Big Ramy 1314 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Thought I would start a new thread. I hope this is not inappropriate. Came across this and got me thinking. We should have a thread dedicated to memories of our Football heroes.. Unfortunately there will be more added as time goes by, thats life, but their memories will always live in our hearts..

Fairbairn Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I was surprised to read earlier that Cooper was only 39 when he died, I had it in my head that he was closer to 50 (although if I'd actually thought about it that clearly couldn't be the case given he'd played in the SCF 4 years earlier). I distinctly remember hearing the news that he'd died on the radio in the 6th year common room at school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he had just done a training session, or was about to do one, at the time he collapsed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I probably knew he was still playing at the time but over the passing years my mind is playing tricks on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Och Aye Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Yes think he was back at Clydebank. Think he was filming a coaching Scottish TV show when he took ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamP Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 On holiday for a couple of weeks. Exploring Fife. Just going to Cardenden to visit John Thompson's grave then Hill O'Beath to see Jim Baxters statue. Any other football related places to visit Wullie Anderson? Will post pics.
