Today’s photo of the day depicts Jock Stein and Billy McNeill leading the teams out from the dressing room in Lisbon. It is a very rare photograph, which won’t have seen by many people, unless you have read Paul Cuddihy’s 50th Anniversary of Lisbon book. However, one Twitter user has since brought it to light and what a wonderful photograph it is!

It is quite incredible to think that the number of (largely) unseen photos from the 1967 European Cup Final total in the hundreds. If you have any such photographs, it would be fantastic to see them. Feel free to comment on this article across our various platforms and who knows, your image may feature in our photo of the day feature soon.
