Celtic players Past & Present you have seen/met (outside of celtic park)

Had a family do in the moathouse hotel in glasgow. Harry Hoods daughter was getting married so I got to see all of the guys from that late sixties era.Got my pictures taken with big billy and had a wee chat with him but the best bit of the night was when jinky and his wife asked to share my taxi.I was only going to sauchiehall street and they took the taxi back to uddingston. Me and jinky in a taxi on hope street singing the celtic song and the fields. By the way the wee man also did a top version of bed of roses by bon jovi

 

Have met loads of Players over the years, favourites have to be Billy McPhail in McDonalds just on corner of Argyll street near Central station, I was about 12, he was shocked I even knew him. Asked how I knew him and I said "you scored 3 goals in the '57 league cup final when we beat the huns 7-1" :icon_mrgreen:

Met Billy McNeill in BHS on Argyll street and several times since.

My all time hero is Danny McGrain and met him in Seville as well as another hero, Paul McStay, Willie McStay and Tommy Johnson that day.

Also had my picture taken with two players who played with Seville at that time, me and a friend were the first to stand with them and get photo taken, then people started forming a queue to have their pic with them, next minute word spread through the pub that Paul McStay was outside so the pub emptied and the two of them were left standing on their own with puzzled looks on their faces

 

when i used to play football we had a yearly event and they would get football players to come. One year i met John Kennedy and Shaun Maloney. I also met big Rab Douglas in Asda lol.

 

Scott Brown at a TESCO garage at my school. He was in court in Falkirk for a speeding charge. Asked him for a picture and he said "make it snappy"

 

billy mcneil, tom boyd, henrik larsson, johan mjallby, john hartson and paul hartley.

mcneill and boyd i seen outside east end park after we played dunfermline a good few years ago and rest were either at glasgow or edinburgh airport.

when i met big john i had a broken hand which i hadnt been to the hospital to see about yet (yes, before anyone asks it was a drunken injury) and he gave me the most powerful handshake ever. i honestly wanted to scream but i just smiled and moved on

 

My dad had scott McDonald pinned up against his taxi once when he played for Motherwell if that counts....

 

Met Tommy Burns and big Pierre outside back in the day when I was young. Burns was an absolute gent.

 

Larsson - * gentleman
Cadette - Loved the crowd
Di Canio - Stuck around for a while and made a runner for his car.
Lennon, Thommo & Hartson in the Rhinsdale at Baillieston Main Street, they looked at me and said not a chance in * you're 18 and slagged me a bit when I got caught out a while later. I was 16, sound as *.

Plenty more.

 

Bobby Lennox at Chapel

 

This must have been 3 years ago, Came out of Celtic Park with 5 minutes to go was walking down kerrydale street didn't have my glasses on so could not see a thing, walking side by side with us was Scott McDonald with a suit on before i could speak ti him he headed away where the players park, bet skippy must have thought what a ignorant * i was not speaking to him, was gutted myself as he was banging in goals for fun for us then. Have always wore my specs since haha

 

Only Stephen Pearson and Izzy.

 

Completely forgot I saw the entire team at Bisham Abbey a few years back when they were down here training. Got my shirt signed by everyone. Had Petrov on the back at the time so obviously got his on the back and everyone elses on the front lol I could frame it and sell it as reversible I suppose.
The best bit was getting in my Dad's car with John Clark to go get the lads some water from the local newsagents because they ran out! Think Bobo must have drank it all.
*Memories from that day flooding back now* - Remember slating John Hartson something rotten for doing less laps in twice the time as Tommy Burns.

 

Seen Pearson outside the St Enoch centre when he was playing with us.
And I seen Stevie Chalmers at the Jinky final. And I seen Paul McStay in SAinsburys in Braehead in like 2003 at Christmas, with his boys.
I really havn't seen many footballers in general nevermind Celtic footballers

 

the whole squad except mulgrew matthews and glenda
lennon and mjialby
bertie auld

Saw Craig Burley getting on our easyjet flight back once about 6 years ago. * as a newt couldn't stand up. It was about 6pm on a Sunday

 

Not outside Celtic park but met Lennon down the golf course at loch lomond after the Aberdeen game at the start of the year. Coming out his car, asked me how my game was and how I played. Then I asked if he was playing the Kennedy testimonial, he said 'naw ma knees are done', a said that's a poor excuse jokingly and he said, it's awright for you, your a youngster haha,just said to him fair enough then wished him good luck for his game.

 

Few years ago I was in Hampden with my school and I got my picture taken with Billy McNeill:icon_mrgreen: Also got a picture with Izzi at CP a few weeks ago

Met Paul McStay about 4 times, played against his son plenty of times.

Met big Dan 3 times in a month

Remember seeing evander sno standing beside a road in wood hill Bishopbriggs on the morning of a old firm match about 11 am very very strange haha.
