Inigo 32,526 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Yeah, Gullit said on a TV interview before Coop's death that he was one of the most skilful players he's played against, and he admired him hugely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DW1872 1,204 Posted October 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2018 I was just a bit young to appreciate Davie Cooper in his prime. My grandad used to tell me how good Davie was and I remember him barely able to speak when the news was on just after Coop died. He wasn't an emotional man my grandad, old school, but that really got him. Anyway the fact that Davie Cooper was my hero's hero makes this recognition from a world great very nice to hear and totally justified. Glad that was posted because I'd probably never have seen it otherwise.

philbear 2 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I remember watching Scotland v Netherlands quite a number of years ago . I went along as I believe it was Jim Betts Scotland debut . A very young Ruud Gullit played in that game - class was on show even then . Bett also had a good game IIRC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,274 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Amazing to think that over a 21 year spell (1977-98), we had Coop, Walters then Laudrup on our left wing. Few clubs can have been graced with such fantastic wingers over such a period. I think myself very lucky to have been there and witnessed all three of these greats play for our team. I wonder if the friendly Gullit refers to is the 3-3 KLM Cup game played at Ibrox at the back end of 1984? TEFTONG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 17,245 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Knew instantly what this would be about before I clicked the link. Nice to hear that he still thinks that way after what, 30 years? Also nice to hear him expand on his original quote a bit. Thanks for sharing!

JamieD 18,878 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 It's remarkable the way Gullit has kept talking about this for decades. Coop must have made a hell of an impression on him. He was banging on about him in that clip in the early 90s posted above, he included him in his FourFourTwo dream team about 10 years ago or so and now he's bringing him up again. A 20 year career played at the highest level and one friendly game against a guy playing, at the time, in one of the worst Rangers sides ever made such an impact on him.
