John Cushley has been connected with celtic for many many years. His father Ned Cushley was very good friends with big jock. The Cushley family were born and bred in Blantyre and johns father was a scout for Glasgow celtic for many years in the 60s & early 70s. John was a very well educated man and became headmaster @ st brides in East Kilbride after retiring from top level football. John could speak many languages and was asked by martin o,neil to educate the youngsters part time @ celtic park which he did before MND struck and eventually killed both Jinky & John. The Cushley family were great servants to both blantyre celtic juniors , glasgow celtic and to st Joseph,s boys guild in blantyre. I had the privilege recently of working in johns sister,s house in uddingston who showed me many great photos of John in his hay day. A very big powerful many but a very helpfull man in educating many people @ celtic park including on foreign visits. A truly unsung celtic man. Hail hail
:thumbsup: fantastic post.

Blantyre men Cushley and Fallon were Big Jocks secret 'enforcers' in Lisbon, sent out to 'nab the good bench' before the Inter back room team
Forgot to mention cushleys old man was also the janitor of st Joseph,s school . So janitor, coach @ blantyre celtic, scout for glasgow celtic and very heavily involved with the boys guild who @ that time probably had 2or 3 teams @ once. Very active in the local scene as well as scouting for the tic at same time. That's what i call commitment . PS, BIG John fallon was not from blantyre originally but from flemington in cambuslang as was the great John mcDermott MBE ( boxer ) who won the gold medal @ the 1962 empire/ commonwealth games in Perth Australia after being made to undertake a box off behind closed doors in a bus garage in glasgow. Dick Currie ( the great reporter on hearing John had triumphed on a unanimous decision questioned in the DR the next day who was the blind judge ? . John also trained Pat Clinton ( croy ) to become flyweight champion of the world @ the kelvin hall. Both men are very very much considered Blantyre Men and what an honour ( for Blantyre ) of having all sportsmen in this discussion considered one of our own home talent. HAIL HAIL.

Before my time as he went to West Ham at the end of 66/67 - By accounts big strong* Centre Half and back up to Cesar - As lubomirmoravcik will tell us the Deid Bastards had a Centre Forward called Jim Forrest who was a good player and Big Billy couldn't handle him but John Cushley would have Forrest in his back pocket.

Sadly John Cushley died relatively young of MND but after football he was always helping out around Celtic Park and at one time he was the Education Officer - He was an educated guy and at the same time as helping Celtic he had a successful teaching career as a few of the Bhoys on here can testify.




* Strong as in built like the proverbial brick shampoo house and thighs like Gerd Muller and Stuart Pearce combined.

Don't think he was ever headmaster at St. Brides. He certainly taught there when I was there but he left to teach at St Ambrose in Coatbridge. I think he was deputy head there.

I was under the impression listening to the older tims in blantyre he was head but would go with you on this point. Wasn't Bob Crampsey head @ St Ambrose High ?.

I used to drink in The Commercial, sure there was a photo of John McDermott and Walter McGowan on the wall.

I met and spoke with John last year when he was coaching my son at Blantyre Boxing Club, an absolute star of a man, gentleman and extremely committed to the kids and Blantyre. :thumbsup:

That's right I'd forgotten about Bob Crampsey. I think the heidy had the title of Rector in those days. ;)

This thread is great for blowing away cobwebs from the grey matter.

Think Lex Baiilie was in goals from the 1st half of that game. Sure Scott Nessbit broke Alan Rough's jaw in the first half.
Correct. I can confirm its Lex Baillie. Rough was taken off with a horrendous head injury in the 27th minute, caused by Nesbit who was duely red carded for the incident. Game took place end of August 1988 Celtic won.
