Terence John "Terry" Cooke (born 5 August 1976 in Marston Green near Birmingham) is an English soccer player who currently plays for Colorado Rapids in Major League Soccer.
Cooke came up through the youth system of Manchester United and scored the penalty that clinched the FA Youth Cup in 1995, but only appeared in eight first team matches with the club. Cooke was a part of the Old Trafford youth setup that sprouted players such as David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs in the same period. He made his debut in a Premier League match against Bolton Wanderers in September 1995, and provided the cross for a Ryan Giggs goal. He then scored in the second leg of United's League Cup aggregate defeat to York City at Bootham Crescent one month later. His time at Old Trafford was marred by a cruciate ligament injury that occurred in the autumn of 1997. Prior to suffering the injury, he had been loaned out to Sunderland and Birmingham City. After recovering, he was loaned to Wrexham and then Manchester City.
