Shaka Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Crazy to think, but for a tickbox sheet, it couldve been us who enjoyed him in his prime rather than the blue side. Still, glad we got to enjoy him for a bit in the twilight of his career. Always has been a hero of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilyboy600 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Only Motherwell there selfs to blame as they spoke to him an insisted he you out to junior for a year, davie said no he could make it without going junior Motherwell said no he had to, and as they say the rest is history clydebank sign him the following week under his terms, this is fact I was with him the night he spoke to the well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned above we spoke to him but wanted him to go Junior for a bit to "round his game" I suppose. At the time, our scouts used a tick box sheet. The scout report showed he had skill and a wand of a left foot, but crosses for defending, tackling, workrate, heading & right foot. Clydebank got the opportunity and literally bagged up the money from the puggys in their social club and gave him it as a signing fee. The rest as they say, is history 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I suspect that if he'd joined us he'd still have been sold to Rangers around the same age. That's how things worked in those days. So it's possible we saw him in claret and amber for longer than if we had signed him as a youngster. We certainly wouldn't have seen him line up with Bobby Russell, who people tend to overlook when talking about Cooper, but who made a significant contribution to his success at Fir Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
