    The tributes and outpouring of grief from all clubs in Scotland and around Europe just shows the influence he had and the impact made by that Celtic team in ‘67.

    Captain.
    Legend.
    Billy McNeill.

    Went by at 1215 to pay my respects and leave some flowers with my old mam.
    She was getting a bit upset because she was lucky to have watched him all those years. She was telling us the story when the big cup came to home when they all went to Celtic park to see it.

    Haven’t been on here in an age, but prompted to sing the praises of this legend.

    An almost mythical figure in football folklore, it’s so hard to comprehend his contribution to Celtic and British football in general.

    RIP.

    A sad day indeed. We have lost one of our own and the finest Captain Celtic have ever had. Billy will rightly be remembered as a very humble man who epitomised everything that being a Celt means. Legendary status is bandied about a lot these days but if one man ever truly deserved that honour it was the one and only King Billy McNeil.

    Thoughts and prayers go out to all his family.

    :shamrock: RIP Billy. :shamrock:

    I think we all feel a profound sense of loss. I cannot add anything new to the above tributes, we all know how much Cesar meant to the club, and how much he did for the club. A legend in every sense of the word.

    Stunned. Only just heard the news. Although it will be a blessed relief for those perhaps closest to him, who will have seen his long struggle with dementia rob this great man of some of his facilties, it is a loss none the less to one and all.

    Rest in peace, Cesar! YNWA
