Simon Cooper

Simon Cooper was the runner-up of Series 41 in 1999. He first appeared on 14 September of that year, beating Steve Clark 47-40. He won a further seven games to become an octochamp with an impressive points total of 482, however in that series it was only good enough for #3 seed. Simon beat Margaret Foster and Gary Woodward on his way to the final against Scott Mearns. Unfortunately for Simon, Scott's blistering form that he had displayed throughout the series continued unabated. Simon lost the game 81-73 and had to settle for the runner-up's prize. Simon returned the following week for Championship of Champions X, but lost in the first round to Terence English.
