Sunny Jim

Today Jim Craig has done a good piece about Sunny Jim on the Celtic Star. Today (September 4) is of course the anniversary of his tragic death in 1922. Given his great achievements, well detailed by Jim, why is there not a place for Sunny in the Celtic legends at the Jock Stein and Lisbon Lions end of the ground? He is surely worth squeezing in, I would have thought? Possibly not the most sophisticated of players, nevertheless an inspiring leader in difficult times with his two war cries of "Face the ball, Celts" and "Tak a Man Apiece" resounding through the hundred years since he stopped playing. Get his picture up there, Celtic! Or am I missing something here?
