debear 603 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Is anyone trying to compare them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufforbero 128 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Not yet, no. Who knows what the finished product will become.Lots of people look ar the past through blue tinted specs though.Davie had some amazing performances and was a joy to watch at times, but there were quite a few indifferent performances in there too. But then who of us can be perfect all the time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eosmhdo 1,879 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Nobody was comparing him to Davie imo.His Dad named him Cooper out of his respect for a Rangers great and nothing else.Let the lad play and he will be great for us.Pressure like that he can do without Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter huistra 1,740 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Apart from the name i don`t think anyone could compare him to Cooper although id like to hope he can give the crowd the same kind of excitement .He will be a great Rangers player in his own right .

Big Al 55 9,324 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Nobody is comparing them, indeed presently there can be no comparison. Davie Cooper was one of most talented footballers the world has ever seen. Which was recognised by his peers at the time. The hairs on the back of my neck are standing up while writing this. The tears still come to my eyes every time I think of him and his untimely passing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMc 2,398 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 No one is comparing him to Davie Cooper and to be brutally honest if people had been geniunely comparing him to Davie then we would not have been the only massive club trying to sign him. David Templeton may well go on to be a fantastic player and legend for us but Davie Cooper was on another level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Pre Laudrup et al, on his day and to my mind at least, Davie would be a class apart.Fair comment..........but he was anything but unique..........good but not unique and watched him through the 70s and 80s. Would even go to say Davie was not a class apart from the likes of Willie Henderson or Wee Bud. That would be decrying the skills of those two named players.

Would even go to say Davie was not a class apart from the likes of Willie Henderson or Wee Bud. That would be decrying the skills of those two named players.It's subjective; I think Davie just gave me some of the greatest moments of being a Rangers fan with his style of play. Personally, only Laudrup has ever given me more.I'd never knock the talents of either player you mentioned, both greats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
