Obsessive Cooper admits he 'nearly cost Dublin a great deal'

Shortly after Dublin’s footballers won the All- Ireland five in a row last September, an interviewer teased it out of Jonny Cooper that he is an introvert. It was a surprising admission from a high achiever, but a few months on, he acknowledges he is also an obsessive.

That, more than his inclination towards introversion, is what occupies Cooper’s mind for long spells; not quite an obsession about not obsessing, but you get his drift.
