I was a massive Leeds Utd fan in their glory years, 65-75, and only ever saw them outclassed once, and that was in the home leg of the European Cup in 1970, against Celtic, and it was mainly down to Jimmy, who was magnificent. Haven't been able to find footage of that home leg, sadly, just the away leg. RIP the great Celtic captain Billy McNeill, who died today. 23/4/19.
My father is buried about 2 mins away from Jinky. Whenever I go to visit my da I give Jinky a wee visit too. I'm too young to have ever seen him play but as a Celtic fan I have great respect for him. Any video of him I've seen he was amazing.
Jimmy johnstone is a legend and a great man and also good pals with Rangers willie Henderson. I am proud to have raised money through my art for jimmy Johnstone charity and the Davie cooper Centre. As a Rangers fan myself who loves my club. Jimmy was a legend who played for the team he loved. R.i.p Jinky.
"Jimmy Johnstone was a phenomenon, he gave us a lesson (a dance) in Glasgow, I chased him about 80 minutes to kill him, but we could not even get close. It made us crazy" Roberto Perfumo (one of the best Argentine defenders ever) about the Intercontinental Cup 1967 between Racing and Celtic.
Played the way Messi does in a game with less rules, tougher players, mud drenched pitches and balls that were twice as heavy and twice heavier than that when it rained
lucky duck 67 Eusebio said he was the best he played against, 100,000 Real Madrid fans chanting “Ole” every time he got the ball or cut back or beat his man, even Dirty Dirty Leeds couldn’t stop him
Amy Reid. Very true, and Leeds tried to kick him off the pitch, it didn't stop him. The actor Robert Duval who played Tom in the Godfather said "The best player I ever seen was wee Jimmy Johnston"
if he was Brazilian, Argentinian, or sadly, even English....you would hear about him every day of the week in the media and he would be called the greatest.
Jimmy Johnstone, Dalglish, Bremner, Law, Baxter, Jock Stein, Bill Shankley, Matt Busby and Alex Ferguson, not only the best in Scotland but among the best on the planet.
This was the greatest player I have never seen, the magic, the player that is Jimmy Jounston, I think rangers supporters will agree .,, this was a class act
The name of this program is very "APT", For John Grieg and Sandy Jardine to say such honest and funny things about Jinky tells you everything you need to really know about the real meaning of" THE AULD FIRM " , " SCOTLAND FOREVER" WURZO1968😎 ✌
Saw Jinky play for the Blades many years ago now, one of his games for us was against a Fulham side including Best & Moore, 13 years old and starstruck..
The only person could play like that and that was wee Jimmy Johnson your presence will never dia r I p Jimmy I have never seen any body play like you and niver will again
Cool Daddy. I won't argue about that and It's interesting when you compare to Pele, an other all time great Garrincha of Brazil Him and Jimmy played very similar and Garrincha was considered the best by Pele ,That shows you how great Jimmy was .
@@timrobinson100 you obviously never saw him play. Pele called him the greatest. He was greatly admired by Eusebio (best player in Europe in the 60's), Alfredo De Stefano (greatest player of the 50's and part of the Real Madrid team that won five European Cups) only wanted to play his testimonial game against Celtic because of Jimmy Johnstone and Johnstone played everybody off the park. I have seen Pele, Eusebio, Cruyff, Beckenbaur, Best...all in their prime.....Jimmy Johnstone was head and shoulders above them.
The first team that win a european CUP with Eleven players from the same countrie was Benfica,in 1960 61 and 1961 62. Only in 1979 Benfica allowed foreigners players. Celtic proud of a nation.

I'm a bluenose, but this wonderful wee beautiful footballer was my favourite footballer. What a gift, Lord bless you dear Jimmy, you are loved. ❤️
Total gentleman 👏

When eusebio compliments you , you have done something right. Legend
True heroes of the people.

Robert Duvall is someone I did not expect to see in this
Played the way Messi does in a game with less rules, tougher players, mud drenched pitches and balls that were twice as heavy and twice heavier than that when it rained
Can you imagine if this guy was playing today? He'd be priceless ,he is up there with Pele ,Best ,Charlton, Maradonna and Zico etc

Amy Reid Put Terry Cooper on his arse without even touching him ...just turned him inside out and dazzled him to the floor 😉👍🏼
One of the best wingers and dribblers of all time... the wee man was above world class... he is in the very elite as far as skill and talent goes.
if he was Brazilian, Argentinian, or sadly, even English....you would hear about him every day of the week in the media and he would be called the greatest.

RIP Billy, Hail Cesar! Go an join Jimmy, Ronnie, Tommy, Bobby, Sean, Neil and Jock.

The best thing about this era was that these teams,respected,socialised and were friends with each other..
Saw Jinky play for the Blades many years ago now, one of his games for us was against a Fulham side including Best & Moore, 13 years old and starstruck..
What a tremendous player jimmy was!He was an amazing dribbler& a gr8 character.
Foram campeões.....em cima da inter de Milão..grandes momentos Celtic e seus craques...
The greatest player Britain has ever produced 🏴🇮🇪🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Jimmy and Charlie Cooke God be with the days... what dribbling was all about !!! Herb Chelsea..
Don't forget Willie Johnston, Rangers and West Brom of the same era
The only person could play like that and that was wee Jimmy Johnson your presence will never dia r I p Jimmy I have never seen any body play like you and niver will again
My sister in law worked for him after he retired, he had a small insurance business. Can you imagine Ronaldo having to do that.
Imagine putting a price on Jinky these days? Fck me, Neymar prices!!
Hail Hail 🖐️🙌😁✋🇮🇳👌
What achievement what a team
just look at the footage, he was a magician
This is why Kevin Sinfield does his amazing runs for the MND cause.We must find a cure one day for this awful disease.
The second greatest player ever, after Pelé.
Cool Daddy. I won't argue about that and It's interesting when you compare to Pele, an other all time great Garrincha of Brazil Him and Jimmy played very similar and Garrincha was considered the best by Pele ,That shows you how great Jimmy was .
not quite [ maybe top 500
well after [
Great player was Jimmy but you're getting a wee bit over excited there !
@@timrobinson100 you obviously never saw him play. Pele called him the greatest.

Why is t he more revered around the UK? English ignorance, perhaps? He was just as good as Best.
Unfortunately that was the time when the Scots teams bred out indiviality nae room for wee guys who played there own way

Wasn't Eusebio from Mozambique ? OK - a Portuguese colony in Africa, but not mainland Portugal.
Who is narrating? I recognise the voice I just for the life of me can’t remember his name!!
Sounds like billy connelly
@@stephenowen6862 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Johnstone:_Lord_of_the_Wing
A dreadful affliction, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, after the famous baseball player who was similarly stricken.
Is THAT what lou gehrigs disease is? Thanks man I always wondered what that was, it does terrible things to sufferers
