My father is buried about 2 mins away from Jinky. Whenever I go to visit my da I give Jinky a wee visit too. I'm too young to have ever seen him play but as a Celtic fan I have great respect for him. Any video of him I've seen he was amazing.
Jimmy johnstone is a legend and a great man and also good pals with Rangers willie Henderson. I am proud to have raised money through my art for jimmy Johnstone charity and the Davie cooper Centre. As a Rangers fan myself who loves my club. Jimmy was a legend who played for the team he loved. R.i.p Jinky.
I was a massive Leeds Utd fan in their glory years, 65-75, and only ever saw them outclassed once, and that was in the home leg of the European Cup in 1970, against Celtic, and it was mainly down to Jimmy, who was magnificent. Haven't been able to find footage of that home leg, sadly, just the away leg. RIP the great Celtic captain Billy McNeill, who died today. 23/4/19.
if he was Brazilian, Argentinian, or sadly, even English....you would hear about him every day of the week in the media and he would be called the greatest.
Jimmy Johnstone, Dalglish, Bremner, Law, Baxter, Jock Stein, Bill Shankley, Matt Busby and Alex Ferguson, not only the best in Scotland but among the best on the planet.
"Jimmy Johnstone was a phenomenon, he gave us a lesson (a dance) in Glasgow, I chased him about 80 minutes to kill him, but we could not even get close. It made us crazy" Roberto Perfumo (one of the best Argentine defenders ever) about the Intercontinental Cup 1967 between Racing and Celtic.
This was the greatest player I have never seen, the magic, the player that is Jimmy Jounston, I think rangers supporters will agree .,, this was a class act
lucky duck 67 Eusebio said he was the best he played against, 100,000 Real Madrid fans chanting “Ole” every time he got the ball or cut back or beat his man, even Dirty Dirty Leeds couldn’t stop him
Amy Reid. Very true, and Leeds tried to kick him off the pitch, it didn't stop him. The actor Robert Duval who played Tom in the Godfather said "The best player I ever seen was wee Jimmy Johnston"
The name of this program is very "APT", For John Grieg and Sandy Jardine to say such honest and funny things about Jinky tells you everything you need to really know about the real meaning of" THE AULD FIRM " , " SCOTLAND FOREVER" WURZO1968😎 ✌
The only person could play like that and that was wee Jimmy Johnson your presence will never dia r I p Jimmy I have never seen any body play like you and niver will again
Saw Jinky play for the Blades many years ago now, one of his games for us was against a Fulham side including Best & Moore, 13 years old and starstruck..
Played the way Messi does in a game with less rules, tougher players, mud drenched pitches and balls that were twice as heavy and twice heavier than that when it rained
Cool Daddy. I won't argue about that and It's interesting when you compare to Pele, an other all time great Garrincha of Brazil Him and Jimmy played very similar and Garrincha was considered the best by Pele ,That shows you how great Jimmy was .
@@timrobinson100 you obviously never saw him play. Pele called him the greatest. He was greatly admired by Eusebio (best player in Europe in the 60's), Alfredo De Stefano (greatest player of the 50's and part of the Real Madrid team that won five European Cups) only wanted to play his testimonial game against Celtic because of Jimmy Johnstone and Johnstone played everybody off the park. I have seen Pele, Eusebio, Cruyff, Beckenbaur, Best...all in their prime.....Jimmy Johnstone was head and shoulders above them.
The first team that win a european CUP with Eleven players from the same countrie was Benfica,in 1960 61 and 1961 62. Only in 1979 Benfica allowed foreigners players. Celtic proud of a nation.
