And Big Billy's was probably the lowest of the low blows ever struck against a legend. Walter White was the instrument of destruction at Celtic over those dark years until McCann took over

Brady was the first Celtic manager to have a contract.
His lowest moment?    0-0 v Kilmarnock  at home,  when Celtic were booed off the pitch both at half and full time.
The ever honest Liam said post match
"We got pelters and we deserved pelters. That's the second league game on the trot that we've played really, really badly."

Hs highest moment? was it this one, V Cologne?  one of those classic comebacks.

Was at that Cologne game.They went into the 2nd leg 2-0 down.If my memory serves me correctly Cologne were at or near the bottom of the league at that time.

I was at the away leg -lost 2-0. Funny thing was we knew they weren't great so the comeback wasn't that big of a shock (for me anyway)

Club Rossa

Yeah they weren't a good side.They had the German keeper Illner and Pierre Littbarski.Cant recall who else they had.

was at that game myself. Was on Jim Mervyns bus from Belfast. Great memories of that night stood in the jungle.

Club Rossa

I was in the Jungle as well,great memories indeed.They were few and far between in those years.

Reduce all you want, but I'd hazard a guess that  Koln were about 10 times more of a formidable challenge  than scraping by  Shakhter Karagandy on a fluke, therefore to come from 2 nil down inthe  home leg  and not concede one was a historic achievement and one in where Collins had a magnificent game. But perhaps you rate Shakhter Karagandy higher.

The Shaktar game generated a helluva lot of more money which us all that matters in soccer "at the end of the day "

Random. The very first Celtic player I could really relate to. Always gave me hope that if it wasn't for my effed up knees I might have made it. Apart from having no talent for soccer.

Jim Mervyn... Christ haven't seen heard that name in years, good family, live next street to me, mad Celtic family
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

He couldn't run and spent most of the time on his arse .  Was decent technically.

If tommy coyne had even average pace he would have been very good.

Jim puts a serious effort into getting transport organised, he is the go to man, I'm sure your da travelled on many of his trips?? Milltown you love the hoops tell the truth, your never off this thread.
