I just seen a post by a well known celtic noise member bertie auld I thought to myself wouldn't it be great if it was the man himself I could listen to him all day and night.I think it would be a nice idea if the powers that be on the noise could maybe get some past or present players to do a question and answer session. What player would you like to ask a question of and what would it be.hh

Too kind jinky but if it's the post that I think your talking about,Bertie Auld is my dad's hero he said he was the dig the steel the engine room to make the bhoys tick.
He went to all the games him and his grandad at first then he went on the supporter's bus and the Lisbon lions are true pioneers of the way football should be played a never say die attitude fought for each other and would beat opposition with style grace and dignity with respect to your opponents win lose or draw and add to that honesty truthful and humility and never took anything for granted in football and in life so made them true inspirational hero's to a man and what's now known as the celtic way we'll they all walk on water to me and my dad the joy and success they've given and passed on to generations well to me it's a Film and an Oscar in the making from it's origins to date.
My dad used to say the only downside to that glorious night in Lisbon,was he had to go to mass twice that day because it was a holiday of obligation ? even on our greatest night my old man still complaining you canny win with some folk alway's complaining ?

What I'd give to have had the opportunity to break some bread with Tommy Burns.
Beyond the football, there is the depth of humanity and humility to consider too.

The guys leading up to and after the seville run were my and still are my hero's. Just my generation....not a bad time to be a lad looking up to those players and the things they achieved.
Wish I'd been old enough to go on a few of the euro away days.
My ideal would be getting the best of that 10years together get a skin full of pints and just listen to the stories.
The quiet dafty grinning in the corner not sure how he ended up at the table ?

How about this guy as a hero he gave us and introduced the conveyor belt that continued and provided all our heros thanks to his vision and building when giving the reins.

Had the pleasure of spending an evenin in the company of big billy, Bertie, Tommy gemmill and all the rest a while back in Vegas at a Celtic convention. Unbelievable craic they all were. Lookin back now I probably didn't appreciate it enough at the time. But if I had a chance to meet with anyone alive or dead it would have to be brother walfrid. I'd love him to see what Celtic have achieved mainly because of him. And maybe I'd like to have a craic with Jimmy mcgrory.

If ye ever get the chance to go to a Celtic convention in Vegas, it's the best craic you'll ever have in your life.
