Cope was married to Elizabeth and had 4 children: a son, Michael and 3 daughters: Susan, Carolyn and Janis. They had 9 grandchildren: Stephen, Jayne, Belinda, Alison, Helen, Mandy, Nicola, Jenny and Richard.
Cope's debut in county cricket came for Monmouthshire in 1931 Minor Counties Championship against Dorset. From 1931 to 1934, he represented the county in 14 Minor Counties fixtures, with his final appearance for Monmouthshire coming against the Kent Second XI.[1]
Cope was also a footballer. He played initially for Llanelli A.F.C. before signing a professional contract with Bury Town and later Ipswich Town. Cope came close to winning a Welshcap, when he was chosen to play against the Republic of Ireland, but hours before the match was due to kick-off, the selectors realised he had been born in England and therefore ruled him ineligible. During the Second World War he played a number of friendlies for Cardiff City, where he later took up a coaching role with the club.[4]
