It’s one of those obscure football facts which appears more likely to be an urban myth, but when he jogs out onto Celtic Park on Sunday the proof will be there for all to see: Chelsea captain John Terry is a Celtic fan. I’ve heard many wide ranging reasons why people become attached to the club, not everyone was born into it as an accident of paternal heritage, some of us made our own way there.
I know one Ulsterman, from the loyalist tradition, who has lived in Scotland for decades, and, along with his friends, is a Celtic supporter. One season ticket holder told me he started shouting for Celtic as an infant, to tease his Rangers supporting father, but one day the teasing developed into the acquisition of a green jumper, an unusual occurrence in the family home. A bridge had been crossed, soon posters were on the bedroom wall, a Celtic Subbutteo team was bought and after a few years, a Celtic top made its appearance.
There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of great stories like these.
Sunday’s #19 Legenda’ game will be a chance for some of us to reminisce about the days when Pierre, Lubo, Jorge, Bobo, Tommy Boyd, the man himself, Stiliyan Petrov and, of course, the Swede, graced Celtic Park every week. It will be a rare chance to see Martin O’Neill on the on the touchline, perhaps without bouncing up and down. Well done to Carlos Cuellar for pitching up, even if he has to play the inevitable pantomime villain.
Monies raised will go towards Stiliyan’s Foundation and to stock a food bank, which will open in Glasgow this month with the aim of alleviating food poverty. Which takes us back to where we started.
Enjoy your day.

Davie Bhoy will return when we are kings of Europe. Cardiff or Celtic? Nae comparison.
Travellerbhoy/ Delaneys Dunky ,
Not much to do other than stop them re-writing history.
The channel I’ve got there, on it’s last legs. The SPL are killing it off – every video, 8 mins long with 12 seconds of SPL footage. Do they even own that over the BBC?
They have been shutting my channel down step by step as it has been highlighting the cheating.
Re-writing history….
As victors do???

I may have inadvertantly become a moonhowler not good naebody to talk to.
Hullo Mr Moon.
Any fholks out there want to fight against the establishment,
The auld channel I have is being deleted – it was set up purely as a record of what went on recent years – the SPL have done their best to shut it down.
Either we let them re-write history, or at the very least, we present another point of view. Anyone wanting copies of the amateur vijos made, please please let me know.

Oh hello Delaney nice to meet you
Anyone care to put a figure on how much that goal Fortune scored that was struck off during Hun Rescue?

Re write history. The huns favourite tactic
I’m reading back. I missed a word I meant use the word ‘think’ somewhere up there. Know what Ah mean?
David Marshall shall become the prodigal son. When he realises.

…were we looking at the wrong Icelandic ‘sson?? This Tryggvi one scored a hatrick last night in Switzerland….
Desertbhoy
No, we looked at the right Finn. Teemu Pukki will light up Paradise and Europe this season.
Top of the morning to you all from a chilly and rainy Fife.
Good article by Paul on how we are a broad church and the Stiliyan’s Charity and Glasgow food bank will certainly benefit on Sunday.
Bump from last night and thanks again to those who signed the petiton (724 now)

How many signatures are needed to bring it up in parliament?
…………………………
Malone Bhoy it is not a case of how many are needed. It will be considered by the Public Petitions Committee after the gathering of signatures stops on 29 October, then (in principle) the petition is considered on its merits, even though it only has the single signature of the petitioner.
In practice however the more supporters a petitioner has the less easy it is for the politicians to dismiss the petition as being the opinion of one person only. This is what Jim Wallace, MSP did when Justice Minister back in 2003 when a similar petition PE306 was put to the parliament.
During discussion of PE 306 Jim Wallace, said the petition was unique and the petitioner was the only person he knew of with concerns in this regard. He obviously didn’t know Dr Samuel Johnson said this on the subject: “Where secrecy or mystery begins, vice or roguery is not far off.”
Oh, bye the way, Jim Wallace said his proudest moment in office was when presenting Rangers with the Scottish Cup!
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Petition has done well today and is standing at 707.
Hopefully the number have reached or got past the critical mass point and will really take off now.
Thanks to everybody who signed from CQN and please give it a punt to your friends if you think it has merit…………Please!

You’re doing well with that.
I’ve just mailed about fifty CQN ers re the dayooooot at the end of the month.
Wish I had thought to include your petition.
I’ll include it in the next tranche.
(Sounds posh,just means I’ve mislaid lodsa addresses for the moment)
Big Nan
I admire your enthusiasm. However, I cannot see how a petition is going to have any effect in this masonic riddled little country. Hope I am wrong. Good luck.
I was in a home. But the good thing was I could leave when I was 16. So I did the most sensible thing at the time (my mum was dead and my dad was in the jail). I joined the army. My eldest sister Rose tool me shopping for my army stuff. I got everything I needed and was feeling good. Then Rose said let’s go to David Lowe(Dundee). I thought I was getting trainers but she bought me the new celtic tap. Wear it with pride she said. I did I wore it at every non official event. My sister Rose my ma
