He was a fabulous footballer.

A great man and a great player, he will join Bestie in heaven to exchange anecdotes- the Largs boat story will have everyone 'up there' in stitches. As you have no physical form 'up there', I suppose you can't end up in tears, sticthes etc..... but you get my point.

The players shall wear 7, and we will hopefully score 7 in a tribute to you wee guy!

Thanks for the memories.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of anyone from the Celtic team of the bygone age other than Danny McGrain, nor did I have the privilage of seeing Mr Johnstone play, but some Scottish lads I know spoke very highly of him.
Its always sad when a footballing great passes on, especially when they actually PLAYED their hearts out and wore the shirt with pride. Something most players could learn from.

Thats most players from todays age

Hi Ace , It is not as bad as you may think. Plenty of players left who still play from the heart eg, Lampard and Terry also Rooney. Three players who are a the top of their game; but leave you with the feeling that even if they were not earning big money their play would still be the same.

I worked in his pub in Hamilton he was kind enough to tell me not to leave my Vinals in his bar the night of the accidental fire, He had another great Dixie with him famous for hitting my Uncle on the side of the head row 23 seat 54, instead of the net with a ball,
