James Forrest

Got us through the qualifiers a couple of times. Some bhoy.

And again it was Rodgers who ended up managing his injuries and such.

If forrest didn't have problems when he was younger * knows how he could have been. Always loved wee shooders and grateful he loves being here still

 

Can you imagine growing up as a wee boy, a diehard Celtic fan as we all are, but then as a man to actually go on to be the most decorated player ever at the club you love?!

James Forrest has already lived his dream of actually playing for his club, but to then win more trophies than any other player in the very rich history of this amazing club.

It's actually mind blowing.

 

It was during Lennon's first stint they figured out his recurring injuries were likely related to his driving from and to training from Prestwick.

 

James Forrest, right on the cusp of becoming the most decorated player ever in Celtic's history. That's pretty incredible, isn't it? What can you say about James?

Probably not too much that hasn't been said before, but a remarkable player. Obviously, you see all the clips of him as a young guy, coming on at 17 years of age.

And now, you see him now, this experienced man amongst the group. Again, fortunate to have a player of that ability to work with. In 2016, there was doubt whether he was going to be here or not, but he stayed.

He was brilliant for me in the first spell. Come back in the second spell, there's maybe other players ahead of him, but he eventually grew and developed and felt the confidence and was absolutely instrumental in us getting over the line last season. And likewise this season.

His football brain is so good. He's a fantastic player. I see it on the pitch every day.

I think the other players, he's a great reference just for sheer quality in the games. You know, some of the players that are new here. He's such a big reference for the players. And to this day, he's still one of the first ones in, eats well, rests well, sleeps well, doesn't do silly things and is the ultimate professional.

And a guy with such humility, he'd probably be embarrassed to be given the accolades, but he absolutely, thoroughly deserves them because he's a winger. Any position to play that number of games and be in the position to win titles in any position is a challenge, but to be a winger at Celtic and stay the course, wow, some achievement.

 

I’m * desperately wanting him to score tomorrow. 16 seasons in a row scoring in the league, * just now at 15, I can’t see that ever happening again in my lifetime. A guy good enough to play for us for that long, and wants to stay that long, that’s special. I love that he’s getting the plaudits just now, from the fans and publicity by the team, that has been overlooked a lot of his time here

 

Next week Jamesy

 

Hatrick next week please pal

 

Edit: Wrong thread. Apologies

 

@Sgt Neppers* having a nightmare

 

Glad I stopped drinking

 

League's not won until Jamesy scores.

 

Fair play to Forrest, he's been a fantastic servant and deserves every plaudit heading his way.

Well, almost every plaudit - "Legend"??? No way...
