Ah Neale Cooper.

Think Stewart Downing and go directly to the opposite end of the scale.

I remember going to a friendly at Celtic. Their fans were giving Cooper loads of stick. I asked one of them what their issue was with him. He told me that Neale Cooper was the dirtiest player in Scotland.
Just the man we wanted, I thought. The trouble was that he was dogged with injuries and we didn't see the best (or should it be worst?) of him.

I was at that game too.  Preseason friendly (or not!) and Cooper made his debut for us.  You are right about the stick Cooper got from the Celtic fans.  If Evra wasn't too pleased with Suarez, I wonder what Walters thought of the Celtic fans that day!!

Although Neale Cooper hardly played for us,i remember him as one of the hardest players i have ever saw in a villa shirt.One of the memories i have of him is a reserve match against Coventry at Highfield Road and him dropping the nut on a Coventry player and getting away with it.
