Aw man I was at that game as a youngster with my oldest brother imatim, I was 10 yr old haha we aw know that we had to win 3-0 to go through and we were 3nil up at half time. There was an unusually electric atmosphere for the stadium was really only half full. I mind telling my pals I was going tae the game and how everybody was giving us no chance, aye we might win the game but they were a really good team 1 goal was all they need I mind my wee pal say and I hated him for that minute, putting a spoiler on my big night out although it was still light at the time we were getting ready to go. So weird remembering sporting running out I jumped up and doon "yeaaass the Celic cmoan the hoops " I'm shouting then I just mind they hooped socks and thinking eh? That's different then my brother telling me that's them and still I thought hes winding me up , some fancy European strip must be but then the roar as the green taps came out beautiful like the Adidas one the noo very similar. Tommy Burns that night I had never seen anybody play so well I think for Celtic as TB that night , bear in mind I was 10 but I'd been tae a few games, his hair in that strip it looked golden not ginger Haha funny how the mind works but that's what I thought and honestly I think that must've been the first time that I'd witnessed the swashbuckling cavalier all out attacking Celtic style and what a joy to behold and see , no team could live with that Celtic side in that mood. And honestly I would say that team , MONs Larsson celtic and this Celtic on this run are the three best celtics of my life that I've been able to witness , I was born 73 so missed the golden , truly golden Celtic by a decade , how I miss that Celtic style , aye aye I know the games changed noo more tactical an aw that , Paul mcstay was the first tactical technical player I can remember as well, picking passes away tae the other side of the stadium etc. I was also at the forest game next round and as good as Celtic were they just didnt let us play our game that way and they werent intimidated like Lisbon were and the stadium was full as well Haha but forest then one of the greatest teams of all time I feel privileged justvto have got the see them and even when we did score ye just knew we weren't going to score another 2 in time. But cheered me up fantastic memories as a waen of 10 and I'm amazed at how well they flood back seeing that. And who's the commentator? That's no jock brown I do not think is it? But as MD said there aye could hardly contain himself
brilliant stuff ☘
