Who was Better?

Davie Cooper... Laudrup was good but Cooper was WORLD CLASS.

[MikeBlue 136]

can't bring myself to vote on this. Both these players are my all time favourites. Anyone like myself that remembers both will say that each man displayed qualities that are rare in football today. unionflag.gif

Yeah, another one who can't choose here

[maxwellrfc 6]

went for laudrup cus a never got to see cooper play

[Neeskens 0]

I only seen Laudrup. And that was when i was young. So can't vote fairly.

[OlegKuznetsov 10,816]

Laudrup was more complete as a player, being two-sided with great natural athleticism, but Cooper had more natural ability and beat players without pace, just pure skill.

It's a hard choice, but I have to plump for Cooper due to service during the bad years and raw talent.

Gascoigne could be in this debate too. Mols might have been had it not been for that injury Vs. Kahn on the touchline in Munich.

Different times, different teams. Coops played in good teams at the start and end of his time at Ibrox, but lost his will to play during John Greigs managership.

Laudrup played in a great Rangers team. Talent/skill wise I think Coops just shades it but Laudrup was more dangerous and direct. I would hate to live on the difference as they say.

Laudrup was the Real Deal , Cooper is probably the best ever Scottish Ger though.

It's Laudrup for me. By far the most skilled and most talented player I've ever seen in a Rangers shirt (and I watched Davie, too.)

I'll go one further. I know of an old Rangers supporter who watched Rangers since the 1920s and who saw Alan Morton, Jim Baxter and Brian Laudrup. He thought the Great Dane was the greatest Rangers player he had ever seen. For someone to have watched Morton and Baxter to say that is the biggest compliment you could pay Laudrup.

having never seen 90 mins of cooper cant realli vote but his goal against them where he flicks the ball ova heads etc. . . is jus pure class

[Jardy 0]

Decided against voting as i did not see enough of Cooper being the age i am.

[scottylad72 19]

Picked Laudrup even though I seen both. Still think Coops was Mr Rangers and a true legend. But Laudrup had that wee something special in him that could appeal to the masses.

Would luv em both in the same team.

[BoltonLoyal 2]

Younger fans will say Laudrup, older fans will say Cooper, in general.

I'm an old git so i'll say Davie Cooper I think memories of players are generally more special when you're younger anyway.

[Wreckedroy 33]

Very tough question.

I've chosen Laudrup, purely for his pace and relative consistency. But if I were to choose again tomorrow I might pick Cooper. For what it's worth, my old man reckoned Morton was better than the pair of them!

[barrymorrison1 1,033]

coops.

i played for the team i loved.

dont hear anything like that from the danish superstar.

[blueboy94 54]

coops.

i played for the team i loved.

dont hear anything like that from the danish superstar.....

...but I did'nt ask the question who was more passionate about Rangers.

My question was,who was the best football player

[thebeerhunter 0]

Saw them both and would say that i saw Laudrup cause more carnage than Davie Cooper. Cooper was skilfull but he had to be in the mood. Laudrup , other than his last season, just ripped teams apart everytime he played.

[Youllneverwinaway 0]

Had the privelidge of watching both and whilst Cooper was the bigger Rangers man, he was not consistent enough(Yeah i know i will take pelters)

Laudrup was a class above everyone. He is a European Championship winner and his skills undoubtedly at times handed us the league. The same could not be said of Davie, as great as he was. Laudrup was World Class.

Ive spoke to DC a few times and he was true true blue, but have to be honest as usual when voting

[brissyger 8]

Never got to see Davie Cooper play unfortunately so I can't judge. Brian Laudrup was the best player that I've seen play for Rangers though.

[gersmad11 0]

Voted Laudrup. Only reason is because Brian was around when i was growing up and i saw him loads and live only saw Davie in videos etc

[broxi51 48]

both legends end of

[blueboy94 54]

So most people on RM think Laudo was better.

Thanks for informing me

[MosesMcNeil 1,664]

Comparisons are odious.

Cooper and Laudrup are too different in style in the first place. I'm grateful to have had the pleasure of watching them both many times.

[SUPERCOOPER 115]

Both geniuses :hail:

[loyalandtrueblue 69]

The Moody Blue got my vote,just :unionflag:

Although he was by far the most naturally gifted player to grace the Ibrox turf he was also the most frustrating at times due to his sheer laziness,but then all it took was just 2 mins of his mesmerising left foot to work its magic and all was forgiven!!! :bouncy:

Laudrup again was a natural talent that was on par with Cooper at times but for me Cooper just edges it!!

[Ace 3,556]

I always enjoyed watchin Cooper but what swung it for me was he was a home grown talent.

Cooper was one of the few Scottish players who i would put in the bracket of "world Class" .. IMO of course.
