Book excerpt: 40 years ago a group of eleven young men stood in the Estadio Nacional in Lisbon and faced a crowd of 77,000 and the mighty Inter Milan. They were the first British team ever to reach the final of the European Cup. Indeed it was the first time their club had even played in the European Cup. And yet they faced one of the richest teams, with a fearsome reputation and an unbeaten defensive strategy.

Reinventing the team with his positive playing strategies, manager Jock Stein guided Celtic to victory in the Scottish championships and eventually to the European Cup itself.

Book excerpt: Nowadays it would be unthinkable: a team of local lads, all born within 30 miles of the ground, challenging one of the world's superpowers, Inter Milan, for the biggest club trophy of the lot - and winning. But that's exactly what Celtic achieved in 1967, thanks to the inspirational management of Jock Stein. In the process they became the first British side to win the European Cup, and they remain the only Scottish side ever to do so. The contrast couldn't have been more vivid when the teams lined up at the start of the European Cup final in Lisbon: while several of the Celtic players searched for a place to leave their false teeth ahead of kick-off, the Inter stars seemed to tower above them, tanned and confident as they prepared for their surely inevitable victory. But it didn't work out like that, as goals from Tommy Gemmell and Stevie Chalmers secured the 2-1 victory for the Glasgow outfit. Graham McColl has interviewed all the players from the Lisbon Lions as well as many of their opponents from their European campaign. They help reveal how Stein blended the very different personalities and playing styles into one formidable unit that was capable of taking on and beating the best Europe had to offer. A Year and a Day is a wonderful celebration of a unique achievement.

Download or read book Life with the Lions written by Ian Young and published by . This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ian Young played several seasons at Celtic Football Club in the '60s after signing from Neilston Waverley in 1961. During his time at the Club, the athletic, strong and tough-tackling full-back enjoyed league and cup success, and has often been credited in helping to turn the Club around by ending rivals Rangers' physical domination. Ian's name is warmly chanted in the famous Celtic song, Celtic, Celtic, That's the Team for Me' ('There's Fallon, Young and Gemmel...') He was also capped at Under-23 level for Scotland. Supporters and media reporters of that time say Ian's tackle on Rangers winger Willie Johnston in the League Cup final would spark the beginning of a Celtic team's ambition to match and defeat their greatest rivals with strength. It's perhaps no coincidence that Celtic would go onto make history soon after with the legendary Nine-in-a-Row era. Ian's autobiography follows the path from the humble beginnings in the junior ranks to European Cup nights and playing in front of 107,000 fans against Rangers. Just some of the highlights of a remarkable journey. The book also charts Ian's life, work and faith journey after he left Celtic. Ian Young is also listed in the few Celtic players who may well have turned out for Rangers, but for fate and circumstances. Ian ended his career quietly and without a fuss. This autobiography gives the reader a chance to get to know a player who served Celtic Football Club during its most significant years.
Book Synopsis The Winning Touch: My Autobiography by : Stevie Chalmers
Download or read book The Winning Touch: My Autobiography written by Stevie Chalmers and published by Headline. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Celtic's greatest ever strikers, Stevie Chalmers epitomised the exciting attacking football with which Celtic took Europe by storm during the 1960s. It was Stevie who scored the golden goal in the 1967 European Cup final that clinched the great trophy for Celtic and that saw him and his team-mates immortalised as the Lisbon Lions. Stevie was the Glasgow club's leading scorer in that amazing 1966-67 season, when they became the first British club to reign as champions of Europe and in which they scooped up every trophy at home. He was also the club's most prolific striker during the 1960s, becoming leading goalscorer for Celtic four times during that decade. It was appropriate, then, that it should be Stevie Chalmers who should nip in ahead of everyone five minutes from time in Lisbon to finish off, with finesse, the challenge of Internazionale of Milan, the richest and most successful club in the world. It was the most magical moment in Celtic's history and Stevie describes here, in fascinating detail, just how he came to be in the right place at the right time to write himself into history. Here for the first time Stevie relates key inside details of Celtic's path to glory, his own enormous personal battle to overcome a near-fatal illness to become a footballer and his sometimes uneasy relationship with Jock Stein, the Celtic manager. It all underlines the momentousness of his being there to accomplish that match-winning feat on Celtic's greatest-ever day.

Book excerpt: Relive Celtic's glorious treble-winning season in which they won the League Cup, the Premiership trophy and the Scottish Cup all wrapped up in green and white ribbons. Manager Brendan Rodgers led the Celts to all three trophies unbeaten as the Hoops finished the domestic season as "The Invincibles," becoming the first team to achieve this feat. The League Cup win, achieved with four straight wins, was also Celtic's 100th major trophy win. The Championship win was Celtic's sixth in a row, the third time the club has achieved this and the unbeaten league win was only the second time the club had done this, the first being nearly 120 years previously. The Hoops also created a new league record of 106 points and an SPFL record of 106 goals scored. The Scottish Cup win came after five straight wins in which the Celts scored 17 goals for the loss of only two. All these memorable moments are celebrated in full color as well as a special feature on the Lisbon Lions on the 50th anniversary of their 1967 European success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Fallon remains one of Celtic's great characters and is a lifelong supporter of the club. Now, for the first time, this Celtic legend tells the fascinating inside story of his career in football and his years with the club. Fallon joined Celtic in the late 1950s when the club was struggling, saw a fair amount of the desperate days of 1963 and 1964 but was there at the start of the glory years when Celtic won the Scottish Cup in 1965. He shared in good and bad times with the club, was the substitute goalkeeper at the European Cup Final in Lisbon in 1967, and was suddenly called into action in South America when Ronnie Simpson was felled by a missile - and performed brilliantly. He hit a low point in 1968 after one bad game against Rangers at the New Year, but fought back gloriously to play his part in the incredible month of April 1969 when Celtic won all three Scottish domestic trophies in one calendar month. It is a career he is rightly proud of and now John Fallon reveals the inside story and some brand new insights into his relationship with Jock Stein and other members of the Lisbon Lions, which were not always straightforward.There are accounts of his dealings with opponents, the clashes with Rangers and with European opposition in what was a fantastic era for the game in Scotland.He also shares his opinions on the art of goalkeeping, the state of Celtic at the moment and the future of the game in Scotland.

Download or read book Sean Fallon: Celtic's Iron Man written by Stephen Sullivan and published by BackPage Press. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sean Fallon is one of British football's great untold stories. For the first time, the Celtic legend speaks candidly about his time as right-hand man to Jock Stein and how together they ruled Scottish football and conquered Europe with the Lisbon Lions. We learn how the Irishman shaped Celtic's glory era of the 1960s and 70s by signing not only the majority of the Lions, but also players such as Kenny Dalglish, Danny McGrain, Lou Macari, George Connelly, Davie Hay, Pat Bonner and Paul McStay. Fallon also reflects on his stellar playing career including the 7–1 League Cup final win over Rangers in 1957, the lean years of the early 1960s and the uneasy final stages of his and Stein's tenure at Celtic. His own, oft-underestimated role is illuminated by revealing interviews with the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Kenny Dalglish, current Celtic boss Neil Lennon, chief executive Peter Lawwell, Stein's son, George, Sean's family and former colleagues.
