26.12.59 Watford v Northampton abandoned 47 mins - much made of him coming from Waterbeach as pitch was exactly that
13.12.60 Norwich v Brentford - blew for time just before Brentford "equalised"
17.10.61 Northampton v Crystal Palace - disallowed a goal and a strong penalty claim
25.11.61 Margate v Notts Co (F.A. Cup 1) - allowed dubious last minute equaliser by Notts Co
11.09.63 Norwich v Northampton - did not notice Norwich GK (Kevin Keelan) knock out opposition CF
25.01.64 W.B.A. v Arsenal (F.A.Cup 4) - criticised
29.01.64 Arsenal v W.B.A. (F.A. Cup 4 replay) - too strict
19.12.64 Coventry v Bolton - too lenient
16.01.65 Brighton v Crewe - possibly his last match
28.01.65 Alan Hardaker (F.L. Sec.) announced Cooke had resigned after receiving his mid season letter warning him that his marks from clubs were low
