I'm reminded of a follower of a certain club that shall remain nameless allegedly saying that 1979 was his favourite year. "Why?" he was asked. " 'Cos two Popes died and Danny McGrain broke his leg" he allegedly replied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Celtic won the league that year on the last day of the season with ten men, beating the **** 4-2 to snatch the title from them, glad he enjoyed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think he'd have managed to identify the year correctly then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, one out with the Popes and two out in the opposite direction with McGrain's leg break. He sounds like one confused bigot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 The two Billy's, McNeil and Bremner, leading their teams out for the second leg of the European Cup at Hampden in 1970, Celtic beat Leeds United 2-1 on the night after Bremner had opened the scoring and levelling the tie with an absolute pearler.

I recall a bit of trouble during the game possibly initiated from the expats. Is the Souness thumb too far round for a normal handshake? I think he had just arrived the day before, and not with the team due to Italian commitments. He looks a bit pale and tired... Kick Off was about 8 in morning here and a lot of workplaces allowed the guys the morning off to watch it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversely, Celtic by all accounts did similar in the final and totally wrote of Feyenoord. One other wee bit of useless trivia from a personal point of view, my mates dad, George Connolly scored Celtic's goal in the first leg at Elland Road. Couple of years ago David asked me if I could rehang a radiator in the hall that had been knocked off by a sofa delivery guy or something.... he was at work but, as it was a quite big radiator his dad would give me a lift with it. Felt quite bizarre and truth be told I was a little starstruck at a Celtic legend such as George Connolly helping me hang a radiator, absolute gem of a guy too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only 14 at the time, but I remember thinking that Celtic had it won when it turned out to be a Dutch team in the final. I don’t think that any Dutch club side or the national team had done anything of note up until that point. Boy, did things change very, very quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic going through 3-1 on aggregate Wondered about the badge on the Leeds keeper’s jersey. From “Goalkeepers are different” website - Two Leeds United goalkeepers wore international jerseys for first team games during the 1970s. Gary Sprake set the trend by wearing an Italy shirt for the club's European Cup semi-final against Celtic back in 1970 while David Harvey wore a red Scotland international jersey during a league match against Leicester City in 1978. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
