    Sutton got injured in February and missed the rest of the season- this was in April- found that odd. But good story otherwise.

    I remember sitting in the car going to what was his debut in 1998 against Dundee and everyone was saying on the radio "Who is this guy? Why have they signed a 33 year old that no one has heard of??" I think it was Tam Cowan that said he couldnt believe Celtic did not sign John Spencer (who was available at the time) instead of this guy. And then bang.....they all shut up very quickly.

    Also remember an interview with Zinadine Zidane close to his retirement where he said when he was a young up and coming player in France he modelled his whole game around Lubo Moravcik. They were similar players when you look at it.

    Lubo turned down a move to Marseille the year that they won the Champions League, 92 or 93 I think. A lot of that team went on to AC Milan, Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid. Im sure if he'd have took that move that year then he would have ended up at level. What a player. Most two footed player I have ever seen

    I sit with my Granda at the football and he said quite a few times after a Lubo goal or a bit of magic, "remember that son, I've been watching Celtic for over 60 years and haven't seen anything like that."

    Although Venglos' reign wasn't a success the fact he blessed us with Lubo makes up for it in my mind. He's a guy that my generation will be talking about decades down the line.

    Your Granda was spot on. Lubo was outrageously talented...

    Even though wasn't at it unfortunately with the * ticket scheme, this is my fav OF game, that goal and celebration from Lubo are a thing of beauty, then Henke doing 50 if i remember right.

    Surely one of the best 2 footed players in the history of football! I still to this day don’t know if he was right or left footed!

    Mental how time flies.

    Probably the most naturally gifted player I've seen play for us.
