charon 4,943 Posted September 18, 2017 Re Wilson. Came through at a time Celtic were @#2 in European rankings, in a team full of Stars. Scored 4 times one season in Hampden Finals, and was one of my favourite players of my yoof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,472 Posted September 23, 2017 Possibly only of interest to me and Young Willz (though if he doesn't get a full BBC obit, I'll be having words) but have heard on the ground that the great man John Lambie is seriously ill. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A legendary hard bastard and top player that always made me think he was on the IRA council or summat. A footballer totally loyal to his one and only club ( apart from the Accies and they don't count) they don't make men like him anymore. Respect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted September 24, 2017 McGrains not deid ya loon. Most famous for being the punchline to the joke about the girl that had two tattoos of players on her inner thighs. "Naw sure about the left or right one, but the middle ones Danny McGrain".

charon 4,943 Posted September 24, 2017 Tipping up old huns #3, Johnny Hubbard made the match yesterday, but the most used words were 'recent scare' and 'frail', "very frail". One for this or next year.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,472 Posted September 24, 2017 Didn't McGrain have heart issues recently? He was a bit before my time, the story I know him for best (possibly made up, tbh) is Celtic playing some Albanian side in Europe in the late 70s, and the Albanian dictators lot trying to ban McGrain entering the country because he hated beards.

charon 4,943 Posted September 24, 2017 Assomjng the Partizan Tirana game. Yeah, Danny had heart issues recently, think he is fine though. Famously diabetic from young, that might have more of an impact in later years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,472 Posted October 2, 2017 It's 2-2 in terms of the 1966 World Cup final and the Reaper, right? Bobby Moore put England 1-0 up in 1993, then Emmerich equalised in 2003 before Alan Ball put England back in front, via a heart attack and garden fire. Then in 2011, Haller (who actually scored in the final) died. Now it seems a whole bunch of them are teetering on the brink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,227 Posted October 3, 2017 Unfortunately, his obit is unlikely imo. Not even his wikipedia page is edited to say he's dead. That, and the largest mass shooting in modern american history and Tom Petty's death make any chance of his obit diminished... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
