The man is a legend. He needs a statue in all seriousness. He kept our club as one club from 1888 unbroken. Paid the bills, done what he had to do, gave us the stadium we all take for granted. He is a ⭐
I've had the privilege of taking my son to celtic park for 17 years of his life and witnessed some tremendous results and memories that will live forever in our heats none of which would have ever been possible without Mr McCann hopefully 1 day there will be a statue of him at parkhead 🍀🍀 unbroken history HH
A come back to this every couple of years. Great insight into how he done what he done. What an achievement. He will always be the main man in our history. Look what happened to the manky mob. They died we survived and thrived. Fergus a love you pal. A know you get a bad rap but you legacy will last forever. God bless you pal.
Fergus is part of History at Paradise and a Celtic fan was first in line of many to save our Celts. Born and bread in Kilsyth burn green. We salute you Lord Mcann
Total legend, As everyone says a statue should be put up outside paradise, alongside our other legend's, unbelievable what this man did,not only saving the club,but putting in place business plans,that are still successful today..god bless you Fergus
I cannot understand why Celtic football club have not got a stand named after this wonderful man who saved our club. I would even say a statue in honour of him please fans get behind this thought.
What an absolute legend. Can’t overstate the importance of his involvement. You only need to look across the city to see how badly it could have gone. Should have a statue beside Brother Walfrid.
When common sense was needed and someone who could withstand the pressure of the situation and deliver on their promise, in stepped Fergus. He dragged Celtic from mediocrity and gave us back pride in our club. He never backed down from the Scottish football hierarchy and fought Celtic's corner till the day he bowed out. The new generation of fans should be grateful to this gentleman and should be schooled in what he has done for our club
Many many thanks to this wonderful gentleman, he knows what Celtic mean to us, because he feels the same, as he’s one of us, so thanks again.many many blessings.🙏☘️
This man saved Celtic and is much a hero as Jock Stein and Brother Walfrid in my book' He was so right the Stadium had to be rebuilt or we would have had nothing. I would like to see some of the new development have a money making part called "The Bunnet" as a fitting tribute. He will always be remembered by Celtic fans as the man who saved Celtic.
I was lucky as a teen-ager nearly leaving school, When he came. Glorious years were to follow! Wim Jansen! Venglos, Jorge cadetes first game as a sub, And controlling that pass over his head to chip in and send parkhead crazy in the new stand! Seville, Larsson, Burns, Van hooydonk, Di Canio, Johan Mjallby, Weighorst, Geeeez 💦🤤 Stubbs & The Rieper man I could go on and on. But Top of them all was Fergus. Took the club into the future 😊
The Man who saved Celtic was John Keane, The Edinburgh based businessman put up 1.2 Million when the banks were going to foreclose his beloved club. The county Mayo man is the man who saved Celtic. A more accurate description for Fergus McCann is the man who transformed Celtic. Both Mr Keane and Mr McCann are Celtic Legends, only one remains unhailed..
I remember Michael Kelly, going on about how he is perceived aesthetically, would be a major hurdle to him, (maybe not his exact words, but it is what he meant). Kelly might be right in the sense that despite McCann’s achievements, he is not overburdened by cheer leaders. I know that Jock Stein and the Lisbon Lions is probably the biggest source of pride at Celtic. But possible including the afore mentioned, McCann has achieved the most for the club. The Kelly’s were opportunist compared to him.
Can't recall if I've commented here before, but this man stands with the GREATEST CELTS. We have what we have because of him. Every time I see Celtic Park, I think of this man. Did what he said he'd do. Kept his word. Thanks, Fergus. Great Celt.
McCann he rode the winds of change. And the things he,s done will long remain. he done Exactly what he said he would do. a 5 year plan. of which he was our Savior. he got us out of debt. And got us a winning team. and a new stadium. And then he left us in a far better state. if it was not for him we would have died. like Rangers. Hail Hail the bunnet.
This man is the polar opposite from david murray, and thank God for that! Thank you Fergus, you are a massive part of our clubs history and as a matter of fact the father of modern celtic. We are forever grateful for all the very hard work
First time seeing this interview which was good to listen and recall Fergus McCann at that time coming to Scotland and seeing all what he done for Celtic and himself in the process and he done a really great job and wish him all the very best . For me Celtics no 1 fan he is for doing such for the club with his own millions though being business minded he probs knew he was onto a good thing which later proved true as he done very well for the club and himself and then as he said when he arrived i shall stay for 5 yrs not one day before and not one day after when i shall then leave and he did what he said and then flown back to Canada with millions made for himself and getting Celtic a brand new stadium and people in board he Fergus McCann done got guys in who would look after the club and not have such happen which so near did and going bankrupt ..Fergus McCann all Celtic fans salute you take best of care 👍
29/12/2019,,,,3 hours to we play the darkside possibly go 8 points clear and well on our way to 9 in a row, a treble treble,Fergus McCann made it possible, i slated him at the time but he done all he said he would and now look at us, ,,,,,,,,,Glasgow Celtic more than just a football team, thank you Fergus
He is someone the blue half of Glasgow have never had, someone with integrity and foresight . He took a big gamble with his own money and it paid dividends for Celtic as a club and the support. He left a magnificent legacy and Celtic will do well to never forget it.
The saviour of the Celts " The Bunnet " Fergus McCann ridicule by the media and by Huns alike, but he achieved everything he set out to do Celtic are now thriving. Celtic should honour the man with a fitting tribute at Celtic Park we salute you, Fergus McCann
I do not even need to watch this vid, Fergus was way ahead of his time and he did what no one thought was possible. He is up there with Brother Walfrid, Jim McGrory and Jock Stien as far as I am concernerd
i was a kid when fergus bought celtic but i have photos of me standing in the directors box during a tour of parkead and the backdrop out the window was a half built stadium that we have just now and take for granted. Celtic supporters should show this guy more appreciaton, it took time to win things but rome wasnt built in a day.
What a guy ,I wonder if wee Fergus really appreciated at the time what a vicious bitter individual he was talking to.Oh how jabba must wish he had a real man like Fergus dealing with things at the bigotdome...........Karma is real.......btw.
Love him or hate him he will go down in history as THE MAN WHO SAVED GLASGOW CELTIC from bankruptcy in 24 hours! He built a fantastic stadium and the foundations OF WHAT WE HAVE TODAY! And simply the next feasible move for a club of Celtics size is a move to the English leagues! We're too far a big fish in a ever dwindling pond! Wishful thinking I know but if Celtic had to get the revenue of what the English clubs get (And remember Scottish football gets a 10th of what the English leagues get!) we would be a massive,unstoppable force in Europe! We've got a fan base with or larger than your Barcelonas so we've got all of the above but politics stops this from happening,but for how much longer? Scottish football would die on its arse without Celtic or that other mob! But my loyalties lie with Glasgow Celtic and ITS GREATER GOOD!!!🍀
Saved us and our history god bless Fergus for what he did. The club should never forget him and maybe a wee statue to remember him should b at celtic park. God bless u Fergus thanks
I'm embrassed and ashamed of way we treated that MAN AT TIME .. WE NEVER GAVE HIM AS MUCH CREDIT AS HE DESERVED .. WE COULD HAVE WENT WAY THAT MOB DID BUT HE SAVED US AND BUILT US THAT STADIUM AND WON US THAT TITLE WE SO DESPERATELY NEEDED N WANTED TO STOP .. WE SLAGGED HIM FOR HIS BISCUIT TIN MENTALITY AND STUFF BUT HE PUT US IN POSTION WE ARE TODAY EVEN .. HINDSIGHT GREAT THING JUST WISH WE HAD SHOWN HIM MORE RESPECT AT TIME TBH ..
The wee man way the bunnet saved us big time build us the best & biggest stadium in Britain at the time. Is a shame some of our big players at the time turned us against him over contracts despite all he did for us. But time always tells the truth now the man is a Celtic legend & those players that turned us against him nobody's now wee Fergus will always be remembered forever He will never walk alone. Oh & it's cup final day HH COYBIG 💯🍀💚🍀🙏🙏✌️
A lot has been made about erecting a statue in his honour, but listening to him and his modesty around his own importance, I think a simple bronze bunnet at the top of the front steps or somewhere else appropriate would be marvellous.
Lubo was a gift from god but wee Fergus was also a gift from god. He came in and put in his own money and saved us from certain death. He was vilified when the three amigos left and i have to say i was angry as well but this man stuck to his guns and continued with the plan, he knew better than all of us. Our great stadium is a testament to his drive and ambition. He put Celtic back on the map of world football. The fans need to set up a go fund me to honour this man with a statue.
Just shows how much Michael Kelly was a scumbag, Playing on the loyalty of the supporters. Sadly when he stopped the 10 in a row the fans booed him, strangely enough there's no one out there with the balls to put their hand up. Brilliant man
