A true Rangers legend. Being a Celtic fan he did break my heart on more than one occassion but you could only stand and admire the man's skill and ability. That's god got his wingers, Jinky on the right and Davie on the left. Sleep tight lads
Not ashamed to admit I cried when I heard Coop had died. Roasted my heart on a few occasions when he ripped my beloved Celtic to pieces but God was he a joy to watch. If it had been a Brazilian who had scored that goal in the Dryborough Cup we'd still be raving about it. RIP Davie Cooper..Scotland and Rangers footballing GENIUS!
Im a Hibs fan for my sins, however im a football fan first, And I appreciate great players whatever club they play for.. Im lucky to say I watch this man at his best and still believe he is the best player ever to grace our stage in scotland
Irish man here. Came across his name in a Twitter thread of peoples favourite players. CZcamsd it. Holy shit how have I not heard of this man until now. What a player
@@jamieaitken9279 I know well about the talent you’ve produced down the years from Dalgleish to Law to Jimmy Johnston. I know my football you could say, which is why I’m surprised if never heard of Cooper. Looks unbelievable
I'm a Hearts fan and I remember him taking Walter Kidd to the cleaners at Tynecastle, absolutely brilliant player who died too soon. A great video to see a brilliant footballer. 👏
The respect coming from fans of all supporters says it all for me. I had the privilege of seeing Davie at his awesome best on many an occasion. I shed tears the day he died. R. I. P. Davie Cooper.
Respect from a bear it's such a sad thing but probably only thing we have mutal Respect our teams heros that are sadly not hear anymore so many greats of the game from all our Scottish teams appreciate it . Hope all our heros are still having derby's in the clouds 🌟🖤
Don's fan here, but have to admire this man and his incredible natural talent as a footballer, probably the best left foot this countries ever produced
What a talented player Davie Cooper was. Wish we had a player like him today. Ruud Guillit said Davie Cooper was one of the best players he ever saw. What a compliment.
Guillet just named him in his best Xl of all time ahead of ronaldinho 😲 its the reason a you tubed him to see just how good he was, fantastic video he looked an amazing player
What a player, had the pleasure of watching him loads when I was a lad. Still my favourite player. Laudrup, Gazza and even Larsson er the Road were magnificent, but Cooper has something special.(He was born a Gers man)God Bless you sir.
Jim Leighton said to The Coop after the 87 Skol cup final, "I nearly got a hand to that Davie" Cooper replyed "It must have been on the way back out" It summed the man up, supremely confident and multi talented, Scotland's greatest player.
From a Dunferfermline fan, loved watching Davie Cooper, including at the end of his career playing for Clydebank when he was still the best player on the pitch and had ball control that is way above anything you see today.
Only seen him once at Palmerton when Rangers played Queens in the cup. Cooper came on at half time and totally run the game. He was everywhere and the best player I have ever seen in person.
Could watch him play all day. While I'm happy Davie stayed loyal to Rangers in the bad times of the early 80's, part of me wishes he had moved to England or Italy and got the recognition his talent deserved.
The rangers support know how good a player he was and at the end of the day that’s all that matters. Same thing with Gerrard. Obviously everyone knows he was an incredible player but people still bring up the Premier league. Had he moved to chelsea in 05 he’d have won the Premier League but ultimately he’d just be another player. Instead he stayed and became a Liverpool legend. Same with Davie. They’ll always be remembered by there respective club.
The year 22 and davie cooper was simply the best. In davie cooper words. I played for the team I loved. I support 2 teams rangers and whoever plays celtic. 🏴🇬🇧
A Hearts fan here but what a pleasure it was to have seen Davie Cooper play. I was at the game in the first clip. He was an absolute genius taken from us far too early.
19 years today and the man is still a Legend and always will be. You never get fed up watching these clips, such a tragic loss to all in football. R.I.P Davie Cooper....long gone but never forgotten
20 years today now....In another 20 years youngsters will be watching clips from Cooper ..... He will never be forgotten by any gers, Motherwell, clydebank, Scotland fans or anyone who seen him play
That free kick against Jim Leighton would still be rising to this day if the net hadn’t stopped it… even after all these years it still surprises me how hard he hit that ball. PERFECT technique.
Special, Just very special, I Look around at the SPL games thease days, I don't see any player capable of getting near the Skill he had, Scotland will always love you my son R.I.P .
Ah, what a player. Just watching these clips takes me back to the time when I was a young lad playing football for various boys' clubs. Unfortunately, my dad wasn't in to football and hence I wasn't encouraged. I felt as though I had the magic eye, particularly as I always played in the older teams and wore the number 10 right mid jersey. I recall watching the Aberdeen vs Rangers game live that is featured @ 2:34-2:43 in this compilation. You could hear the ball "crack" the back of the net! ACE!
Davie was a rangers can who lived the dream of playing for his team the Glasgow rangers was his team and he was a fan who lived the dream always in our hearts never see another one like you you are and always will be super cooper one of the people follow.follow
Only come across him as Ruud Gullit mentioned him in his dream team, I’d never heard of him! How come he never got any bigger recognition??? What a talent!!!!
he reminds me a bit of giggs ,the flair ,the burst of speed, the genius control ,if he plays in todays game ,the world wud definitely know more about this wonderful player,davie ur a rangers legend
I remember standing at Hampden on the terraces as an Aberdeen fans and seeing Dave Cooper standing over that freekick and having a sinking feeling in my stomach even before the smashed it into the top corner! What a player he was, died on my birthday as well.
The man,the legend!,only one Davie Cooper.The best left footer to put on a Rangers jersey,watching him wi a baw at his feet against Celtic are for me the best memories of a player playing his heart n soul fur the jersey.R.I.P Davie Cooper
Im a Rangers fan since 1982. Read a lot abt his exploits & how he tore defences to shreds but didnt get to see him in action. Only here could I see it with my own eyes. Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant player. Was absolutely gutted when he passed on. Im quite curious & interested to see if that exciting new boy in the park, David Cooper Templeton, can be anything of the player he was named after. RIP Coop
scottish football in general needs a davie cooper like player again. Sadly with the current structures and pressures and such actually having a winger with skill and technique and imagination is secondary to them being able to track back and make forward runs.
@simooney07thats really good mate a celtic fan showing huge respect for a rangers ledgend. i am a motherwell fan and although i didnt get to witness the mans greatness i still view him as one of the grwat scottish footballers like jimmy johnstone a genuis down the wing the heavens 11 have got to footballing greats down the wing.
always been a fan but as a teenager the 1st time I seen Davie play for Rangers was on his debut against Ross County in a friendly 1997 (on holiday at campsite outside county's ground in Dingwall lol) ,, best left footer in the business, don't think anyone will ever match Davie or (dare i say it) Jinkie, true footballers who played for the team they loved
A true Rangers legend. Being a Celtic fan he did break my heart on more than one occassion but you could only stand and admire the man's skill and ability. That's god got his wingers, Jinky on the right and Davie on the left. Sleep tight lads
Even as a Celtic fan I couldnt not hit like on this video. A great player 🍀👍
Aye. Superb player.
Well said Mike
God bless
As a blue nose all my days , respect . Larsson was ALMOST as good 😁
Not ashamed to admit I cried when I heard Coop had died. Roasted my heart on a few occasions when he ripped my beloved Celtic to pieces but God was he a joy to watch.

Tim Carr respect to you mate

When my son asked me who's the best player ever apart from the big names everyone knows, Davie Cooper is top of my list.
Respect .....from a die-hard Celtic fan
Thank you Ruud Gullit.
I'm a Celtic fan, but I enjoyed watching that. That goal against Hearts was Maradona-esque. Beautiful and elegant. RIP
A Hearts fan here who was at that game but I completely agree with you.
Irish man here. Came across his name in a Twitter thread of peoples favourite players. CZcamsd it. Holy shit how have I not heard of this man until now. What a player
One of Scottish football’s greatest. We used to produce some amazing players!
@@jamieaitken9279 I know well about the talent you’ve produced down the years from Dalgleish to Law to Jimmy Johnston. I know my football you could say, which is why I’m surprised if never heard of Cooper. Looks unbelievable
Something else wasn’t he.
R.I.P Super Cooper

Hope all our heros are still having derby's in the clouds 🌟🖤

I never tire of watching Coop's skill, alongside Gazza probably the most entertaining to watch with the ball at his feet.
Super cooper, what a player... simply the Best 💙
Brings a tear to the eye, we all miss him so much. What a player.
A true legend of Scottish football
For some reason I always have a tear in my eye at the very mention of Davie Cooper. What a tragic loss
Same, had a wee greet after watching that.
Jim Leighton said to The Coop after the 87 Skol cup final, "I nearly got a hand to that Davie" Cooper replyed "It must have been on the way back out" It summed the man up, supremely confident and multi talented, Scotland's greatest player.
Im a Celtic fan but Cooper was a class act, one of the best players i've ever seen.
yohb7 well said
different class ..old school winger ....from a celtic man 👌
I love Davie cooper and Ally mcCoist
Wee Pedro James McGuinness 🇬🇧
Similar to George Best. Both sides of the Old Firm have had some superb players.
Respect from a rangers fan that's respect mate he's a great for rangers and the whole of Scotland
I'm not even passionate about football but as a youngster remember trying to emulate 'Super Davie Cooper' a true Scottish Legend..
Best dribbler of a a ball rangers have ever had , LEGEND 👍
As a Celtic fan, this guy was a magnificent player. Wish I could’ve seen him play. He’s tied at no.1 all time SPFL with Henrik, McStay and Laudrup.
Cooper for ranger for me, then mcstay for celtic. I'm a rangers fan and I've only said mcstay has to be 1 of my greatest scottish players.
@@janetgallacher7552
Remember how good fitbaw was back then 🥰
My favourite ever Scottish player, total class and a lovely guy too. From a Celtic fan
Painful watching at the time against Celtic, but now ... great to appreciate this man's amazing skill.
astonishing dribbling ability. Truly the best rangers player. Just imagine a team with him and laudrup in it😍😍
Him laudrup and gazza in one team

Well davie said him self he played with the club he loved.
I can still hear the sound of him striking the ball for THAT free kick against the dons, even over the music! RIP Coop 🔴⚪️🔵
From a Celtic Fan , what a player ! RIP Davie Cooper legend
The year 22 and davie cooper was simply the best.
In davie cooper words.
I played for the team I loved.
I support 2 teams rangers and whoever plays celtic.
🏴🇬🇧
Should have been aged 60 this week. Im still missing this moody blue.
I'm a Hibs fan. but I would say Davie Cooper is one of the best scottish players of the last 40 years. A great player indeed.
Not just scottish just simply one of the best
johnnyM809 well said Johnny and no doubt about it!
Better even than say, Kenny Dalglish?
@@MrIrishscouse it's close even though Kenny used to be a ger Davie was different class.
A Hearts fan here but what a pleasure it was to have seen Davie Cooper play. I was at the game in the first clip. He was an absolute genius taken from us far too early.

was the best ever Rangers player my hair used to stand up in the back of my neck just watching this world class player!
One of the most gifted footballers ever and was took far too soon sleep easy coop
Ah, what a player. Just watching these clips takes me back to the time when I was a young lad playing football for various boys' clubs.

The finest player EVER to wear the famous Royal Blue.
Just look at how many defenders end up falling over after trying to tackle him! Pure class.
Pure poetry.
The greatest winger I have ever been fortunate enough to see play. End of discussion.
Davie was a rangers can who lived the dream of playing for his team the Glasgow rangers was his team and he was a fan who lived the dream always in our hearts never see another one like you you are and always will be super cooper one of the people follow.follow
Only come across him as Ruud Gullit mentioned him in his dream team, I’d never heard of him! How come he never got any bigger recognition??? What a talent!!!!
Because cooper played for the team he loved, I would never had moved from rangers. Only thing the guy did was play footie and goto the bookies.
The most gifted player ever to pull on the blue shirt. R.I.P.
he reminds me a bit of giggs ,the flair ,the burst of speed, the genius control ,if he plays in todays game ,the world wud definitely know more about this wonderful player,davie ur a rangers legend
Wish I was old enough to of seen him play with my own eyes the free kick against Aberdeen offt! R.I.P a talent taken far too soon!
Superbly talented player. Has there ever been a free kick as hit as cleanly and powerfully as Cooper’s against Aberdeen? Thunderous! 🍀
20 years on Mon 23rd March since we lost Super Coop. My legend. Taken too soon. RIP Davie.
Certainly the best Rangers player I have seen.
Awesome skill, class and trickery. One of Scotlands greatest!
22 years tomorrow He's gone wish I had the chance to see him play from the videos I have watched 😢
The Moody Blue.....awesome player....the free kick v the dons in Skol Cup Final....one of my fave EVER goals
Amazing player always in our hearts rangers till wee die

Incredible. Hope Scotland produces more like him (and they all play for Rangers!)
Aha now that's wishful thinking but I would love it
Magic in those feet what a player what a legend 🤍💙❤️
Aberdeen fan. Davie Cooper was brilliant.
Im a Rangers fan since 1982. Read a lot abt his exploits & how he tore defences to shreds but didnt get to see him in action. Only here could I see it with my own eyes. Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant player. Was absolutely gutted when he passed on.

Thank you so much for this. Brilliant !!! x
Taken far too soon, 23 years ago, what a Legend
I'd love to see Coops in Mark Warburton's Rangers.. Utterly magic.
scottish football in general needs a davie cooper like player again.
Sadly with the current structures and pressures and such actually having a winger with skill and technique and imagination is secondary to them being able to track back and make forward runs.
That free kick against Aberdeen will never be bettered🔴⚪🔵🇬🇧🇬🇧WATP

A truly magnificent footballer! Hope he's enjoying his 60th birthday! (From a Celtic fan)
