“Within 30 Miles of Celtic Park”: Remembering Celtic’s Lisbon Lions’ European Cup Triumph
In 1967, Celtic FC shocked the world as they became the first British team to make the European Cup final, and in doing so, the first British team to win the European Cup (Champions League). This historic achievement was made all the more impressive when you account for the fact that every single player on that squad was born within 30 miles of Celtic Park (Parkhead). A truly local team. A team of Glaswegians on top of the football world. This video remembers Jock Stein, Celtic, and the Lisbon Lions.

Rabona TV as a suggestion do how good was that player you could do past and present players you could say for example how good was David beckham you could say his stats what he won he role etc.

When Di Stefano was giving his testimonial from Real Madrid he request to play Celtic and Celtic beat them easily in the Bernabou and Di Stefano said after the game he requested Celtic because he loved the club and what it stood for and he wanted to play against Jinky Johnstone because in his words he was the greatest winger he had ever seen.
There's a great quote in Jinky's video where he talks about some post-match socialising and refers to " me, Stef n' the Puskas " ! Class
Why you lying?

@@kirkydan hahahahah that's such an unreliable source
mon the hoops
The most iconic photograph in British football is the image of King Billy McNeil, on the balcony in Lisbon, holding aloft the European Cup. It is truly magnificent and will never be equalled.
@Uncle Gilbert or are just so arrogant they refuse to even recognise anyone eles? Pathetic.
I was 14 years old and remember watching this European Cup Final on a beautiful sunny Thursday evening with the Kick-Off at 5.30.pm. on a Black and White television, I had been to every game in this European Cup run at Celtic Park. It is now 53 years ago and I remember it as if it was only yesterday. Glasgow Celtic F. C,'s biggest achievement. For many Celtic Supporters, this will be in their memory until the day we die.
As a life long Rangers supporter I agree that Celtics 1967 feat was incredible and will never again be equalled by players from one country never mind within a 30 mile radius.
yonniboy1 respect
Repect Sir.
@@leroyoneill1929 I thank you but I'm simply stating the truth.
Well said yonniboy im a celtic fan sons rangers but he would never say that lol
@@yonniboy1 Takes a big man to say that...hope life is good to you and yours.
What the Bhoys done in Lisbon that evening will never be equalled, Celtic you are so special, a club like no other, c'mon the hoops, YNWA ☘☘☘
Hail Hail brother. COYBIG 🍀
It’s already been beaten
. In terms of a team comprised entirely of homegrown players coming from within 30 miles of their clubs stadium, winning ever single competition entered in a season , it is a unique achievement that has never been equalled or surpassed by anyone. So you're absolutely 100% wrong to suggest it has. Look it up if you want.
@@davidmclellan9872 Rangers FC. " Ready " to rely on others.
Will never be equalled ☘☘☘
as a Celtic fan i would like to say thank you for this video, it is a masterpiece.
Brilliant!
Adrian knows that real respects real.
Fabulous tribute...I was born 5 miles from Celtic Park
Not only the players’ origin/proximity to Celtic Park, but the names......... all Scottish Clan names with their clan’s own tartan!
Absolutely amazing!!!
When European football was proper football. Greatest side ever, greatest manager ever
This achievement will never be eclipsed! The lions won a quadruple in 1967 and reached a semi final European cup the next year. Back in that time some of the greatest players of all time played and Europe was dominated by Italians and Spanish teams mainly. Celtic is a club for all. This should be a film 🏆
To be accurate - Celtic reached the semi final of the European Cup Winners Cup (v Liverpool) in 1965/1966 season, not the European Cup, having won the Scottish Cup the previous season.
I'm english and remember it well, agree it was the most remarkable team achievement ever. Big Bertie Auld fan.
And I was in Lisbon that day, sitting level with the 18-yard line when TG blasted in the equaliser! A great, great never-to-be-forgotten day in our club's glorious history. Well done, my friend. A fine tribute. 🇮🇪
It might seem irrelevant but it's worth mentioning that at the time the Scottish League was ranked the third strongest in Europe. Even teams like Kilmarnock and Dundee were in European finals and semi finals. It shows just how incredible they were over the course of the season competing in 5 competitions in one of the best leagues in Europe.
Both European finals were contested by Scottish teams, Rangers played in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final in May 1967 - losing to Bayern Munich
@Uncle Gilbert 1966-67 Fairs Cup semi final. It was the same edition that Dundee United beat Barcelona home and away and Dunfermline lost out on away goals to eventual winners Dinamo Zagreb.
@Pollywog Yeah Scottish football was a powerhouse back then although I wouldn't say it put Real Madrid to shame because they were competing in European Cup semis but yes Ajax and Liverpool probably weren't as strong as some of those Scottish clubs at the time.
The season Celtic won it Rangers got to the Cup Winners Cup Final and Kilmarnock made it to semi finals of The Fairs Cup (later became the UEFA cup). A decent effort from the Scottish teams in 1967.
The Celtic team proved anything is possible and that miracles can happen and they are an inspiration I actually live in the same town as Bobby Lennox
You’ll be in Saltcoats then Declan 🍀☺️
As a huge Celtic fan there is no new information here but this is a concise, respectful homage which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.
My father went to school with one of the players on this team, Bobby Murdoch. He said he was smoking cigarettes and barely training until he was 16 or so.
I can’t ask him anymore cuz he was born in 1944 like Bobby - also like Bobby, is no longer alive. YNWA from southern Ontario. Mon the hoops.
Monk Killedababy bobby murdoch is my uncle
Yer Da You just fucking with me lol? Cuz that’s wild if so. Small world, my dad went to highschool with him near Glasgow.
St columbkilles
Sorry for your loss
Will never be repeated. Truly unbelievable 💚🍀 I wish young Scottish talent would stop going to waste by giving up football and becoming drunks and gear fiends.
A story you missed out that is class. While lined up in the tunnel waiting to enter the stadium Bertie Auld started singing the Celtic song and all the bhoys joined in.
Bertie said when he looked at the inter players faces he knew that Celtic were going to win the game
Unbelievable story.
Hail hail 🇮🇪 god bless Glasgow Celtic 🍀
I believe the half time talk from Jock Stein was not about tactics. He merely said to Billy McNeill "when you lift it, lift it high to show them all what you have done"
Well said. The local core team is what made the historic football so memorable and so pure. Those were the days when local lads could dream on to become the champions of Europe or a country.
Fills me with pride watch this!! Also the only British team ever to win a Quadruple. Hail Hail 🍀🍀
@Uncle Gilbert another pathetic comment?
Stevie Chalmers came from my area the garngad just the same as another famous Celt from 30 years before Stevie the legendary Jimmy mcgrory top goalscorer in the UK with 550 goals hail hail 🍀🇮🇪
The irony being a Rangers daft doctor saved Stevie Chalmers live via pioneering medical procedure. Stevie remained freinds with him and wrote him a beautifully worded letter of thanks and gratitude for saving his life. In it he wrote " my success, is your success. Sincerely, Steven Chalmers. " What an absolute gentleman HH 🍀.
Excellent Adrian...beautiful photographs of the legendary Glasgow Celtic Lisbon Lions...all things considered it is definitely the greatest achievement in World Football History!
@@ianmacfarlane1241 Alrite Mac...patiently waiting on our history making Double 9 and laughing my green and white socks off at the truly desperate rangers international and their adorable followers!
@@torquemada3273 They've no shame, (though admittedly there's a fair percentage of them who haven't made an arse of themselves over this) given the circumstances.
I've not been on Celtic TV since this all blew up - can't blame them for trying to get content out, but it's not for me.
I've not been on this channel for a long time, (not subbed to it - forgot it existed) but this video popped up in my recommendations.
So, how's life treating you? Family okay? What about work?
Fuck knows how they're going to sort this mess out - at least Celtic have kept a very dignified silence over it🍀HH
It's like Andorra or something (or some 30 mile country) winning the Euros 😂. Its maybe even more incredible than that because Celtic's competitors were assembled from the best all over the world. Don't understand it at all but its by far the most mind blowing achievement in football in my opinion.
As much as I still love it, it does put football in the modern day into perspective. Multimillion pound businesses doing what they should, when they win a trophy.
The players should represent the supporters and in the case of the '67 final the players were just supporters.
It most certainly is the greatest achievement in world football. No one ever dreamed that a tiny club like Celtic could win the European Cup and it never happened again. An absolute freak result.
The next celtic match after Billy McNeil passed away last year was special,
1-0, scored by the number 5 on the 67th minute 🙌
Big Jozo!
Fitting Tribute for the Big Man Hail Hail 🇮🇪🇮🇪☘
@laughinggravy2 aye, that rings a bell...
@laughinggravy2 Jozo's squad number is 5 regardless
@laughinggravy2 na, just watched it back, they wore black armbands with 5 on them and I think they mibbe done it on the shorts for a cup final? That rings a bell.
Hail Hail was 14 years old in Glasgow god Bless the Lisbon lions Amen
I have met Billy McNeil and Tommy Gemmell both great men and down to earth
Great video and an incredible achievement. I wish stuff like this was still possible in contemporary football. Another incredible achievements that come to mind are Red Star Belgrade European championship, Boavista winning Liga NOS, and more recently Leicester winning the Premier League. Oh, and Bryan Clough's career. That was pretty amazing.
In the heat of lisbon☘️🏴🇮🇪
Hail hail the Celts are here🍀
I wouldn't say it was a miracle this team wher not a one off team,, 2 European Cup finals in 3 years plus a few semi finals
Thanks Adrian, not much content outside of scotland is made about celtic, brilliant video. Thank you 🍀🇮🇪
God bless the Celtic 🍀
This will never be replicated again. Hail Hail from Ireland .
Brilliant video. A really good round up of that infamous night. A fear that will never be repeated (in terms of players born within the proximity of the stadium). But this Celtic team, it was something else, even beat Madrid 2 weeks later at the Bernebau, so we really were the kings of Europe given their dominance up to that point 🍀💚
Granda Pat travelled was one of the lucky few to go to Lisbon, said he desperately tried to get a bit of turf home with him but it was like digging up concrete 😂
Great presentation of circumstances around the winning of what a lot of fans consider the pinnacle of club football. A team enshrined in Celtic history, and a story in world football never to be repeated.
Fairytale - Hail Hail. Thanks for the memories
Love this video I'm a celtic fan and I want to thank you for making this video and showing what a great club celtic is
Funny how times change with footballers, when I was around 8-9 I lived in Saltcoats with my dad on weekends and he’d take me for a cone every Saturday, and without fail, every time we’d bump into Bobby Lennox, he was just in tapping away to people and getting his newspapers, when my dad told me he was a champion league/former international I was simply blowing away tbh, the fact he was so humble and just normal tbh, can’t imagine bumping into a superb footballer in a newsagents getting a cone again tbh lol
Greatest club team in the past century the libson lions 🍀🍀🍀 R.I.P CESAR
I watched it on black/white TV aged 16 in Edinburgh and felt very proud.
What an achievement by a UK club.
It's amazing how Celtic suddenly become a British or UK club when they talk about 1967 but any other time they hate Britain and claim to be Irish.
A domestic treble (plus Glasgow Cup) and the European Cup... definitely one of the most impressive seasons from any team in history, not getting replicated any time soon. And forget about all players being from a 30 mile radius, that is literally impossible in today's connected world
@Uncle Gilbert seriously, it proved we could beat anyone but then England came in with their TV money, they bought success, never won it. Celtic beat everyone when we were equal
In 2014 I went to Champions League final in Lisbon and at the time these guys where there to see the game and visiting town. I saw them and was one meter away from their trophy
When the European Cup was the true elite and every team was their countries current Champions. Of course it was opened up to create more matches and more... revenue. This Celtic side will never be forgotten. Just look at that trophy haul!
@Uncle Gilbert they should be excluded because it is grossly unfair how money buys success. Its football, not a board meeting that should determine football success
Beautiful!! 🍀 mon the hoops. Here we goooooo for 10 in a roooooow 💪🏻
Lovely a video on the greatest celtic side ever as the current side matches nine in a row HH
Thought of you while making this!
@@RabonaTV thanks man have enjoyed watching your videos these past couple of years seeing you grow has been fantastic here's to hitting 500k soon
How in present circumstances can somebody find pettiness within then to dislike this video.
..it’s obviously rangers fans disliking it buddy ..fk them
Talk about the 5 violins of sporting clube de Portugal is a amazing history
Great video. That team were unreal! Legends 🍀
Love you, Adrian. I need this today, reminded me of my dad in a good way. You’re the best.
They should make a football movie out of this
Great idea ..! 👍
@@santoy1000 Thought that a movie written by the great Peter Mullan was in production a while back and also a movie about the bhoy from Tamlaghduff.
Columba O'Rahilly didn’t know that buddy ..that’s unfortunate, I’m sure peter would have done them proud !
Incredible club, biggest team in Scotland. Love from an Evertonian
Oh god what memories this brings back. Thankyou for this.
Great video Dad! Keeep up the great content in these tough times!!
Great video from a non biased view 🙌
This is why I love my club
Gotta love Celtic 🍀💚
Brilliant, Glasgow’s Green and White!
Fantastic video my friend I just bairly kept up with all the wonderful facts you so eloquently described you have done celtic proud all the more amazing and refreshing coming from an American, hats off to you sir HAIL Hail
amazing video adrian! really love this!! hope your staying safe.
There are 2 Lisbon lions, Sporting and Celtic 💚
Thank you for the great vid 😃👍
Brilliant. Thanks for this.👍😃
Great video Adrian, would you ever do a video on World Cup history? Like the best teams to never win a world cup?
Easy: most netherlands teams, mighty magyars and maybe a few others. But already mentioned like 4 teams just there
C. O. Y. B. I. G 🍀
GLASGOW’S GREEN AND WHITE 🍀🍀🍀
What an awesome video as always Adrian
Brilliant story Ade, loved that vid there they were some team especially little Jimmy Johnstone ..!
What a club ..GLASGOW CELTIC
Excellent video , great job Adrian. FYI Lisbon Lion Jim Craig lives near where I live. I often see him at the local post office etc. I have chatted to him a few times,he's a very amiable, and approachable gentleman. I feel very lucky to have a Celtic FC football legend as a neighbour and such a genuinely down to earth and charming one at that. Hail Hail COYBIG 🍀
Pub quiz question - which Lisbon Lion signed for Celtic as an amateur, by necessity ?
The Lisbon Lions: One of the truly great teams to have ever played the game.
Amazing video, enjoyed every moment of it hail hail
Glad to see you got into the Celtic spirit ....It was an amazing moment to savour as a 14-year -old in Glasgow ...Hail,Hail!!!
Great video about a truly great Celtic team.
Legends never die 🍀
Great job on this video!
Great video 🏴🍀
Appreciate it!
I've sang in Paradise 🍀Hail Hail 67🍀 nothing comes close to Celtic Family
Unbelievable achievement
Love the vid mon the Celtic 🍀
Fantastic video, well done👍🏻🍀
a remarkable accomplishment!
hell of a video mate x
My family grew up in view park and my great grandad used to walk home from the pub with jinky. Heard a few stories about him getting too drunk and having to help him home 😂
Hail hail 🍀🍀🍀
Love it,tnx
Do a story about Boavistas tittle win in liga nos
or one about their run to the uefa cup semi final in 2003 :D
Sinéad N yep ..only to be beating by Henrik and the MIGHTY GLASGOW CELTIC !!🍀
Why?
I like the idea of you doing history based video with no current football to talk about right now.
Superb account which underwrites the Lions legend. Very moving to hear an outsider's analysis. Insightful. Accurate. Brilliant
The kind words are appreciated Andrew, truly!
You could do in-depth stories on Busby’s time at United (from the Busby Babes to te Munich Air Disaster to the European Cup and eventual decline), Helenio Herrera’s managerial career, Eusebio’s Benfica and Roy Hodgson’s career (under appreciated in England)
Mon the hoops
They had nothing but passion for the game. Kicked balls off of walls. No playstations. Saw them in 1968. They were the harlem globe trotters of football.
Great video, hail hail 🍀🍀
My great grandpa was at that game and in one of the photos when the fans got off the plane
Celtic forever 🍀🙌🏆🙌🍀
That team will NEVER be equaled. FIRST British team to conquer Europe. FIRST non-Latin team to conquer Europe. This was done in an era which regarded non-Latin winners as just about impossible. All this done with a team arranged from players within a few miles of the stadium.
