Hail Hail to the CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE
WilliamGalliard-Driving up the M74 yesterday;turned the radio over at junction 6 and heard Gram and Emmylou singing'ooh Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor bhoy like me'which I took to be some kind of sign,but not in a bad way.
Good selection of photos.
WG - posted this on CQN, but wanted to make sure you get a peek - thought you might enjoy the Gemmell reference...
Guys - BBC website has a lovely wee gallery of photos old and new.
There is a stunning B&W one of the cup being held aloft on the truck - the sunlight gleaming off the silverware. Beautiful and poignant.
Surprisingly there is no article from Chic Young - surely some mistake?
For me it will be tommorrow that is important. My Father (Now passed) collected, and left in my keep, every paper from the day after our victory - and tommorrow I'm going to go round to my mums to wade through the emotion of them - then have a wee greet.
My father also purloined - many moons ago - a betamax of the game and I knew for quite some time how frighteningly one sided the game is.
Best quuote of today goes to my wife - looking through some club materiel and she spies a photo of Tommy Gemmell running on to the field...
'Look at the thighs on Tommy Gemmell!'
Jealous? No.
Just proud she didn't need to ask who he was.
And what a pair of thighs right enough.
U.
Right, I must admit when I heard that the club were making a big deal oot of the 40th anniversary i thought we were milking it. Thought the top and such was naff. a cash fleece etc. I really felt that we were beginning to go doon the England 66 route. But instead of it being an albatross like 66, I know realise 67 is a lot more. It disnny weigh oor club doon like 66 does to a nation, it makes us chest oot proud. It makes oor club what it is.
It’s a moment to celebrate.
Reading all the stuff over the last few weeks, i have realised that the Lions just didnae change the Hoops forever they changed European fitba as we know it. Made people realise that teams ootside Italy and Spain could win the big cup. Gave the English, Dutch Germans etc hope. Big Jock, maybe more won more but none done it like him.
Every paper today has an article aboot it, English papers included. I have just spent ma lunch hour reading them all.
To quote a famous Scot who uttered, “John, you’re immortal” I would change it to “Simpson, Gemmell, McNeill, Craig, Johnstone, Murdoch, Auld, Lennox, Wallace and Chalmers, you’re all immortal”
But lets not forget Charlie Gallagher, Willie O’Neill, Joe McBride, John Hughes and John Fallon. They weren’t on the pitch but they played their part.
Now, I’m going to the Celtic shop to buy a top I thought was naff…..
Sorry, forgot John Clark in lions line up...
memo to meself...read before ye post
