At long last the overdue story of one of the UK’s most popular racers, John ‘Moon Eyes’ Cooper, has been published by Classic Racer’s parent company Mortons Media.
John Cooper raced through perhaps the hardest-fought period of short circuit racing – the 1960s and 70s, and beat the best along the way.
He will always be remembered for his giant killing act when he beat world champion Giacomo Agostini around the circuit he made his own, Mallory Park, but in a long career he achieved much more.
