djbroxybear 660 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Davie Cooper was one of my idols growing up, my first game was the 1978 Drybrough Cup Final where Coop against Celtic scored that wonderful keepy up goal. He scored some tremendous goals for Rangers over the years, he was a true blue What was your first game you seen Coop playing fellow bears... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillete 1,338 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 What honours did he win with rangersI knew we never won much in the 80's but could you imagine how good he would have been playing in our 9 in a row yrs Jesus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinGers93 388 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I sadly never ever got to see him but the stories my dad has told me and the footage I have seen is enough to show he was something special. That free-kick vs Aberdeen was simply stunning Super Cooper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart54 218 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Cant remember the first game I saw Davie play in but i certainly remember the 1979 Dryburgh Cup final and it was an honour to be at the game and to witness his fantastic goal that day. Like you, he was and still is an idol to me.Everytime we play the beggars at Ibrox or Hampden, I always wear my Rangers top with COOPER and 11 - just for luck!I dont use the the word "Genius" to describe very many Scottish players but I always use it to describe COOP.Sadly missed and will never be forgotten by anyone connected to Our Club.

Stu1993 101 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Was sitting thinking about how close Cooper and McCoist where, and what if McCoist was invite him in to his team after Walter leaves if he wasnt taking away from us. Cooper teaching Wylde ? would love to see how Wylde turned out after next pre season haha.Rest In Peace Davie Cooper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinGers93 388 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 My da always tells me the story of how when Jock Wallace came back that he told Davie was overweight and wasn't fit enough to play and wasn't allowed to until he lost and a stone. Davie lost that stone in 1 week and was playing the next game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKai 439 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 First game i saw him was when we played Clydebank, I think it was a cup competition. I was sitting in the Centenery Stand!He was wonderful...I took my American Brother in law to his first game, and even he was mesmerized by Davie.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Davie Cooper is the most talented Rangers player that I have seen. He was a truly special talent, and he was also a proud Rangers man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryTibbs 250 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I sadly never ever got to see him but the stories my dad has told me and the footage I have seen is enough to show he was something special. That free-kick vs Aberdeen was simply stunning Super Cooper Some of the stuff in that video is unreal! His touch, balance and ability to run with the ball at pace. Someone said imagine if he was in the 9 in a row team, we would surely be one of the most feared in EuropeIm only 20 so never seen him in the flesh, I just hope one day we have a player close to that level againGod Bless Davie Cooper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davie_bluenose 20 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 The guy was my hero when i was growing up, i always remember him walking back from the Albion when i was getting autographs, and he came upto me and said "alright wee man" before giving me his, that didnt half make my day as a 14 year old. Luckely i saw him a good few times and he is a true ger, a true legend, red,white and blue through and through.
