My fave has to be Wullie Wallace....It was because of him, that I became a Celtic fan. When I was 11 years old...My next door neighbour was a Hearts supporter and tried to get me to support them, taking me to the Hearts games etc...Thankfully I never got interested in Hearts, but I did like, Wullie Wallace, who played for them at the time....Jock Stein signed him, in 1966, and that was enough for me...I followed Wullie and have never looked back since … He was signed for 30,000, a record Celtic transfer fee at that time... I really liked this recent quote from him..
“Maybe I am looking at things the way I did when I played at Celtic. We wanted to achieve everything. We were cheeky a***holes from Scotland, not the glamour guys. “We wanted to win the European Cup - now we have a manager who says we can’t win it. As a Celtic supporter, that’s c**p. “I know it’s a dream but I want to at least see them try. When the attitude is, ‘We don’t need to win, the gaffer doesn’t expect us to win anyway’ well, that’s not for me.
“Is just being realistic? We were all realistic in 1967. We went down that tunnel in Lisbon and looked at the film stars next to us. “We could have said, ‘Why are we going out there?’ But if we thought that, we’d have been better off staying in the dressing room.”
