First off, apologies for the grainy quality of this picture. This is a photo of my grandfather (on the left) with Ronnie Simpson. Taken in Catterick during their National Service in the late 1940s.

Always remember watching a world cup game from Rome in 1976 between Italy and England. Causio, Bettega and Antognoni ripped the English apart but Italy had Gentile and a guy called Romeo Bennetti who made Greig and Forsyth from the deid huns look like choirboys. They were assassins. Maybe Boretim was there that day. |

Yep. He seems to have started playing during the War, into the army in the late 40s and then went back into football in 1950. |

That is one incredible CV all right, What would his father have thought of him playing for the Celts? There is a movie to be made based on those nine lines. |

the last post by st.Anthony surely proves what a broad church Celtic FC was and is, you couldn't imagine a similar situation happening at the former deadco. Imagine it is the mid sixties and the son of a former Celtic great arrives at ibrox to sign for them, he would have been met by a lynch mob. |
