I love that line about Bobby Robson talking to an 18 year old Coppinger and telling him he reminded him of Gianfranco Zola.

Bittersweet. I can't help feeling there's a parallel universe where Coppinger played 600 PL matches and 80 times for England. But then who would he have been to us Rovers fans?

Probably someone we met once on a cup run and hurled vitriolic abuse at for 90 mins.

If even Silverstone has a Copps corner then surely we can at least name a stand after him  :lol:

Even the United Nations have named their Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow after him. :scarf:

He might make a career as a footballer, perhaps for a couple of seasons

Looks like a hippie with that long hair, he’ll never make a career out of it

Might be making a comeback tonight. We are a bit short of bodies aren%u2019t we.

Wellens and Copps in midfield. Great memories. We just need Stock and Oster and then a full house.
Greeny might make a guest appearance.

Stop dreaming CR.

We could always ask their manager as well?
