Not sure how Fergus managed to keep a straight face there – “don’t spend £10m on a £5m player”.
Heh heh – wee dig at the old £5/£10 quote?
=========================================
It was.
Comic genius from the Bunnet. And looking slick, and shown as rightly vindicated in everything he did to save Celtic and rage against the establishment’s bigoted ways.
Somewhere, that charlatan Murray will be watchin’, thumpin’ his stumps in fury.

Spotted a weakness – around the 45 minute mark in each of their games so far the ref has blown a couple of shrill whistles and those arrogant superstars have stopped running about and walked off towards the tunnel.

It was just after five o’clock on the afternoon of 25 May 1967.The Celtic and Inter Milan sides were waiting in the tunnel of the National Stadium in Lisbon before going out onto the pitch.The National Stadium was more like an amphitheatre than a football ground;it was built in a natural hollow and presented a picturesque sight for those who had the inclination to appreciate it.No-one in the ground that day felt much like admiring the scenery.Because of its singular construction,the tunnel at the National Stadium was not a tunnel as such.The players actually lined up in the open air underneath the stadium and would then make their way out onto one end of the pitch.
The Italians were doing their best to psyche out their opponents.They had been here in this situation before,they had won the trophy twice,and they did not expect to come away empty-handed.It was the sort of clash which,on paper,made David and Goliath seem like a pretty even contest.The Celtic side were on a basic wage of £40 a week,and the Italians were earning between £500 and £600 a week.The total annual wage bill for the entire Celtic staff – players,ground staff and directors – was £28,000.That wouldn’t have paid the wages of even one of the Italian players.
The Italians were starting to get to the Celtic players,or at least some of them.
“We’re out there in the fresh air,and the Italians are standing there like gods,” remembers Jim Craig.”Their black and blue,vertical-striped shirts made them look taller,whereas our green and white hoops made you look squat.They’ve been massaged and toned up,and they’re gleaming with oil.They’re looking dead ahead and,basically,treating us with contempt.Then I looked up and down our lot,and there’s Ronnie up at the front with no teeth and a receding hairline and everybody else’s teeth in his bunnet,and wee Bertie’s standing there bow-legged,and there’s Jinky grabbing his jersey and shouting to Facchetti: ‘Hey big man,you and me after the game,swap jerseys,okay?’They must have thought we were mad.”
Craig himself admits to being extremely nervous before the game,and there were others,too,who were stricken with butterflies,including Johnstone,Celtic’s potential match-winner.
“I remember sitting before the game,and wee Jinky was really worried,” Bobby Lennox recalls.”He was saying,’They’ve got Facchetti and they’ve got this one and that one.’And I said to him,’But we’ve got you,and we’ve got big Billy and Murdoch.’I felt quite confident,I really did.I’m maybe confident by nature,but I thought we could beat most people.I had put my teeth in Faither’s bunnet because I thought we were going to win the European Cup,and I wasn’t going to have my picture taken without my teeth in.That was the only time I did that.”
