Clyde Valley 234 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Same here mate. Hardly missed a game during the Cooper era. Still brilliant to watch. Will we ever see a player as good at Ibrox again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we ever see a player as good at Ibrox again?It may take many, many years. He has that magical, graceful, almost balletic movement akin to Cruyff or Zidane.

gmcf 26,789 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Never get tired of watching these clips of Davie Cooper - he was that good. I was lucky enough to see the Cooper era at Ibrox and doubt if well ever see anyone as exciting again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Valley 234 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Me and my mates all took a day off work to attend his funeral. Not many former players you would do that for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StublueKPL 524 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Lived on copland road and went up to the gates Christ knows how many times to look at the tributes.My sister honestly asked me if I would start supporting motherwell when we sold him. Was raging but obviously would never have done that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clan macrae 292 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 All magic moments,count myself as lucky to have seen nearly every one of his games for us.Even remember him playing against Grieg for Clydebank in the cup games.He gave big John a roasting.I find it strange that there is no statue of Davy outside of Ibrox as i think that would be a proper tribute to not only a great player but also a fan.

Right beside Homebase for anyone who hasn't seen it. A statue would be a great tribute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allgers 735 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 A unique talent, we were lucky to have him, the way he had total control of the ball made it look easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 A god amongst men in his early Rangers days, i think the next Coops or Laudrup or Baxter will have to be produced by our youth system as we probably will never afford to sign these kind of players again.

Clerieblue 24 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 The word 'legend' gets used far too much these days but it is spot on for Davie Cooper Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Artagnan 13,249 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Likewise OK. That Dryburgh Cup FInal Goal was "Roy of the Rovers stuff". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop 654 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 One of the most naturally gifted players to ever grace the game anywhere. The man didn't run, he glided and to this day I feel we let him go too soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mearns loyal 2,033 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Loved the Rangers, hated them, mix this with a wonderful,wonderful talent and you have Davy Cooper. If Souness,Wilkins and Gullit tell you you're a player then you are a player out of the top drawer. Left us all with many memories and a quote that is now part of our history...
