    Basically all the Lions but especially Murdoch, Lennox and Jinky.

    Danny McGrain, Kenny Dalglish, Dixie Deans.

    Would have loved to have seen George Connelly - greatest Celtic player that never was.

    Then you’ve got the likes of Patsy Gallacher, McGrory, Charlie Tully.

    Always been fascinated by the story of Mohammed Salim, coming over from India in the 30’s, playing barefoot. Must have been brave as * man :56:

    Scored Celtic's first ever goal which just so happened to be against Deadco.
    This was the strip that they played in
    [​IMG]

    and this is last ever strip before the change to the hoops

    [​IMG]

    Just found that the first ever trophy that Celtic won in the hoops was in the first season of wearing it.
    A 3-2 win against Deadco in the Scottish Cup final.
    First ever goal in the hoops was scored by Jimmy McMenemy against Partick Thistle

    Was lucky to see Bobby Lennox but he was the only Lion.

    Has to be Jinky for obvious reasons..

    However, my Da always raves about George Connolly and what a player he was and could have been, so aye would have loved to have seen him in the flesh.

    My dad loved him because he kicked a ball at a referee’s head, allegedly on purpose.

    McGrain. The face older relatives pull when you say his name tells me he was special.

    i was only young when McStay played so don't remember him much, heard he was a fine player though in a difficult time carried grant who was nicknamed peter the pointer not too many older celtic fans think fondly of him that i know because he just pointed you get him , you get him and shat it from hurlock also..was also there under tony mowbray management.
