Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Hooper was the first cricketer in the world to have scored 5,000 runs, taken 100 wickets, held 100 catches and received 100 caps in both ODIs and Tests, a feat only matched since by South African legend Jacques Kallis. He even led West Indies after coming out of retirement, and the role brought
out the best in him. He averaged 50+ as captain, but a disappointing show at the 2003 World Cup saw him being replaced by Brian Lara. Post retirement, Hooper went on to coach local clubs in Adelaide, Australia, where he lived since the late 1990s.
Then in 2011, Hooper was named as the batting coach at the Sagicor High Performance Center in Barbados.
Interesting fact: He is one of only three players to have scored centuries against 18 different English county sides.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
It was March 31, 1995, West Indies v Australia, Bridgetown: the first morning of the first Test. Australia, off to a flyer, had taken three wickets for six when Cool Carl walked to the crease. Immediately Shane Warne was brought into the
attack to bowl the 10th over of the series. He went round the wicket. The first ball was met yards down the pitch and deposited in the air to the long-on boundary. Down the pitch to the second, Hooper inside-edged to fine leg for four more. The third received the same treatment as the first: 12 from the first
three balls. By lunch, Hooper and Brian Lara, in a memorable counter-attack, had put on precisely 100 together. That was Hooper's potential. His second Test innings brought a century in Calcutta, but all too often he failed to deliver. A mid-thirties average is a dereliction of duty for a batsman of his exquisite
charms and ability. The captaincy, which he took on after a prolonged absence from the side, briefly brought out the best in him, and for two years he averaged nearer 50. But, following a disappointing World Cup in 2003, he was replaced by Lara and once more reverted to semi-retirement.
