    He was a bit of a thug as a player but seems like a genuinely nice bloke. Heard him on Sportsound a few months ago and some of his stories from the Fergie days were hilarious. Hope he recovers.

    Seemingly had a fall on the way to a party on Saturday night, fell and banged his head
    Hope he pulls through

    Met Neale a good few times on nights out up here. Top man and a genuine soft spot for Hibs. Really hope he pulls through.

    Far too young

    His GIRFUY to the Huns after scoring in the 82 Scottish Cup Final was something to behold. RIP Neale.

    Neale Cooper was an excellent footballer - I think his ‘wild’ look may have made people think he was just a grafter or hard player. Definite memories of a talented player.

    Very sad news indeed.

    It brought back memories of his namesake, Davie Cooper who died even younger.

    We had a Neil Cooper in the late 80’s/early 90’s

    Think he also played for Aberdeen at the start of his career

    it was Graham Mitchell that signed with those 2.

    Sad news about Neale Cooper. Played his part in the tremendous achievements of that Aberdeen side and way too young to be taken.

    This is a real shocker. Met him a few times and had a couple of nights out in his company. Genuinely good guy who is worshiped up here. Loved a night out and always had time for everyone. I first met him in Dunfermline and he spoke very fondly of Hibs. I actually thought he was a bit of a closet fan. Next met him a few years later back up in Aberdeen. Not only did he remember my name but immediately went on to talk Hibs. Just shows you, you can be taken at any time without warning. Life is not a dress rehearsal!

    Nice post. I read an article years ago that suggested he supported Hibs as a kid. Memory might be playing tricks but im sure his dad was a Hibs fan.
