I'm a Celtic supporter and I grew up watching Davie Cooper play for Rangers and Scotland(should of had loads more caps btw) , he really was one of the greatest players there ever was. Modern so called "greats" could have learned so much from Davie, not just the skills he had but also the manner in which he played the game. This guy loved his Rangers, a true Rangers man of that time. An absolute tragedy dying so young with still so much left to offer.
I never got the chance to see him play (I was born in '96), unfortunately. I've seen many videos of him, though. What a player and an absolute legend, 👌.
I said the same - keep your Laudrup's & Larssons Davie Cooper would bring Michael Schumacher to his feet with his skill. Tommy Burns was mourned equally on both sides as well.
Davie Cooper passed way to young. He was world class and was beyond his time. Legends may pass away but they dont leave us. It means nothing but i will say im a Celtic man. RIP sir.
Speaking as a die hard Tim Davie Cooper was sublime, the most skilful and entertaining player of his generation, the game just cry's out for players like him but unfortunately they don't come around very often.
So sad. what a player. I was 11 when he died and remember watching him on the football program he died on. STV done a great tribute to him. r.i.p to one of the best
davie cooper (supper cooper) will live forever in our hearts not just for the clubs he played for & he loved playing for his country SCOTLAND one of our scottish heros r.i.p
Davie Cooper was incredible Unbelievable. Colin O'Neill played in MOTHERWELL TEAM.I MISSED BY 40SECONDS FROM MEETING HIM AT HAMPDEN PARK 1985. DAVEY THE LEGEND.
his goals that took us to Mexico, that penalty in Cardiff and the tragedy after then that free kick v Australia at a packed Hampden the first Scotland game after Jock Stein died. Slow as a snail but turned as quick as a tornado. smooth as silk and sheer magic
Was just a boy in primary school when he was taken away. My hero then and still is now when asked to this day messi or ronaldo a still say.. super coop... still shed a tear for cooper...legend
Wat a genius of a player so.privliged I got to see him play all rangers player's now shuld b made watch videos of Davie and see wat the club means was taken to soon 😢😢😢
those malaysians who follow the legendary SHOOT mags should know how good Davie was even though Scottish football was not broadcasted in Malaysia those years ago.
Davie felt he could still play first team football, and Souness was unable to guarantee that at Ibrox after the arrival of Mark Walters, hence Davie signing for Motherwell where he was assured of a starting place.
Sad that Scotland haven't produced a player of his quality since he passed, Leigh Griffiths is looking very promising but needs to work on his dribbling skills, But his free kicks are too notch.
You just tried to compare the Beatles to one direction. Totally different class I'm afraid. Leigh is a wee Ned playing in the spl which sadly looks like a pub league these days
Very sad to hear the bigoted sectarian songs coming from the mob at Ibrox just at the start of the film. Davie Cooper would have nothing to do with such hatred and bigotry, Davie was a great player and a gentleman. RIP Davie Cooper.
Wonderful comments from Celtic fans tells you how good he was so appreciated 🇬🇧🇬🇧
hibs fan here. Davie Cooper was one of the best. If not THE best. Was a pleasure to watch him play.

The footage of him dying has never been aired. How did you see it?
Still shed a year every time I watch a tribute to coop. So sad to lose a true gentleman at such a young age

R.I.P Coop, Ty for the memories
51 now…childhood footballing hero. What a player. Undervalued outside the old firm.
A true real Rangers LEGEND Cooper was is easily my favourite ever Rangers player gone but NEVER FORGOTTEN WATP.
Davie Cooper was incredible Unbelievable. Colin O'Neill played in MOTHERWELL TEAM.I MISSED BY 40SECONDS FROM MEETING HIM AT HAMPDEN PARK 1985. DAVEY THE LEGEND.
In March it will be 25 years. How is that even possible? What a player. So sad how players like him and Phil O'Donnell could be taken away so young.
his goals that took us to Mexico, that penalty in Cardiff and the tragedy after then that free kick v Australia at a packed Hampden the first Scotland game after Jock Stein died. Slow as a snail but turned as quick as a tornado. smooth as silk and sheer magic
If you look closely enough there's a bit of Davie Cooper in Gascoigne
I canny watch this,it hurts too much.R.I.P davie.
Was just a boy in primary school when he was taken away. My hero then and still is now when asked to this day messi or ronaldo a still say.. super coop... still shed a tear for cooper...legend
Never understood why Souness got rid of such a skilfull player.
Can't believe it's been 25 years since this great man died he's my footballing hero!

Paul mcstay spoke like a true gentleman
I Was 14 When He Died, What A Player, He Was, 1 Word Describe 2 Davie Cooper, Winner,
was in longriggend when a found out.. was in tears! so sad.
The Original Messi, Super Davie Super Copper, There Is Only Great Davie Cooper, He Is So Sadly And Greatly Missed,
A true Rangers great.
What a player
My favourite ever player? Toss up between Davie Cooper and Zinadine Zidane.
Says a lot.
Davie Cooper
Well said Derek.
davie cooper - scottish version of lionel messi
those malaysians who follow the legendary SHOOT mags should know how good Davie was even though Scottish football was not broadcasted in Malaysia those years ago.
He was even better than that
Let’s not get carried away ! Messi is not that good
Why did souness get rid of him
Thats what I want to know
Davie felt he could still play first team football, and Souness was unable to guarantee that at Ibrox after the arrival of Mark Walters, hence Davie signing for Motherwell where he was assured of a starting place.
.
The BBC even back then showing their Celtic bias by heading to Celtic park for the Celtic players views before the Rangers legend DJ views. Cunts!
READYTEDDYBEAR you may be incurable..
Really, I think it shows players of the same era celebrating what a great player he was.
READYTEDDYBEAR no respect these days it's aw broonies and tyin scarves to goalposts fuckin tarrier bastirts
READYTEDDYBEAR away you go and get a life
I Wood Have Loved 2 Have Seen Him Play Live,
Sad that Scotland haven't produced a player of his quality since he passed, Leigh Griffiths is looking very promising but needs to work on his dribbling skills, But his free kicks are too notch.

I never compared Leigh Griffiths with Davie Cooper, I said he's looking promising,.
Leigh Griffiths is no where near that standard
Griffiths wouldn't deserve to clean Davie's boots.
Very sad to hear the bigoted sectarian songs coming from the mob at Ibrox just at the start of the film.
Davie Cooper would have nothing to do with such hatred and bigotry, Davie was a great player and a gentleman. RIP Davie Cooper.
