Stevie Cooper was best known for his time spent at Airdrieonians. He was part of the Airdrie side that made in to the 1995 Scottish Cup final and played the full 90 minutes against Glasgow Celtic as the Diamonds lost 1-0 to a Pierre van hooijdonk goal.Before joining Airdrie, Cooper played for a number of clubs in England, most notably Tranmere Rovers, where he scored twice in Tranmere's successful playoff campaign in 1991 that saw the club promoted to the first division, and he also scored in the club's 3-2 defeat against Cooper's former club Birmingham Cityin the Leyland DAF Cup Final, also in 1991. In 1984 he had a loan spell in Holland with NAC Breda.
He was inducted into the Airdrie United Hall of Fame in 2004 as recognition of his service to the club. Stevie Cooper sadly passed away in the same year at 39 years of age.
Steveie was a cult hero amonst the Airdrie faithful and will be sorely missed by all their supporters and members of the club.
