"What these players have to realise, is that when you put on the Celtic jersey you're not playing for a football team, you're playing for a community and a cause" - Tommy Burns

"That's was so special about them right there, Jim. Just right up there; that's what's so special about them. They're there and they're always there. And God bless every one of them." Tommy Burns, May 1988 (being interviewed just after we'd won the league and cup double in our Centenary year)

Anniversary of John Thomson's tragic death
IT was 82 years ago today (Thursday), on Saturday, September 5, 1931, that Celtic goalkeeper John Thomson received a serious head injury while playing against Rangers at Ibrox. He died later in hospital, having never regained consciousness after the incident.

´They never die who live in the hearts they leave behind.´

Heute war das Charity Match fĂĽr Stan Petrov:

Charity the winner as Paradise pays tribute to Stiliyan
YET again, Celtic supporters have proved they are special. On a Sunday afternoon in September, a remarkable sell-out crowd of 60,000 gathered in Paradise for a charity match and to salute Stiliyan Petrov. It is hard to imagine any other football club holding such an extraordinary event, but Celtic fans are proud of their club´s charitable foundations and they never forget their heroes, particularly in times of need.

Celtic Family remembers the great Jock Stein

TODAY marks the anniversary of the passing of Jock Stein, as it was on September 10, 1985 that the great man suffered a fatal heart attack while managing Scotland in a World Cup qualifier against Wales in Ninian Park, Cardiff.
He was, of course, the first manager of a British side to win the European Cup in 1967 when his Celtic team beat Inter Milan 2-1 on May 25 in Lisbon´s Estadio Nacional, and he enjoyed a glittering domestic career, winning 10 Scottish League Championships, nine Scottish Cups (one with Dunfermline) and six Scottish League cups.
Jock Stein is synonymous with Celtic Football Club, but he also managed Dunfermline Athletic, Hibernian and, briefly, Leeds United before going on to manage the Scottish national team from 1978 until his tragic death in 1985.
He had joined Celtic as a player back in December 1951, and was captain of the side which won the Coronation Cup in 1953 and then the league and Scottish Cup double of 1953/54.
Lisbon Lions captain and Celtic Ambassador Billy McNeill said of his former boss: “Jock Stein is a true great within the world of football. He was one of the finest men and the greatest manager I ever worked with.
"He made us what we were as a team and he was the major factor in the club´s success during his reign as manager - without him, none of it would have been possible and every Celtic supporter holds Jock Stein in equally high esteem.”
Today, the Celtic Family remembers a great man who did so much for the club and whose Celtic team achieved worldwide success, in the words of Jock himself: “...playing football. Pure, beautiful, inventive football.”

Zu McGrory:

The board tried to sell McGrory, Celtic's greatest ever goalscorer, to Arsenal in 1928. Knowing how loyal he was to the club, they lured him to London under false pretences and despite his unhappiness at this, and Arsenal's offer of making him the highest paid player in Britain, he refused to move. As well as this, throughout his whole career he was paid ÂŁ8 a week, ÂŁ1 less than the rest of the team.

Jock Stein: The man who made the modern-day Celtic
IT was on this day, December 4, 1951, that Celtic made a minor signing who would go on to change the entire course of the history of the club and in this week’s Celtic View we pay tribute to the great Jock Stein.
