charon 4,943 Posted March 17, 2019 33 minutes ago, Paul Bearer said: Apparently his grandson has been on Twitter denying he's in hospital. Not quite. FOLLOWING recent social media speculation regarding Celtic legend Billy McNeill, the McNeill family has issued this update. 'Further to speculation circulating on social media we would like to confirm the following. As is widely known, our father, Billy, has been battling dementia for some time. He is currently in hospital receiving treatment for an illness. However, at no time have the family been called to his bedside and reports of his death are untrue. 'Whilst we appreciate the love and appreciation shown towards our father, the current rumours are upsetting to us as a family. We would appreciate if people would refrain from spreading such stories and respect our request for privacy in this matter.' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,480 Posted March 17, 2019 He was one of the old timer guests for the Champions League draw in...2014 or then abouts, and looked hellish. Clearly hadn't a clue what was going on around him. A shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
