Archibold Henry Hedges Cooper (14 August 1878 – 13 January 1922) was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire in 1902.
Cooper was born in Cowley, Oxford, the son of Edward Cooper, a mercantile clerk and his wife Elizabeth. He played in one match for Derbyshire against Yorkshire during the 1902 season, though he did not bat during the match. Cooper bowled two overs during the game and took one catch in the outfield.[1]
In 1922, Cooper died in Chesterfield at the age of 43. He officially died of complications from alcoholism leading to delirium tremens and heart failure, although he was locally believed to have died of self-inflicted stab wounds.[2]
