Gaelic Football - Colm Cooper

In Gaelic Football, the 2004 Texaco Award winner is Kerry forward Colm Cooper. Referred to affectionately as ‘Super Cooper’, he is arguably the finest forward which Kerry has produced over the past three years. All season, the 21-year old Dr. Crokes forward showed incredibe maturity as he led the Kerry attack with a brilliant tactical awareness. Already an All-Star, Cooper wins the award for his capacity to gain possession, his excellent distribution and his wonderful scoring ability - qualities best displayed in the All-Ireland final when he scored 1-5 to help Kerry overcome the Mayo challenge.
