Photo: Celtic Curio’s Leões de Lisboa, 1967 Collage

Earlier today we showed you the wonderful Centenary season collage from Celtic Curio and we promised to show you a few more examples, so next up is the Lisbon Lions. Have a look at this, absolutely sensational!

While plenty has been written and said about just how incredible an achievement Lisbon was for Jock Stein’s side  on 25 May 1967 no-one is ever going to get tired of hearing the likes of Bertie Auld telling us the story about starting ‘Sure it’s a Grand Old Team to Play For,” in the Tunnel  as the teams waited to go out for the 1967 European Cup Final – and much to the bemusement of the Inter Milan superstars.

Once you’ve marvelled at Celtic Curio’s Collage you can have a look at some of these Lisbon photographs…
