The Magical Davie Cooper- Never to be Forgotten

[OlegKuznetsov 10,816]

So grateful that I saw a fair few of these moments with my own eyes.

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?

It may take many, many years. He has that magical, graceful, almost balletic movement akin to Cruyff or Zidane.

My hero as a wee boy.

Still my hero today.

"I played for the club I loved" - says it all

Sometimes I felt you were watching him in slow motion.

[StublueKPL 524]

As I said before, my hero bit I have to say he was sometimes inconsistent.

But when he played...

[gmcf 34,152]

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.

[StublueKPL 524]

Nearly greetin watching some of that!!!

[Clyde Valley 234]

Me and my mates all took a day off work to attend his funeral. Not many former players you would do that for.

[StublueKPL 524]

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!

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.

Don't know if you have saw it mate but their is a fantastic statue of him at the showgrounds in Hamilton. Right beside Homebase for anyone who hasn't seen it. A statue would be a great tribute.

A unique talent, we were lucky to have him, the way he had total control of the ball made it look easy.

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]

The word 'legend' gets used far too much these days but it is spot on for Davie Cooper

[D'Artagnan 13,319]

Likewise OK. That Dryburgh Cup FInal Goal was "Roy of the Rovers stuff".

[Coop 654]

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.

[mearns loyal 2,714]

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...

[hammer93 15,057]

It saddens me that our youths missed the chance to be coached by such a

genius.

RIP coops.

[JohnHardie 1,405]

Legend.

I watched those 3 at various times and I can't imagine many fans anywhere in the World have been as privileged as me to have seen 3 such marvellous players. Simply The Best!

a great player,one off the best.
