Tommy Burns - On what it means to play for Celtic: "When you pull on that jersey you're not just playing for a football club, you're playing for a people and a cause”

Has anyone ever said anything as profound as this about Celtic and what it means to us all

“It would’ve cost less, and left the previous owners with nothing, to go into liquidation. But it would also be humiliating for Celtic. So we paid all the bills. Celtic means the same to me as it does to other fans. I identify with the club and wish to be proud of it.”
Fergus McCann (2013)
 
Alex Zanarde, an Italian who used to race in F1 then went off to race in the US, he had an horror crash, front of his car was torn off and amputated both legs above the knees. So here we have a young man that's gone from the glitz and glamour of top flight International motor racing to being severely disabled. Didn't keep Alex down for long though, he took up hand cycling (a sort of wheel chair but powered by a crank operated by your hands) Alex went on to win gold medals at the London and Rio Olympics. He sums up the indomitable human spirit and courage that some people can muster when everything seems against them, inspirational guy and a fantastic effervescent character. (and you wouldn't want to arm wrestle him!) alexzanardi.jpeg
