A poignant moment in our history, strangely an image I've always loved and this moment captured in song:


I took a trip to Parkhead,
To the dear old Paradise,
And as the players came out,
Sure the tears fell from my eyes.

For a famous face was missing,
From the green and white brigade,
And they told me Johnny Thomson,
His last game he had played.

Farewell my darling Johnny,
Prince of players we must part,
No more we'll stand and cheer you,
On the slopes of Celtic Park.

Now the fans they all are silent,
As they travel near and far,
No more they'll cheer John Thomson,
Our bright and shining star.



Noticeable there is not a person applauding
I also see a couple of ladies in the enclosure - I think that's the first time I've ever seen ladies in the crowd at a game from that time.

Usually all blokes in flat caps.

And indeed no applause.

Farewell my darling Johnny.

report from thecelticwiki....
A small note tucked away beside the results of Monday's Glasgow Herald is in stark contrast to the way such a momentous event would be treated today. The brief but poignant text is nonetheless effective [See below].
Practically every football match in Scotland on Saturday was prefaced by remarkable and impressive tributes to the memory of John Thomson, the young Celtic and Scotland goalkeeper, who died after being injured in the match with Rangers at Ibrox the previous week. The ceremony at Parkhead was typical. The Celtic team came out first then both teams wearing black arm-bands lined up and stood to attention facing the pavilion while a pipe hand played the "Flowers o' the Forest." The "Last Post" was also sounded. Dead silence reigned, and the crowd uncovered their heads. The ceremony finished with a silver band playing "Lead, Kindly Light." [Scotsman].
The match at Parkead was something of a disappointment, which was hardly surprising given the pervading air of sadness at the passing of a young and popular player. The visitors opened the scoring in 31 minutes through James Crawford and it was not until 15 minutes into the second-half that Charlie Napier equalised from the penalty spot following a foul on Bertie in the box. Then in 70 minutes Crawford beat goalkeeper Falconer a second time to regain the lead for Queen's, but the new bhoy "Jerry" Solis equalised in the 85th minute and the game ended in a draw.

We took to the pitch that day in total silence followed by a piper playing a lament.

Must have been absolutely heartbreaking.
The look on Patsy Gallagher's (dugout) face sums it up
Thats not Patsy Gallagher boss. Not sure who it is rite enuff.
Its not the trainer, that was Willie Quinn.
