News reporting that Cooper was stabbed last night on Dorest Street. Disgraceful thing to happen anyone. I wish him all the best in his recovery and hope those who done it are caught or even better get their cumuppance.

Terrible thing to happen to anybody. I hope Johnny makes a full and speedy recovery. The filth that did this will hopefully be caught. An all to common occurrence these days from low life's all over the place. Best wishes Johnny lad,you are an inspiration to many young people and long may that continue.

Club in shock, but he's OK was stabbed about the head, but unfortunately this is all too common, he wasn't the only person stabbed last night unfortunately. So many young lads and lasses are easy prey in too many towns around the country in the small hours. This could have been so much worse, just hoping for a speedy recovery and huge wishes from his many fans.

Horrible incident, all the best to Johnny, think I heard on the radio that he is doing fine and will be released soon if not already though so that's good but these sort of incidents are totally unacceptable, they can turn out to be a lot worse, hopefully the scum that done it will be found quickly.

He seems to be recovering grand, thank God. Plenty of scumbags around unfortunately, luckily Johnnys a tough enough kind of cookie, or it could have been worse

Police have footage of incident , so hopefullly scumbag is found.

The more information that comes to light about this mugging at knife point, the worse it sounds.
Johnny was stabbed 9 times and had to get more than 30 stitches.
He was stabbed in the head, face, back and neck repeatedly.
Apparently one of the stab wounds to the face just missed his eye, and a stab wound to his back just missed causing spinal injuries.

Appalling. absolutely shocking.

A lot of this was caught on cctv, so hopefully the culprit will be caught soon....

Heard his Dad om Radio1 this morning and great to hear he will make a full recovery and will be back on the football field sooner rather than later. Really makes my blood boil knowing scum like this are walking around the streets.
