Ein ganz trauriger Tag für unseren Verein.


R.I.P. Capitano

RIP Cesar.

Wieder ein Löwe weniger, aber immer in unseren Herzen

Einer der größten Celts überhaupt.

R.I.P. Billy

Vom heimischen Paradise ins himmlische Paradise gegangen.

R.I.P. Cesar!

auch unser Siegtorschütze Stevie Chalmers ist gestorben, R.I.P.

-----------------------------------------------

"Stevie was a much-loved husband, father and grandfather, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this desperately sad time," said Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell.

"This is a particularly devastating time for the Celtic Family, with the passing of Stevie Chalmers coming so soon after his friend and former team-mate, Billy McNeill. My condolences also go to the Lisbon Lions, already mourning the loss of their captain, and now grieving the death of another one of their own.

"Stevie Chalmers was a Celtic legend, and one of the greatest goalscorers this club has ever seen. Indeed, only three other legends in Jimmy McGrory, Henrik Larsson and Stevie's close friend, Bobby Lennox, have scored more goals.

"However, there is only one man who is able to lay claim to having scored the most important goal in Celtic's 131-year history, and that man is Stevie Chalmers.

"Like his team-mates, he remained a quiet, humble man, happiest in the company of his fellow Lions and his fellow Celtic supporters."

Ein weiterer Lisbon Lion ist leider heute von uns gegangen.
Die höhere Ordnung will definitiv seine Stars wieder zurückhaben.


TRIBUTES: Lisbon Lion legend Stevie Chalmers

R.I.P. Stevie


Waren ja im März 2007 zum 40. Ehrenabend in der Konzerthalle in Glasgow eigeladen. Hat mir ein Autogramm gegeben, wie der erste Schütze Tommy Gemmell auch. Eine ganz schwere Woche für unseren Verein, aber man wird halt nicht jünger.

Was für ein Abschied heute.

A great story of the magnitude of Jock Stein and how much he achieved on and off the pitch for the city of Glasgow.

In 1956, after a heavy defeat to Rangers it became clear that Celtic could no longer challenge for the title that year.

A successful and much loved Celtic team was coming to the end of its days- with Stein, Peacock, Evans and Tully etc, a mix of catholic and Protestant player crowned as league champions 2 years before and Coronation Cup winners in 53 and celebrated as a victory for diversity in fractious times, all nearing the end of their careers

After that defeat fans favourite Tully, brought up in a Catholic community in the even more divided city of Belfast, was incensed - pointing to Stein and other Protestant players blaming them for defeat and saying “we need to get rid of these orange b*****s if we want to win anything.”

Stein jumped up and attacked Tully, punching him across the dressing room before grabbing him by the throat until his face turned blue- only stopping when Irish hard man Sean Fallon got in between the pair- possibly saving Tully’s life but also making it clear to him his rant was unacceptable and pointing out the success of the “mixed team” as it was known then in Glasgow.

The incident caused a major split in the dressing room that would never be healed- Tully apologised to the team for his comments but him and Stein never really spoke again off the park and Stein left the club around 6 months later.

He of course returned as the club’s first non-Catholic manager around a decade later- when Celtic were going through another slump and again calls were starting to come to make it “all Catholic” side in response to the apparent success of Rangers and their “no catholics” policy at the time- but Stein dug his heels in and insisted on keeping their founding principles of being a club “open to any race, religion or nationality” and was vital in the club retaining this policy.

In 1967, with a squad almost made up of a 50/50 split between religions, Stein led Celtic to the European Cup in Lisbon.

In 1971, Tully passed away at the tragically young age of 47 in his home of Belfast- during a particularly violent period of “the Troubles”- a few days later Stein received a letter from Tully written from his death bed- thanking Stein for the “lesson” he taught him that day in 56 and “proving to everyone that bigotry is for fools” with his all conquering side before admitting he was always too proud to apologise in person and always regretted it before ending the letter with a request for Stein to carry his coffin at his funeral.

Stein was only to happy to accept, however the infamously brutal Northern Ireland police force the RUC visited Celtic and warned them that no current or former players or managers were to travel to Belfast “under any circumstances” as they “couldn’t guarantee their safety” such was the profile of the club

But the legendary manager ignored their advice and risked arrest by secretly travelling to the funeral under a false name and, in a show of defiance even bringing along his young captain Billy McNeill, and showing respect to his old pal by carrying his coffin as requested. [FOUR LEAF CLOVER]

“Jock Stein was many things to many people; he was the man who stood with pickets during the miners’ strike of 1985 telling ‘scab’ drivers that they were doing good people out of a job. He was the man who stayed behind at Ibrox after the disaster of 1971 to tend to the injured and dying. He was the man who entered the crowded terraces at a Celtic away game to tell fans that there were enough good Celtic songs without adding politics or bigotry to their repertoire. And most of all he was the all-conquering manager who made a team born of an impoverished migrant community the best in Europe.” -

Jozef Venglos ist von uns gegangen

"I have such a strong attachment to the club and it’s impossible not to feel passionate about Celtic when I watch the team. Most of the time, I watch European games as a coach. But when Celtic play, I am like any other fan.”

Celtic: Neil Lennon's successes will live on once anger over the ending subsides

Ein Artikel, von dem ich nahezu jedes Wort unterschreiben kann. Es ist ein Trauerspiel ('Scottish football's own Shakespearean tragedy' finde ich tatsächlich sehr treffend), dass es soweit hat kommen müssen, dass am Ende bei mir, bei so ziemlich allen Fans und wohl sogar bei Lennon selbst vor allem eine große Erleichterung darüber herrscht, dass seine Zeit als Trainer bei uns jetzt vorbei ist. Und so vieles davon wäre vermeidbar gewesen, wenn irgendeiner der Verantwortlichen rechtzeitig gehandelt hätte, wenn man die Konsequenzen aus dem, was für jeden spätestens im November schon klar zu sehen war, rechtzeitig gezogen hätte...

Trotzdem wird Lennon für mich eine Celtic Legende bleiben, mit all seinen Höhen und Tiefen, den Triumphen und dem Scheitern. Ein Mann, der wirklich alles was er hatte für diesen Club gegeben hat, Anfeindungen und Angriffe ertragen hat, die beispiellos im schottischen Fußball sind, als Spieler und Kapitän zahlreiche Meisterschaften und Pokale geholt und uns nach Sevilla geführt hat (womit meine Liebe zu diesem Verein damals begonnen hat) und als Trainer einfach ein integraler Teil des in jeder Hinsicht historischen letzten Jahrzehnts war.

Hail Hail,

jemand Interesse an einer neuen Immobilie?

Die alte Wohnung von Jock Stein steht zum Verkauf.

Krass, wie bodenständig das damalige Team gelebt hat. Wenn man im Vergleich dazu die Villen der heutigen "Stars" anschaut
