Koop then had a successful career in the Victorian Football Association as a key position defender, he was a centre half-back in Northcote's 1929 premiership team.[4] He was appointed as captain / coach of Prahran in January, 1931,[5] but had to resign in March, 1931 at the request of the Police Commissioner.[6] Koop then enjoyed some individual success at Prahran, winning the 1931 Recorder Cup.[7] Koop was also a premiership player with Prahran in 1937.[8]

The 146 game Prahran veteran was named, in 2003, on the interchange bench in their official 'Team of the Century'.[9]
