    Hmm - the good old days when we could beat Ipswich every now and then.

    Loved watching Cooper play, used to just hang in the air for ages when going up for a header.

    Didn't know we used the coat of arms as the badge back then.

    I think it's 30 years this week since those two fantastic cup ties with Stoke, and Cooper's somersault. I'm feeling distinctly middle aged thinking about it. Bloody loved Cooper.

    Me neither. I thought we had the white rose badge at that time, after the Well/Oakleaf one a few years previously. BBC choice maybe?

    I used to love watching him and he certainly knew how to celebrate scoring. RIP.

    I bloody loved Cooper too.

    On thie opening goalscorer, I always found it sad that (Ooh Gerry) Gerry strongly associates himself with Leicester rather than Barnsley, despite playing almost twice as many games for us.

    I'm glad they used that rather than the Toby Tyke badge which Sky inexplicably used for a time.

    Still well up when I think i think of Steve. Got to know him a fair bit when he played for us and kept in touch afterwards on his travels. A sad loss.

    Always found it a sad irony that a head injury did for him given where he put his head when playing. He was fearless. With all respect to Saville and Rammell, I still scratch my head to this day as to why Machin sold him, I thought we were better with him in the side.

    I loved him my first proper hero.
    I was gutted when Machin sold him I can only think he just didn't get on with him.

    Think someone did a diving header on Saturday. ( summat brought it to mind ) and I said to my brother you don’t see diving headers in the norm. Nowadays. We then tried to think when the art dried out. I think this thread answers that. Steve Cooper. The man who started the somersault celebration that was wrongly attributed to Peter Beagrie.

    my hero when I was younger. I’ve only ever had a number on a Barnsley shirt once, even though numbers weren’t attributed to specific players back then I had an 8 put on the back at Sugg Sports for Steve Cooper.

    He used to train with a belt around his waste which had sand bags attached to it. He felt it made him feel lighter and helped him to jump higher in games.

    He was a complete mentalist but a lovely bloke who gave his all. He could be a right dirty ******* at times as well.
