The Celtic Star founder and editor David Faulds has edited numerous Celtic books over the past decade or so including several from Lisbon Lions, Willie Wallace, Tommy Gemmell and Jim Craig. Earliest Celtic memories include a win over East Fife at Celtic Park and the 4-1 League Cup loss to Partick Thistle as a 6 year old. Best game? Easy 4-2, 1979 when Ten Men Won the League.

Brilliant, thanks for sharing. The three pictures of that wonderful day that mean so much to me, is….
Bertie Auld running side by side with Armando Picchi, the Inter captain, the clarity of the picture shows the determination and concentration of both players, an action packed picture.
The picture that shows Stevie Chalmers side flick that scores the winning goal, ‘practice makes perfect’.
And of course the iconic picture of Cesar lifting up the European Cup on that elevated plinth. Billy McNeill, Celtics Greek God, captures a football moment in time that has never been equalled. RIP our Lisbon hero’s.
