Edwin Duncan Cooper (3 November 1879 – 12 February 1951) was an English footballer who played at left-back for Witton Albion and Burslem Port Vale in the early 1900s.
At age 17, Cooper played for Witton Albion[1] before joining Burslem Port Vale in November 1901.[5] His debut came at the Athletic Ground in a 1–1 draw with Stockport County on 14 December.[5] He was unable to gain a regular place, however, and after playing only four more Second Division games in the 1901–02 season he was released at the end of the 1902–03 season.[5] He received an offer from Manchester City but left football to focus on his business and hobbies.[1]
