Legend simply doesn’t cover it. The clips don’t even show how good he was. Also the bravest player I’ve ever seen. Shrugged off the dirtiest of fouls, but made no fuss. Got straight up & dribbled round then instead. RIP Wee Man
I've enjoyed listening & watching this youtube video. I'm a Celtic supporter & am from Uddingston, so I liked hearing different parts of the area in this song. My parish was St. John the Baptist. I left Scotland as a young girl, 57 years ago. Lots of relatives that are Celtic supporters.
Was it John Greig he out jumped for that goal? It was Jinky that we visited Parkhead for. Forget about the old Lisbon Lions or young Kenny. My buddies and I may have been exiled in Glasgow for our student years but we adopted The Hoops are our city club. JJ was the business. His legs must have been cast iron. Plenty respect from the Bears. Just look at the thanks that the goal scorers gave the suppliers of that killer. You wont see that on Match of the Day. Great post for a truly great player.
A Manchester City fan here. Growing up in the 1970's I always remember the brilliance of jj, because of him Celtic has always been my team in Scotland. Can't believe he only had around 25 international caps, scandalous. A magnificent footballer
Lucky enough to have seen JJ, Pele, Eusabio, Cruyff and Messi play live...only one real winner....the wee man. George Best? an over rated player simply because he was with Man Utd. Check the stats comparing games when he played and games when he didnt. He made no difference to the team! He was also a lazy player who would stand about for most of the game but skillful when he took part. JJ worked tirelessly for every minute of a game.
What a player - and yet after his football career - He ended up digging drains for a gas company and the pockets of the Celtic FC Athletic Copanh owners and Directors lined their pockets
If that neymar could be bought for£200 million then how much would they have laid out for jinky who was unique any other club would have loved to have him but nope jinky only wanted to play for Glasgow Celtic you can speak about all the greats from yesteryear jinky is right up there as 1 of the best there has ever been we will be blessed if we can get somebody whose half as good as the wee man we will be doing magic I was lucky enough to see jinky play he left defenders bamboozled he also left me bamboozled the skill he had was just unbelievable the headed goals he scored for a small guy was extraordinary he may not be with us anymore but by Christ he left us some fabulous memories RIP Jinky sleep tight wee man ynwa hh
The best European player ever...only Pele would match him. Watch his speed, the way he just goes through defenders, the way he bamboozles them....Ronaldo or Messi cant do those things!

George Best himself thought Jinky was better (as the song suggests)

I agree Robert. Do you notice that there is no kissing of the badge ? the wee man didn't need to, to show his love for Celtic
