Jimmy Johnstone vs Inter Milan | European Cup Final | Celtic's Lisbon Lions

Jimmy 'Jinky' Johnstone's performance in the legendary European Cup final of 1967 — by beating Inter Milan Celtic became the first British club to win the European Cup. As it happened in Lisbon, that team became widely known as Lisbon Lions.

“Big Jock always said we’d win,” Jinky recalled last time we met, “but, to be honest, I thought we’d get a right gubbin’. I can see them yet standing alongside us in the tunnel waiting to go out on the pitch: Facchetti, Domenghini, Mazzola, Cappellini, all six-footers wi’ Ambre Solaire suntans, Colgate smiles and slicked-back hair. Each and every wan o’ them looked like yon film star Cesar Romero. They even smelt beautiful.
“And there’s us midgets. Ah’ve got nae teeth, Bobby Lennox has’nae any either, and old Ronnie Simpson‘s got the full monty, nae teeth top and bottom. The Italians are starin’ doon at us and we’re grinnin’ back up at ’em wi’ our great, gumsy grins. We must have looked like something oot o’ the circus.”
