    I suppose I can be classed as an auld c*nt and I remember just how great a player he was. My favorite memories of him was his goals against Man Utd and the one against the huns. My seat is right behind the goal in the Lisbon Lions stand and I swear I thought his shot against the huns was flying bye the left hand post but it swerved and dipped right into the back of the net. Lovely. So tell your m8 that he was as good, if not better, than the highlight reel looks

    amazing player, one of the best foreign players ever to play for us

    always wanted him to play centrally but strachan liked him wide right at least thats how i remember things im probably wrong, im wrong a lot these days lol

    the game against the huns when he scored that worldy was he played centrally in that game or did he just come inside for a wee while

    Naka was genuinely our best player since Henke in my opinion, was silky smooth and the opposition tried to boot him but he just got on with it.

    Don't think I've seen another player that can make a free kick seem like a penalty.

    And a free kick was more of a cert than a Naka penalty as well :56:

    Yes I’ll be doing this SBC even though he won’t fit into my la liga team. I’ll be using him for free kicks of course!!(98 free kick accuracy) Played against someone who had him lastnight and he looks good

    Completed.

    A lot of nice cards to make a cracking Celtic past and present this year already.

    Former Celtic favourite Shunsuke Nakamura will be playing when he turns 44 after signing a new deal with Yokohama FC.
    The Japanese playmaker spent four years at Parkhead from 2005 and won six domestic trophies with the Hoops including three titles.
    He returned to his homeland 11 years ago after an unsuccessful stint in La Liga with Espanyol and now plays for Yokohama FC, who were relegated at the end of the season, after previous stints at Yokohama F.Marinos and Jubilo Iwata.
    And he's just been handed a new deal after he made 12 starts last season and will continue playing when he turns 44 in June in the second tier of Japanese football.
    Nakamura made his debut for Yokohama F.Marinos an incredible 24 years ago before moving to Scotland via a spell in Italy with Reggina.
    He won 98 caps for Japan and retired from international football after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa,

    Wonder will he make a trip to Celtic Park sometime with Kyogo and it seems likely 1 or 2 other Japanese internationals playing for us. Would be great to see him at Celtic Park again.
