From (very vague) memory Celtic played Spurs in a friendly late 60s Queen's Park centenary match at Hampden on Saturday 5th August 1967. Queen's Park themselves played Great Britain Olympic team the night before. Match finished 3-3 with Greaves scoring a brace. Attendance was 91,708. It was Celtic's first match in Scotland since winning the European Cup (they had played away to Real Madrid in de Stefano's testimonial). It effectively replaced the Glasgow Charity Cup match which had been played between the Glasgow Select and a top English club at the start of each August upto and including 1966. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because I was young at the time, but I did quite enjoy their show, and I vaguely remember some decent sections when the World Cup qualifiers were on and folk were otherwise reliant on buying World Soccer to find out what was going on outside of Europe. They must have had some good staff working behind the scenes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't insinuating they were any worse than today's keepers, anybody can have an off day. And anyway, the mistakes cancelled each other out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 His 357 goals in the top league will never be beaten. Shearer is 2nd in the list, over 70 behind and he's the most prolific striker in the last 30-odd years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Listening to some fawning shite on 5 Live about him at the moment and some pundit c**t has just said “I was up in Dundee for the Dundee Derby at the weekend and even there, all they were talking about was Jimmy Greaves” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was their first season in the Premier League about 1986 and Greavsie was supporting them because they were absolute gash. I think he went a bit mental when they beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup when Souness was there. I'm a bit young to remember the whole thing with him and Accies but from what I gather it did start as a bit of a joke because we were shite but I think in the end he did have a genuine affection for the team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Some suggestion from a few seconds Googling that he may have chosen Accies as they're rivals of Motherwell who Ian St John played for. Also suggested that he was reading "You'll Never Walk Alone" on the gates at Anfield and joked "unless you play for Hamilton Accies", the club saw the clip and invited him (and ISJ) to a game and he was made to feel so welcome he developed a soft spot for them.
