Cheers, Larry. Couldn’t resist that one!Great article, Matt. This deserves special note:
"But three decades before Mel Gibson gave one lucky Scottish face-painter an unusual paid gig, Celtic supporters had their own hero of the same name to follow."
Hilarious!
Reminds me of Brian McClair in many ways, Kelly.Willie seems to be one those greats who shuffled along in the background not seeking the limelight just enjoyed playing the game and playing for the team , yet another brilliant player to ever wear the hoops
Really enjoyed that piece.“People in Glass Houses shouldn’t throw Tomatoes!” the funny wee bowlie legged Lisbon Lion...

A few recollections to share with you this evening on publishing Willie Wallace's biography Heart of a Lion back in 2012. The first from Arthur who was a Hearts supporter in his youth but decidedthecelticstar.com
Cheers, Digger.Best name I ever heard him called,not wispy our wullie,I heard this at a game can't remember which one but this has stuck ( The Wallace will sort them out) those first two words are so suited to the man and thanks again for the memories Matt
Cheers, Richy. Totally agree re humility. There will never be another group of players like this one, for me anyway. Total one-off.Enjoyed reading all that. Every time I read or hear something about the Lions..I'm always amazed how humble they are/were. Love reading about them though.
Over a hundred goals in his first 3 seasons is some going.
Cheers, Michael.Another great piece Matt, the highs and the lows,"The IMMORTALS meet the INVINCIBLES"! ah like that too! HH ☘
