Does anyone know the exact day,date of when Celtic paraded around Celtic Park with the European Cup on the back of a coal lorry?I'm doing a eulogy at my uncle's funeral&need the date
Thank you mateFound this....Less than 24 hours after their 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in Lisbon, the players, management and officials flew back to Abbotsinch Airport and held a victory parade ... on the back of a converted coal lorry.
So the date for the coal lorry would be 26th May.....
It was before I was born, but this website selling photos suggests it was 26th May 1967.Does anyone know the exact day,date of when Celtic paraded around Celtic Park with the European Cup on the back of a coal lorry?I'm doing a eulogy at my uncle's funeral&need the date

I have a book of Celtic newspaper reports dating back to 1925. I have the front page of the Daily Record from Sat May 27th 1967 the day after the Paradise parade. There is a good photo of the team and trophy on the back of the lorry.Does anyone know the exact day,date of when Celtic paraded around Celtic Park with the European Cup on the back of a coal lorry?I'm doing a eulogy at my uncle's funeral&need the date

Not sure about it being shown live, but definitely on the news reels and I remember seeing what I take to be a cine camera version later on and seeing myself but haven't ever seen it since.I watched the game on the tele.....next day....I sort of remember the lorry....maybe it was on the news....Can you mind if it was on the tele 50.....maybe it was the newspaper I saw it........Live tele had just come oot... ......
