A collectors item today & a wonderful powerful header showing he’s still massively got it - a question for the stattos among us when was Copps last headed goal because off top of my head I can’t remember one

Off the top of his head, I bet he can’t remember either, Nick! 😀

His first ever Rovers goal was a header into the old Rosso end goal, can't remember too many other headers though!

There’s headers and there’s Todays header!! Never ever seen a Copp’s diving header. Absolutely fantastic goal.

Only scored with his head cos his legs have gone.

Stunning goal. He's always been a good header of a ball and should have put himself in the box more often over the years but, how great is it when you can have the luxury of bringing on Copps in a game like that.

It's all about the delivery.

A diving header beating two defenders to it. Coppinger showing physical fight we aren't used to from him, is there anything he can't do?

This is the 14th consecutive year he's netted a goal for us now. Some achievement.

15th. He scored for us in 2005 and every season since.

His first goal was 26 November 2005 at home to Bristol City.

He has scored in every calendar year since, meaning he has scored in 14 consecutive calendar years now (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18).

15 CBCB as yesterday was 2019 and you missed that off your list. Still an incredible feet.

And an incredible head.

I stand corrected - 14 consecutive seasons and 15 consecutive calendar years!

I believe Coppinger's last headed goal was against Fleetwood in August 2015.

I remember Coppinger as being surprisingly good in the air, particularly in his early years with us. So much so that we toyed with a White Men Can't Jump parody (Wide Men Can't Jump) for the fanzine, but beyond the title it was quite hard to put into fruition so never happened.

there used to be a schoolboy joke .....

Yesterday "It was a high cross and a different JC was there"

Manchester City eat you heart out

Copps himself must have forgotten that Fleetwood goal Viva.
He told me that his last headed goal for us was the first goal he actually scored for us.

I seem to recall it being at the Town End, Belle Vue not Rosso end as mentioned earlier but memory does play tricks

Definitely Rosso end, it was open for home fans that day and I was on it.

I stand corrected but I bet it wasn’t a diving header between 2 defenders like this one

Glen in the SOD era that would have worked with Mark McCammon out on the wing lol
