And he also knew what the players were earning. I'd take a guess that was about double the wage of an ordinary Glasgow worker of the time. |

Nope - Think he is genuinely geezerbhoy's mate but I know Bobby Peru is a fan. I knew you would mention this Hugh Maxwell - If he could outdowie John Dowie he must have been well and truly rank rotten.

Hugh Maxwell was bad though I do remember shortly after he signed he scored a goal after something like 9 seconds into a game and I was thinking that we'd got ourselves a real star. I was so wrong. But was he worse than John Dowie? Now there's a debate that could run and run. Talking of bad players, does anyone remember Paddy Turner? I seem to recall that we signed him from Morton. He was murder! |

Okay. I have to admit that it's a very close call as to who's the worst Celtic player I've ever seen. Te contenders are the obvious ones already mentioned : Maxwell Dowie Kay and Jimmy Bone The scary thing is thst Jock Stein signed 3 out of the 4 I've mentioned.

Jimmy Bone is an interesting one, all of these are before my time but i have heard them all mentioned on here but i don't remember seeing Jimmy Bone listed as one of the worst, a quick google reveals he got a couple of Scotland Caps (even scoring a goal) at a time when i imagine Caps were not just handed out to anybody the way they are now. Was he passed his best when we signed him or just a really pish player? Also how do these dumplings you have mentioned compare to the more modern diddies like Paul McLaughlin (hi Caltonbhoy ) Wayne Biggins, Jim Melrose, Du Wei, Scott Marshall?I can't imagine them being worse |

He was pish for Celtic. When we signed him I thought it was a shrewd signing along the lines of Harry Hood and Dixie Deans. He was definitely a good player but he was just pish - of the Biggins variety - when I seen him play for us. |

We're being a bit unfair to guys Maxwell, Bone, Kay and Biggins. They were hardly in the place 5 minutes and had no time to make an impression. My old man always maintained that no Celt ever set out to do badly and that had Stein arrived earlier then guys like Jackson, Colrain and Eric Smith might have been on the same level as the Lions. Had Stein came later then Lennox and Jinky would have been spoken in the same tones as Jackson and Colrain. Compare this with someone like Peter Grant. Big Celtic man but very ordinary player who was there for 15 years, manager after manager, and got a testimonial. Ask Jim Brogan (12 years) John Hughes (13 years) Bobby Murdoch (12 years) where were their testimonial games ? Even Jinky and Bobby had to share one together ! |

Bobby Lennox was nearly punted to Falkirk at one point - Jock Stein completely transformed Celtic.

Jimmy Bone was a decent player for Thistle and later went on to play for and manage every team in the world. Hardly got a kick of the ball for Celtic - harsh to lump him with some of the parade of haddies who've worn the hoops. Hugh Maxwell...well, he's been listed on the left as my favourite player for about three years. Nice to see the campaign gathering support..... |

One of the players mentioned allegedly went on to manage and allegedly put four Airdrie players' wages on a horse. |

Auld says that there were four not two World Class players in the Lisbon Lions - Bobby Murdoch,Jimmy Johnstone,Bobby Lennox and Tommy Gemmell. That will do for me. Tommy Gemmell.
