Law was a stunning footballer and Scotland regular, whilst Jinky needs no introduction. Law won the Ballon d’Or award in 1964, the only Scottish player ever to do so. Meanwhile, Johnstone came third in the 1967 Ballon d’Or and was nominated many times.

Hailing from an Irish background, I grew up on the English south coast with the good fortune to begin watching Celtic during the Martin O'Neill era.
