Ronnie Cope (born 5 October, 1934 at Crewe) was an English footballer who played as a centre half-back. His father, George Cope, had played for Crewe Alexandra. Ronnie Cope played four times for England Schoolboys in 1950. He joined Manchester United as an amateur in the same year, and made his debut for the club on 29 September, 1956 against Arsenal at Highbury. However, he only gained a regular first-team place after the Munich air disaster. He lost his first-team place to Bill Foulkes in October 1960, and left United for Luton Town in August 1961 on a £10,000 transfer.
