The best player i ever saw. I'm a Rangers man who stood in the terraces biting my nails every time the wee man had the ball. Fantastic talent RIP Jinky
Jimmy Barclay fair play to you mate. There is actually a Jim banter and jimmy Johnston documentary on bbc Iplayer just now if it interests you. just on and select bbc alba and you'll get them.
Legend doesn’t even cover it. The wee man deserves to be spoken of amongst the greatest of all time. Up there with Maradona & Messi. Thank you Jinky. RIP
My father moved me as a child, love for Inter and for football. I started crying after the defeat of Lisbon, when the Celtic, in comeback, took us away a very disappointed Champions Cup, in 1967. But what was my first game seen on TV, remained the memory of this extraordinary champion, a right wing crazy, fast, even 1.60 meters tall, an authentic hummingbird with spiked shoes ..... Jimmy Johnstone ... I think that even today, in the sky, our Giacinto Facchetti is struggling to fight it .. ..
Same here. In the '70's, I lived on a council estate in Wales, I must have been the only lad to play football in a Celtic strip on the whole estate. With the socks down of course ! Jimmy was, for me also, a huge source of inspiration . My feet weren't as good but I never gave in to anyone.
halcyon289 when I was a boy playing I looked beyond the football. league for heroes apart from george best and. Charlie cooke and jimmy I loved when we could watch TV games and see foreign players from italy Spain and germany the old yugoslavia were always good...players like dzajic. when football was an art form ..but you could tackle in those days...not like now.. players would try to stay on their feet.....remember that?
Yes indeed. It was so much better back then. Tough players in defence and attack. My two lads watch the old Big Match games and European Cup matches on you tube. And they can see the difference. There was more time and space to actually play a decent game.
That night in 74 when those animals athletico madrid tried to half kill him in the semi final at Celtic park proved how much of a lion the wee man was I can remember a photo in the paper on the Friday morning jinky had bruised that looked more like a terrible car crash he was in than a game of football I hate athletico madrid to this day because of that game at celtic park I was happy as Larry when they got beat in the final
An Excellent Tribute - First Class. Jimmy Johnstone. A Fantastic player, up there with George Best, Stanley Matthews, Charlie Cooke.... a real pleasure to watch, such a player... I remember 25th May 1967..... Celtic win the European Cup.... What a Grand Player, What a Grand Man...
I am a frog and I love CELTIC and Jimmy was their Lionnel Messi during that time ; CELTIC was among the best teams in the world in the 70's , they were extraordinary with unbelievable supporters who are the best in the world and I always get misty eyes when they all start singing together ! I also love that song paying tribute to Jimmy . CELTIC FOREVER
0:07 He was Born in Viewpark 1944 The Celts were soon knocking upon his door He became the one the fans adore He had ever defender on the floor and he loved the Celtic with all his heart and soul He came from School with his flame red hair A Celt through and through with out a care When he was on the ball the fans would stare At his skill and cheek and his natural flare and he loved the Celtic with all his heart and soul (Chorus) I would sing, wee Jimmy Johnstone on the wing Jimmy Jimmy Johnstone on the ball, in our hearts he was best of all I would sing, wee Jimmy Johnstone lord of the wing Jimmy Jimmy Johnstone we'll not forget, hey Jimmy will we see your likes again. His first game was March 1963 When he played his first game for his favourite team He was proud to wear the hoops of green He was the greatest Celt there's ever been and he love the Celtic with all my heart and soul chorus He drove Jock mad with banter and crack, He never would defend always attack He would beat his man he had the knack Bravery was an actual fact and he loved the Celtic with all his heart and soul chorus

Know what you mean Chris. Up here in the Highlands I am proud to let the Celtic supporters that I am from the same village as the wee genius. I knew him as well so it was a privilege to be in the company of a genius.
Count myself lucky to watch him magic, remember one game can't remember why but big jock substituted him and as he went off he said something to the big man who got out of his seat and tore after him 😅😅
God bless all the lisbon lions rangers will never be champions of europe up the hoops Barry Bhoy I love celtic I had the pleasure of meeting Billy mc Neill and Bertie auld
@LochNessMonster01 You are right, I am not a football expert but I can remember seeing Ronaldo head butt David Beckham in a match and he really threw his rattle out of his pram that day !

Celitic,Jimmy and the Lisbon Lions for ever ever ever
0:07 He was Born in Viewpark 1944
The Celts were soon knocking upon his door
He became the one the fans adore
He had ever defender on the floor
and he loved the Celtic with all his heart and soul
He came from School with his flame red hair
A Celt through and through with out a care
When he was on the ball the fans would stare
At his skill and cheek and his natural flare
and he loved the Celtic with all his heart and soul
(Chorus)
I would sing, wee Jimmy Johnstone on the wing
Jimmy Jimmy Johnstone on the ball, in our hearts he was best of all
I would sing, wee Jimmy Johnstone lord of the wing
Jimmy Jimmy Johnstone we'll not forget, hey Jimmy will we see your likes again.
His first game was March 1963
When he played his first game for his favourite team
He was proud to wear the hoops of green
He was the greatest Celt there's ever been
and he love the Celtic with all my heart and soul
chorus
He drove Jock mad with banter and crack,
He never would defend always attack
He would beat his man he had the knack
Bravery was an actual fact
and he loved the Celtic with all his heart and soul
chorus
LOve this song, well done CATB !
Fantastic song catb !

In my opinion laudrup was better but kinky was still class from a rangers fan
Behave yourself fella jinky was doing things with the ball laudrup could only dream about Jimmy got a standing ovation from the Real Madrid fans all 120k of them he was also ole'd every time he was on the ball he really turned on the style in the santiago bernabue just a cpl of weeks after winning the European cup laudrup never got that from any other clubs support although a great player he was never in jinkys level rip jinky our greatest ever celt gbnf ynwa hh
Brian scored great goals and more direct kind of player but JINKY was unique and the best entertainer of them all.
