DAVIE COOPER | The Moody Blue 

as a celtic fan i must admit davie copper was some player , may he rest in peace

As a Celt he was sheer class. What a player. RIP

Dave Cooper is a legend, one of the most talented footballers in the world, as a lad he was my hero playing for Glasgow Rangers , I’ll never forget him, 💙

Cried like a wean when he died And greeting again watching this What a player 🇬🇧🇬🇧WATP

What a player 👏🙌 full stop🛑 from a celtic fan 👍👍

Im 60 years old and a lifetime Rangers fan. Davie Cooper is still the best player ive seen in the blue Jersey. Sadly he died too young.

I am a Celtic man, but I can appreciate great talent. The man had a great left peg. There are many ‘ordinary’ players earning vast amounts of money who couldn’t lace his boots. Many of today’s players, particularly down south, have all the rewards but none of the success. Some of the guys going for £30m+ have never had a medal round their neck.

"I PLAYED FOR THE TEAM I LOVED" says everything about the great man. RIP TRUE BLUE

Yes, football fans all over the world, Rangers mad genius, loved him. MCFC.

I remember coop was presented a right foot by coisty at the rangers player of the year night.. Coisty said what do you get the man who has it all.... A right leg lol

So proud to have honoured Davie as a Rangers Club member & Chairman in Portadown back in the days a joy to be in his memory RFC 🇬🇧

Alot of people was JEALOUS of David Cooper to not give him the proper respect and how good he was also a very good looking man. David was fabulous

Football these days missing old school wingers like Davie Cooper. Too many athletes around nowadays and not enough players naturally talented with the ball at their feet. A genuinely exciting player to watch. Cooper up there with the best of them to come from Scotland.

being a celtic fan through and through, I cried for this man a deffo LEGEND and a Hamilton man

I remember seeing him play with Motherwell towards the end of his career. He was boxed into the corner, nowhere to go, a quick shuffle and he was passed the two defenders heading towards the penalty area. Incredible player.

what a player, seen u in all your games coop, will see ya soon in blue heaven

Crying like a child the day he died 💔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I was a wee boy and he was doing a book signing and me and my pals crowded into WH Smith in Killie. The staff shouting at us all because it was only his books he was signing. He told the staff to shut there mouths and told all of us to behave ourselves and he let us line up with the adults so we could get our shirts and pieces of jotter paper signed.

The 1st time I met him I was 12. I went to my mates Grans house and Davie was sitting at the kitchen table. My mate never thought to mention that his uncle was Davie Cooper! After that night he would always say hello to me whenever our paths crossed in Hamilton. True gent

A Genius who was taken away far far to soon, it broke my heart then and I'm very emotional today, but very proud that he played for us and that he was very proud to play for us, only wished like the great Sandy Jardine that we could have named part of the stadium after him WE'LL Never See His Like Again A True Rangers Legend R.I.P. Davie &Sandy 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Had the privilege of seeing Davie play in the flesh, What a player he was... I was in tears when I heard of his death.

He was my Dad's favourite Rangers player of the last 40 years, we lost my Dad last year. Coop, was, is, and will always be a Rangers Legend.

My favourite footballer of all time, genius talent never seen a better left peg! I remember the day we lost him..sad day but amazing memories! I'm not religious but he was given a gift for sure!

Can still remember walking past hillhouse parish church on the morning of his funeral....one of the greatest scottish players in history r.i.p the great davie cooper.

An absolute magician. I've been missing him for over a quarter of a century now.

I'll never forget the day he died, was in a history class, and the teacher had the radio on, was a sad sad day for scottish football, the guy was a legend, he played for the club he loved, R.I.P, the one and only davie cooper ❤🤍💙

First time I saw him play was against us in the league cup when he was with Clydebank. What a player!,,A legend!,,

Form is temporary class is permanent and davie was class world class very few players are like that simply played for the club he loved

I always admired wee Willie Henderson. and Jimmy Johnson of Celtic great to watch!!

To put it in perspective for the younger generation. Coopers left peg today would be worth more money on its own than Ronaldo and Messi combined.

Legend.

absolute legend, never forgotten by any gers fan, taken far too soon.

Super Duper Davie Cooper ! A legend of the Gers ! RIP ! 😥

Brought back memories, and a tear to my eye.

My brother’s favourite player, mine is laudrup both brilliant players

Davie Cooper was the epitome of true blue. That free kick against Aberdeen, 1972 League Cup final I think, Coop later told the story that, on International duty, Jim Leighton said to him, “you know, I nearly got to that.” “Aye” quipped Davie, “on the way back out!”

My child hood hero Rest in peace super cooper !!!

🇬🇧🤲 Wish he was still here 🤲🇬🇧

"I played for the team I love" - The Blue Brasilian. God bless you Coop. RIP

My first footballing hero. Brilliant player.

He took the time to hit a ball about out back door flats in hillhouse then came to my door with a real rangers ball the guy was a pure legend thru and thru

The best.. Enough said..

my all time favourite player. loved him.

doesnt matter what team you support - Cooper was one of the greatest players that Scotland ever produced

One word CLASS

am irish , before my time , great player . Nice control of ball and balance

This. Man, Player, was the greats I've ever seen, the moddy blue was so true. I tried to copy him, as I played the same position, as the man. But quality, can't be match. 🇬🇧On the wing🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

Davie Cooper was out this world imagine what he would be worth playing in today's game rest in peace coop GBNF ❤️❤️

I'm a Celtic supporter& watched Coops tear us to shreds,at times, Even late in his career. Players like him, jinky n slim Jim will never come through the ranks. RIP

Jim Leighton I got a hand to that.! Davie Cooper aye on the way back out. Class.

What a player this man was RIP Mr Cooper ❤🤍💙

We have blessed with some terrific players but Davie Cooper is an absolute legend he's something else

Absolute Legend Cooper signed for Rangers the year I was born and was still lucky enough to see him play live on TV when you were younger playing football in the street everyone wanted to be either McCoist or Cooper

Simply Super Cooper ! He loved a wee punt and a pint 🍻 Cheers RIP Super Cooper

My hero as a boy. A wand of a left foot & a true Rangers legend.

What a man, some player!⚽

The late , great , truly one in a billion davie Cooper, never forget that goal when he keepy uppied over 3 defenders an the celtic box before burying past the keeper. Super Cooper saw the face of God that day 🙌 😊5️⃣5️⃣🔵⚪🔴

The best to wear the jersey 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

Simple the best gers player i ever seen

Wish we had 11 of him 🔴⚪🔵5️⃣5️⃣ WATP RFC CHAMPIONS 🏆

Davie Cooper ,a good man a true Rangers Man .RFC1.

very poignant seeing Phil O'Donnell talking about Davie Cooper and the influence he had on him and Motherwell. Both taken far too soon. RIP Davie and Phil.

I grew up watching Davie Cooper playing for Rangers in the 80's. As a kid i admired Davie's skill at dribbling, passing and crossing. He was a great player on his day, as good as anyone when running at defenders, and could change a game instantly with a bit of magic from his left foot. R.I.P Davie Cooper. Always remembered, never forgotten. You're doing the Bouncey in the big Ibrox in the sky.

Gone but not forgotten. Btw missing u rangers 🇬🇧

Davie Cooper on the wing🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

So many words to describe the late Davie cooper the man had a great left foot a genius. Am glad I saw him play. Rip super cooper watp

2min.23secs into the video...Must be one of the best and hardest free kicks ever!! You can actually here his left boot connect with the ball and then the ripple of the net .. A real rocket launcher!! There was only one Davie Cooper..We were not worthy .... Davie...Oh Davie Cooper...Oh Davie Cooper on the wing . My hero. RIP

All Davie wanted was to play for Rangers and put a few quid on the horses. Lived the dream.

SIMPLY THE BEST 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Was lucky to meet him when our under 14s football team visited Ibrox for the day he's was under the main stand pinging balls at a numbered wall he was great with the me and the lads very quiet. Great wee guy.

Back when we had players and teams that could give anybody a game. Once in a generation talent, Sadly missed from a Hibs supporter.

The man i dreamed of being as a kid being a bear and left footed.. Boy i cried like a baby in the toilet at work when it came on the radio he had passed away..

RIP davie total legend 🇬🇧most talented player we have had

That's way more emotional than I thought even now.

Hell of a player. I wasn't alive for most of his career so didn't get to see much of him. Amazed how bad the goalies were back in the day judging by these clips by the way 😄

There was only one Davie cooper RIP Big man

He was a top fella fantastic player❤🎉

Total legend, thanks fur the memories. My favourite player when growing up as a bear.

Coop Loved watching him play. The free kick in the league cup final v Aberdeen. I've just finished watching it a few times..And yep the power of the shot is stunning not forgetting how spectacular,what I noticed in re watching it a few times was how he suddenly ran up and hammered the ball..He had saw the path to the top Right hand corner and he sprung into life..Totally meant. wasnt a sheer power shot.Accuracy..Man!.Absolute deadly intent. Glorious player Among the greats of Scottish and world football for me.

Everybody loved Davie Cooper, everybody appreciated how good he was at the time, not only when he sadly passed. Legend, right up there with John Greig, but the best Rangers player ever.

I Never tyre of hearing this flashback.i have been around the world and back again.well pleased .yes

From a Celtic supporter: Amazing talent. Absolute wand of a left foot and it’s a shame he didn’t win more trophies in his career (Davie I mean, obviously not the team lol), the era he played in was bloody awful and he should’ve tried his luck in England, he would’ve fit into the Liverpool, Everton, Nottingham Forest, Villa teams of the era no problem at all. Just goes to show he was a Rangers man through and through. Just interested in playing football, wasn’t bothered about money, flash cars, anything like that, only the love of the game. Used to talk to him in Hamilton, when he’d be walking his dog up the Bent Park as I’d catch him sometimes on my way to work, he was a really nice fella.

Super Davie Cooper Legend

Special memory with 2 men I idolised my Father Dougie Douglas & Davie Cooper both RIP ,Skol Cup Final when fans were squashed in like sardines in Old Hampden Park .Lifted over turnstile,vision of green & white & Red White Blue scarfs ,flags held aloft a vision seen you’ll never forget Davie Cooper scores important penalty & gave me proper special father & son cherished memory . Even Cooper with love & hate relationship with Celtic fans was one of rare players respected by Old Firm enemy Fans Penalty Scotland got v Wales even diehard Celtic fans I personally saw screaming Cooper it’s got to be Davie Cooper & Scotland erupted bigotry put aside for special player .I’m glad Motherwell got to see BOTH Cooper & Russel show off their ability & exite Well fans helped Motherwell fans win Scottish Cup Talk about Cooper as Motherwell best signing but I’d say Tommy McLean pulled off double masterstroke each off equal greatness signings Davie & Bobby . Looking back you now realise just how good they both were & very humble men . THANKYOU FOR & CREATING FATHER & SON MEMORIES .

Moody Blue ...dad .Tom Craig physiotherapist. Gave him his nick name .Ibrox had Pele in him .my late fathers words .He knew he trained ..healed and loved the man .How we were all blessed to have David .❤

Simply the best

Born with a Superhuman ability that turned defenders into spectators and spectators into believers in the power of football to lift people into the heavens. They don't make them like this anymore and if they did, they would be that good they'd have to make it illegal.

The biggest fault to Scotland is that they have never had anything to replace him with, And that and it tells you everything you need to know,,Legend and my favourite player as a Scot. To a Scot, love King Kenny too.

Just fantastic a great inspiration WATP

300 pounds of beer stained notes for the legend that is Davie Cooper. Unbelievable 🇬🇧🇬🇧 WATP

My hero 💙

I seen the best Rangers goal ever, right behind the goal & Davie the boy in blue scored it,Thank-You Coop.

Great tribute to GREAT Scot

I saw Davie Cooper in the twilight of his career playing for Clydebank against Airdrie at Broadwood Stadium. Of course, he scored from a free kick. He was a true blue legend.

The story I heard about the free kick was that Leighton later said to Cooper that he got a hand to it to which Cooper replied “Aye, oan the way back oot” 😂

Bomber legend

So proud to say,I skipped lessons at Bella to see rangers train, coop was very special then, to watch him play the entire time he was at ibrox was magical,…yet fans still moaned at him.

Davy oh Davy Cooper oh Davy Cooper on the wing A FOOTBALLING GOD. As Ruud Gullit said he was WORLD CLASS.

A joy to watch

My football hero. GBNF god bless Legend.
