    About this ebook

    Davie Cooper was without doubt one of Scotland's greatestever footballers, a man who excited and entertained crowds across the globe, whether with Rangers or Scotland, or later in his career, as part of Motherwell's 1991 Scottish Cup-winning side. He relished the big stage and although he unquestionably had the ability to play at any level, he always preferred to stay true to his roots as a local hero in the West of Scotland. Tragically, his life was cut short in 1995 when this larger-thanlife character who had enjoyed an incredible career died suddenly from a brain haemorrhage at the age of just thirty-nine. Now, in Coop, author Neil Drysdale examines the life of this sporting idol and includes exclusive interviews with some of the biggest names in football, including Sir Alex Ferguson, Gordon Smith, Craig Brown, Tom Boyd, Bobby Russell and Andy Roxburgh. But it also gives the fans who applauded his talents at Rangers, Motherwell and Clydebank the chance to pay homage to his myriad gifts and to remember his astonishing talents. Engrossing, insightful and entertaining, Coop is the story of a true star and a heartfelt portrait of a man who was taken from us far too soon.

    Neil Drysdale

    Neil Drysdale has been involved in journalism since the late 1980s when he began writing for "Scotland on Sunday." Since then, he has covered many of sport's biggest events, including the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa and the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and has watched Scotland's rugby team achieve heroic victories and suffer agonizing defeats from Edinburgh to Dunedin and Pretoria to the Parc des Princes. He has written several books, including the best-selling biography of the Scotland and Rangers manager, Walter Smith, an acclaimed biography of the motor racing star Dario Franchitti, and a much-praised account of Freuchie's march to Lord's in 1985. He currently writes for "The Herald" and lives in Aberdeen with his wife, Dianne. David Campese, born in New South Wales in 1962, is a former Australian rugby union player.
