Jim Craig

Sorry, David, I just want to interject what's in my head.

At halftime, did you watch it? And straight away, Jim Craig, all the stuff about the Lions.

They couldn't wait, like literally two minutes, halftime, first thing, Lions.

And I turned it off.

And then obviously when you see the footage back and when Billy Bremner scores what is a stunning goal, I mean, to silence a crowd of that size is incredible.

But yeah, I mean, John and Bobby Mudd scoring the goals, to put us in the final and I'm never quite sure I think to an extent as maybe like a kind of received wisdom or a cliche that that was the final before the final and like Celtic having beaten you know the best team in England and convincingly there was a sense of maybe they thought they'd already won I don't don't necessarily think that was the case but certainly you know for example Jim Craig had always said that and other players said that There maybe was a sense that they'd underestimated Feyenoord, but they all believed that if the game had gone to replay, and we were only about five minutes away from that, we would have won.

Because they would have known what to do in the second game.

But it's all ifs and buts, isn't

I'm joined by Paul Cuddihy.

Paul, of course, throughout the course of the season, we're obviously paying tribute to the season of seasons in Celtic's history, 60 years on from the 66-67 campaign, and the front cover of all the match programs feature someone from, um, that wonderful season, a player, a member of staff, um, and this week's program features Jim Craig.

It focuses on Jim Craig, and he's a man that we both know so well.

Absolutely.

Yeah, I mean, obviously, first and foremost, um, when you're talking as a Celtic supporter, obviously he's part of that, that great team, that squad.

Mm

... stuff for us as well, um, which was great over many, many years.

And he was such a, such an interesting character, Jim Craig, as well because for a lot of the Lisbon Lions and, and the players of that era, you know, football, they were all football.

Our big quiz night, of course, live podcast as well.

We raised a good amount of money for the, uh, Jim Craig statue foundation, uh, too, and it seemed like everybody had a, a really swell time.

So I mean, did you, did you enjoy it, Kieran? Did it live up to the, the years of waiting?

Yeah, I thought it definitely did.

Of course, a lot of money raised as well.

For those who were there, you'll know there was an off- a, a, a r- an, uh, a raffle, an auction, uh, on behalf of raising money for the Jim Craig statue committee to make sure Jim Craig's statue is built and completed, uh, in Govan.

So, thank you to everybody who contributed.

Thank you to everybody who was there.

He's saying, "Just wanted to say last night was class.

It was great meeting you and the guys, uh, and the other members.

Hopefully there's a lot for the Jim Craig statue." Jack, you are a legend, sir.

Thank you for coming.
