Happy Birthday to former Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc, who turns 44 today. Boruc made 221 appearances for Celtic, earning a number of plaudits as well as winning three League titles, two League cups, and one Scottish Cup.
Boruc, who signed from Legia Warsaw in 2005, was nicknamed the ‘Holy Goalie’ by supporters due to the fact he blessed himself before he entered the goal, which obviously upset Rangers supporters for some unapparent reason. The signing also produced on of the best football unveiling photos from the noughties with Gordon Strachan standing beside the player.
Today is the birthday of Artur Boruc.
Which reminds us of one of the greatest photos in football history.
