superally07 387 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 to be named after a former legend ? When I was at the Elgin game I thought it was pretty special to have someone on the pitch named after the great Davie Cooper, I'm not old enough to of seen him play but I'm sure he would of been looking down a very proud man. Has there ever been anyone else named after a great? and do you think will we be seeing a few 'Nacho Novo Robertsons' or the likes in the future lol :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_ger 1,454 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Barry Ferguson had the same surname and Derek and Ian. EDIT: In fact there has been a long line of Ferguson's turning out for The Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDak 808 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I wasn't sure if the Davie Cooper salute was intentional with Templeton although, nonetheless, it's still a great name for a Rangers player to have.Since I don't want to start a new thread with this question I thought this would be the best place to ask:I heard Templeton was a Celtic fan (hence the reason why I wasn't so sure of the intention behind the name). Is this true or just more spiteful tripe coming from "supporters" of other teams? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDak 808 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ahh, now I see.Thanks for the info.Don't suppose it matters as much as a) him actually coming in the first place; and b) him scoring goals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
