Albert Edward Cooke

World War II, 1939-1945 Albert Edward "Bert" Cooke (1901–1977) was a celebrated New Zealand dual-code rugby international and military serviceman. A prolific try-scorer, Cooke played for the All Blacks from 1924 to 1930, including the famous 1924–25 "Invincibles" tour. He scored 121 tries in 131 first-class rugby union matches before switching to rugby league in 1932, where he also represented and captained New Zealand. He later coached both league and union teams. During the Second World War, Cooke served in the Royal New Zealand Air Force. He is remembered as one of New Zealand’s most gifted backs across both codes. 05 Oct 1901 29 Sep 1977
