blupac 82 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It will be 20 years since Davie Cooper passed away and was wondering if the Rangers support will be planning anything to mark his passing. I made a video in 2013 dedicated to Coop but I may make a new video for the 20th anniversary. Give me your thoughts on this and whether you know the club have anything planned.Here is a link for my previous tribute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The game coming up against cellic at Hampden will bring back many happy memories of his amazing, almost casual, football skills at the same venue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,524 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Love that shot after he scores the penalty in the Skol cup and McCoist lifts him up, punching the air, with the fans celebrating in the background. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Go on then, how many on here have actually pictured themselves doing a Davie Cooper "keepie up" goal against the tims at Hampden.I certainly have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 33,927 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 That was a very fitting tribute. Always remembered for the Dryborough Cup goal , and rightly so , but that goal he set up for Fleck against Tampere was sublime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gartsherriederry 81 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Loved the guy I had the pleasure of training with him when I was 14 when I was at Motherwell he used to coach us on a wed night and I was in awe of him even tho he only said a few words to me it was like wow Davie cooper spoke to me ?..then he died a few weeks later totally gutted when my p.e teacher came and told me..hope the club does do something but with that board I doubt they would wven entertain it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,241 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Effortlessly sublime. Loved the guy, and he was a hero of mine growing up.I was in the main stand the game he struck THAT free kick past Leighton. Would have sworn it was a rocket he set off.A legend. Unfortunately the likes of a man that my young lads will not have the chance to hero worship.Davie, oh Davie Cooper..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the likes of a man that my young lads will not have the chance to hero worship.Davie, oh Davie Cooper.....Leighton claimed to nearly get a hand to it, Davie replied, dryly, "aye, on the way oot"Loved the guy, as Tannerall said there was something almost casual about his genius.

jcb 1,167 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 One of the best hours of my life was being shown around Ibrox by Davie on a matchday.Gentleman and a true bluenose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianferguson 2,619 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 1981 Scottish cup replay against scumdee was Davie's finest game imo and I'll be forever grateful to have watched him win cup finals on his own in a very average team when I first started going to the games home and away during Greig's reign.

choochooblue 342 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Love that shot after he scores the penalty in the Skol cup and McCoist lifts him up, punching the air, with the fans celebrating in the background. That picture is always memorable for me & my bro as we are celebrating in that shot right behind Davie when Ally lifts him up . Great times !!

TheBluebells 6,898 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'm too young to have seen Cooper play but I've heard many tales from my Dad and obviously seen plenty of footage of his genius.You'd like to think something will be done, maybe best contacting the fan groups considering how we are at board level just now?

16BlueSherbert90 19,175 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I am currently reading the book COOP- The Life of Davie Cooper. Still saddens me at the sudden loss of such a great gentleman. You should definitely make another one. Although your last tribute is a gem.

OceanRain 2,845 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 "Well, I promised you drama just a couple minutes ago and you've got it. A wonderful bit of play by Rangers. They've totally skinned the Celtic defence and left them looking as if they had lead in their boots rather than studs. Cooper just rifled that past Pat Bonner! Absolutely no chance! His defence were folded up like a piece of cardboard. Carved apart by Rangers and a marvellous goal by Davie Cooper." - 9th November, 1985 (Rangers 3 Celtic 0) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert68 74 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 My mickey mate once admitted after a few shandy's that Coops was the best player he had ever seen kicking a ball.... Says it all about Davie Cooper.... RIP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,524 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 http://youtu.be/hJdAPyukA4cJesus. Brings back the memories of when radio was the only option to watch away games if you didn't go. A nostalgic part of me misses just listening to a good radio commentary rather than watching every game live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Persson 541 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Fortunate to have seen him so much on the pitch and spent time with him elsewhere. What I remember most though is going to game one night with the Uncle. He was one of the furthest traveled fans I ever knew. Anyway, we were getting a lift to Ibrox in a blokes mini van. This old bloke was another one of the Rangers Supreme fans. He was a bloody Encyclopedia on Rangers with Thousands of games going way back to Caldow etc. When he spoke about Rangers.....you listened. Walking to the Stadium the 3 of us in anticipation, he said to me " Well young man, you are in for a treat tonight, because I reckon that we have just signed a guy who could turn out to be Rangers best outside left since Davie Wilson". By God he was right and Wilson was a bloody Legend, so I found it hard to believe when he said it. The actual match escapes me. Coopers first game at Ibrox.......it may even have been a Cup game.
