An experienced manager too. Here's hoping he comes through this. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamCam Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Sadly Cooper never recovered from the fall. I remember him as a very robust player who played in an exceptional Aberdeen team. I met him at a corporate day out - on finding out I was a Morton fan he was winding up his former team-mates (Miller and McLeish) by inviting me to recollect the 'Ritchie' goal at Cappielow.

forfarton Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 So sad to hear this news. As an Aberdonian, I grew up supporting Aberdeen (before discovering Morton) and Neale was part of a very special team. I still have my vinyl single of European Song autographed by Jim Leighton. I also went to the same school as Neale, although slightly later, and he was always held in high esteem there. RIP Neale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found him unusual as he was born in India. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
