We could do with a few short quotations from his poems, to give the taste of them. JM
He should be remembered as the originator of the line "..he makes love like a footballer - he dribbles before he shoots.." from Psycle Sluts. WC
How does the "Cooper" come into the name? Brakn ( talk) 18:51, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Right in the middle. Just like the word 'the' in Winnie the Pooh.
The article states that he 'remians unpublished', what ever happened to 'Ten Years in an Open-Necked Shirt' ?
His appearance in Sugar Puffs commercials was also described as "incongruous" in BBC4's They Came From Manchester. Researching TV shows is so easy these days thanks to Wikipedia! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.134.65 ( talk) 21:54, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
He is not married.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.4.147.200 ( talk • contribs) 17:42, 26 May 2009
This isn't at all unlikely, and while I haven't restored the information about the documentary for lack of a reliable independent source, the trailer for it that's on all the usual video sites with contributions from Stewart Lee, Arthur Smith, Bill Bailey, Jarvis Cocker, Mark Thomas, etc. etc. talking about him should be convincing enough I would have thought. -- Michig ( talk) 20:57, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
It's on BBC4 tonight. -- Michig ( talk) 20:51, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Will somebody please fix the last paragraph under Early Life? I don't know much about the guy, or I would do it - but that last paragraph is a mess! nycdi ( talk) 10:58, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
When he was on Desert Island Discs in July 2019, it was said he was known as "The Bard of Salford". This could go in the article somewhere. Vorbee ( talk) 19:25, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
In Series 15, Episode 1 of the BBC comedy panel show Would I Lie to You, broadcast on 7 January 2022, Clarke claimed that, in the early 1970s, for six months, in Amsterdam, he shared a flat with a monkey: [1]. Should this be added? Martinevans123 ( talk) 18:50, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
