    Brilliant finisher.

    Another one who thought the grass would be greener, though. Norwich was a terrible move.

    Tbf, I believe it was between Norwich, QPR, and Hull.

    Hull probably would've been the best move overall but honestly not the greatest choices altogether. Was always destined to go to a relegation favourite.

    Hooper was a great player. Bet he regrets his move now though. He thought a wee stint at Norwich would lead to him being snapped up by a bigger EPL club.....wrong

    Loved him, could score in so many ways. I remember how depressing it was when he went to Norwich. Must have been depressing for Stokes tae cos he made him useful here.

    Extreme natural finishing ability, there's a goal he scored against deadco that was absolute world class the exact way he rolled it past mcgregor.

    Aye wasn’t half, especially because they were a team that played against his strengths like nothing on earth. Shame that.

    I didn’t grudge his reasons for moving, was gutted that he did though.

    Never really seen/heard of him talking about Celtic since he left, maybe we were just a stepping stone to the might of Shef.Wed.

    Really? He’s up at our games at least /2 times a season and everytime we’re on when Wednesday aren’t playing he’s got Mon the Hoops and the game up on his Instagram story.

    Am a dinosaur, don't have Instagram/facebook etc. so stand corrected. Just no keen on ex-players who take the "kings shilling" and find the grass is no so green.

    Bit harsh. He played with us for 3 years and left to get more involvement with the England setup which is understandable as they rarely pick players in Scotland.


    I'm sure he probably regrets it himself, and if not he will be happy with his contribution to our success in his time here. I still like they guy, gave me great memories.
