My Take
Davie Cooper moves me more than most footballers I write about. A Hamilton boy who once worked as an apprentice printer, he rose to become a winger whose left foot was the stuff of legend in Scottish football. Then, in 1995, he was gone at just thirty-nine. That early loss casts everything in a different light. His story is a working-class fairytale that ends too soon, yet endures precisely because it transcends goals and results. I think the measure of a player is how warmly the game remembers him, and Cooper is remembered with real love. I tip my hat to that left foot.
