When people bandy the word "Legend" around about players these days they do a disservice to the likes of big Caesar. He was the definition of word. RIP big man, always in our hearts.

Rest in Peace Caesar, The first man on this Island to lift the big cup, a leader of men. Will never ever forget the centenary double in 1988.

"It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our father Billy McNeill," read a family statement, released via the club's website. "He passed away late last night (Monday, April 22) surrounded by his family and loved ones. He suffered from Dementia for a number of years and fought bravely to the end, showing the strength and fortitude he always has done throughout his life.
"We would also like to note our love and appreciation to our mother, Liz, for the care, devotion and love she gave to our father throughout his illness. No one could have done any more.
"Whilst this is a very sad time for all the family and we know our privacy will be respected, our father always made time for the supporters so please tell his stories, sing his songs and help us celebrate his life."
You'll always be the greatest, Cesar. And You'll Never Walk Alone. You'll be with Ronnie, Bobby, Jinky and Big Tam now.
