Davie Cooper sadly died on March 23rd 1995.
He was doing what he loved best , playing football , he was acctually teaching kids the game.
Whilst teaching the kids for a tv programme he was struck down with a fatal brain hemorrhage he was only 39.
Ive lost count how many times I saw the great man play but I remember the first day I ever saw the legend play .........
Playing for his beloved Glasgow Rangers ..I saw him , and at the time it was my first ever Rangers game , back in August 1987 , Rangers were talking on Falkirk in a league match which they won 4:0.
I remember when I first took to my seat looking onto the flush turf that was Ibrox and noticing Davie during the warm up , I was only 13 at the time , it was like a dream , having watched him on tv and then to see him live!! was just a magical experience.
Davie was so gifted , hid left foot was a pleasure to behold just to see him pass the ball , take on players with his deft passing ability and skill , I'll never forget that day.
Its such a sad time thinking back to the day he died , the guy was a legend to me and will always be part of my memories.
