I'm a bit young to remember Bertie as a player, but I was in awe at his one-liners and swagger when he managed Thistle, then Hibs.The best midfielder in the world.....I have been lucky. I have seen him play.. Bertie was the best I have ever seen. I loved him as a player and met him once. How clever was he? Watch him v Dukla Prague...how good was his passes..and he,s a a Celt
..God Bless him...Bertie is watching so don't mess Hail Hail
Frank, that's what I can't get my head around?70 Mill to buy Bertie these days...BTW he would lover this thread...got no recognition from Scotland ..3 Caps ...but then again he didn't play for the establishment club

Part of growing up was eventually getting to see some old footage of these bhoys, and by God - they could play too.
I envy you lads and lasses that saw these lads in their pomp. What I wouldn't give to see that team and those individuals up close and personal.
But Celtic supporters knew how good he was. .I didn't think to much about it at the time ..but we expected it..don't know why ..but that was the way it was...I was a playing for Glasgow at the time..and they gave us tickets Scotland v England Jinky played..I was in the schoolboys enclosure me and my pal John Burke who played for Dundee Utd..unbelievable ..fighin like fuck ..it was crazy..just full of Huns...Jinky scored 2 goals...there was no chance Bertie would have got a cap...they were just bigots ..
Horrible people .
I'm sure that Ten-Thirty has very few regrets, Frank.But Celtic supporters knew how good he was. .

He's worth at least two, Shammy.QUOTE="The Shamrock, post: 55896, member: 1701"]Why do we have 2 Bertie Auld threads??????
Think John greig had more caps than the lions combined,,,,wan sick country!!Look at the Lions cap collective as a whole...fucking laughable. Jinky alone, Bobby Murdoch? John Clark?..Ridiculous! Aye things were on an even keel...but we're there just paranoid....?
