a popular choice as a past player but Ibrahimovic is as confident as a stage magician, and as arrogant. Good choice then… 

African Grey Seagull? You don’t mean a Shoebill Stork? Brilliant! 

Seagull? Ah, a closet Brighton fan, perhaps?  

SHOEBILL STORK...

OK, Charlie... Thanks.

Blue whale for a pet… Now that is SO Charlie Cook…

Great to read about the athletics background… Congratulations for that; really impressive.

Edwin Greaves will soon take me aside and tell me to shut the f… up, so Charlie shouldn’t worry about a short time sitting on a bench. I’m old and sit on benches a lot these days…

You turned down Villa? Probably wise. Not because of your dad, but because so few Villa youth forwards tend to make it… (The Moores, Delfouneso to name but three…)

ONCE SIGNED BY VILLA...

Cheers, Charlie…
