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, 💙

[@jonnyxs892]

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

[@possobhoy4167]

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

[@WHU63]

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.

[@bazd]

met him great wee guy

[@Robert.Dickson]

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.

[@scottmcdougall1607]

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

[@BLACKLEYLAD1]

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

[@geoffreybarton42]

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 🇬🇧

[@erniescullion8452]

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

[@KSRugby]

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.

[@johncox5680]

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

[@marklaw7500]

Well put john

[@63mckenzie]

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.

[@35davg]

[@glasgowisblue5366]

Are you ok David?

[@possobhoy4167]

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

[@djsmiley1965]

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.

[@matrix26uk]

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

[@windowken]

Yes mate he was a quite man he let his boots do the talking

[@possobhoy4167]

That's a great memory 👍👍

[@jimborland2491]

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.

[@greencookie2288]

Dull yin man

[@raymondmcdonald355]

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.

[@furrybear7853]

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!

[@gamingshow1546]

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.

[@nickgierus6377]

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

[@janetgallacher7552]

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 ❤🤍💙

[@thewalkersontour8913]

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

[@stillwombling1971]

Mate I'm a life long gers fan. Gazza was my hero but watching cooper changed my opinion

[@davidduff3550]

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

[@frankjames5292]

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

[@davidcampbell8466]

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.

Brought back memories, and a tear to my eye.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

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

[@stillwombling1971]

I almost agree with that brother. Cooper was poetry in motion but gazza? Laudrup was a different class, almost cooper

[@thomaswigfield7623]

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!”

[@robertelliott2216]

Mate that was the late 80's either 87 or 89 !!!! 1972???????

[@robertelliott2216]

You thinking of Barcelona 1972 (Colin Stein scored 1 and Willie Johnstone 2 ) ?

[@thomaswigfield7623]

Robert Elliott Yes, sorry, slip of the finger. Definitely 1987 League Cup Final. Cooper equalised with THAT free kick, went to extra time, finished 3-3, ‘Gers won on penalties.

[@thomaswigfield7623]

Robert Elliott Still a good story though, isn’t it?

[@robertelliott2216]

Definitely my good man!

[@JD.78]

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.

[@cubbyrfc8263]

Gone but not forgotten. Btw missing u rangers 🇬🇧

[@jh-ge6mm]

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

[@L555HEP]

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

[@jenmlinfield4308]

SIMPLY THE BEST 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@bazd]

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.

[@havennewbowtow8835]

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

[@sandymack9345]

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.

[@gaffnaldo1]

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

[@tonymontana1179]

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.

[@johnnydavidson4064]

Super Davie Cooper Legend

[@darrendouglas3704]

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 .

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.

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.
