It’s now 30 years to the day that Fergus McCann rode into town and saved us from the clutches of the tired and incompetent old board. The shysters who were running our club into the ground thought they were untouchable. Their arrogance led them to believe that they were untouchable, despite the many protestations of the supporters.
That arrogance was quickly destroying our club, but Fergus helped by a few other significant figures backed those shysters into a corner and forced them into handing over the keys to the club.
Wee Fergus was the main man. Yes a few others including the supporters deserve great credit and recognition for their part in the saving of our club, but the man with the bunnet was the man who made it all happen.
His money saved us from the clutches of the bank, that is a fact. Fergus led us into the modern era and the success we enjoy today is all down to him. He had the wealth, the power, the vision. Everything we have today is in a big part down to him.
He might not have been everyone’s cup of tea, but Fergus deserves nothing but our utmost gratitude for what he done for our football club. His good deeds will never be forgotten.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
The vitriol that was directed towards the Bunnet from the SFA and the Deidco/sevvie minded media was shocking. Go on the Celtic Wiki and see some of the things said, also, McCanns letter to the SFA board.
They tried to chase him out of Scotland. Fergus took them on and won.
Every Celtic supporter should know how close we came to being Celvco. Would we have been allowed to rejoin the league immediately and claim Celtics history including the big cup? We all know the answer to that.
Brilliant and so true
He also help get rid of Jim farry
They should name a stand after Fergus or a statue or we would haved died like the old rangers
