    Got to agree with all of your choices.

    Seville run was obviously special as well.

    That Celtic 1-0 Barcelona was a fantastic night. I went to both legs.

    David Marshall was a brick wall at the Camp Nou.

    We were spoiled with so much genuine quality in every position through his time here (barring between the sticks).

    Was a great time as a Celtic fan watching us over power everything home and away (barring Europe :56:).

    Great times, 6-2 was great but beating Liverpool at Anfield was extra special for me as I've got a few Scouser mates who thought the tie was over after the 1-1 draw at Celtic park.

    What a result!

    I loved when MON jamp like a bean when we scored. The rest of the time he came across as a very sober and kinda boring guy but when Celtic scored you saw the emotion come out. That was great.

    Alan Thompson. As good a Hunskelper as you'll find.

    Unless your name happens to be Henrik Larsson. :86:

    Might have been able to attract better players then but it was a great period all the same.

    The absolute dominance that we had over the huns during the whitewash was brilliant to watch. That season really was something special.

    What a great thread and so many great memories. It is easy to say it now after the fact. But really when O'Neill was appointed Celtic manager from the off and the 2-1 win at Tannadice you knew we were going to win things. But I think we went beyond that. O'Neill and his team didn't just win titles and cups they entertained us and gave us a team that could compete with the best anywhere and was a joy to watch and support and gave us all so much pride in our club.

    Legends were made during the MON years. I'll never forget what he said outside Celtic Park when became manager.

    "I will do everything I possibly can to bring some succes here to the football club"

    And success he did bring
