The central figure of championship of Celtic:Jimmy Johnston

Do you know a player called Jimmy Johnston registered at Celtic? Celtic is a player picked by the greatest player in an online vote of Celtic supporter in history in September, 2002. Johnston was born in the south of Scotland Glasgow in 1944.

It was fine in 1961 and became a player of Celtic afterwards. I came to distinguish myself rapidly after director John 'Jock' Stein took office in 1965, and Celtic carried out league championship in succession really by Johnston for nine years from 66 to 74.

Johnston left many splendid plays to us, but the reason why he is proud of overwhelming popularity is that I participated actively by Rangers round of the rival in particular. Johnston in total participated in a match of 515 games and put up 129 scores with the number of the goals. I played in some clubs after having been dismissed from Celtic in 75, but it may be said that unfortunately the Celtic times were the golden age for him.

Of course Johnston was excellent as a player, but original humor was personality to overflow, and it was loved in much Celtic supporter after having retired itself. For exercise nervous system disorder, Johnston took down a curtain for the life in March, 06.

Celtic won in the CIS cup finals in March of the year. By the championship ceremony, the player of all the members of Celtic kept uniform number 7 of Johnston, and it was conferred a cup. It is an episode to understand how long he was loved by players.
