@@davyfarrell8195 I thought there was, thought I remember seeing it as a boy on a tour inside Celtic park in the late 70s, i must be wrong. thanks for pointing that out.

The bit “for between your post stands a ghost” gets me every time. RIP

I am listening to this at John Thomson's grave at Bowhill cemetery. He will never be forgotten. RIP John Thomson.

Was sitting tonight watching Chelsea v Man U when my grandad told me of the time his dad told him of a game where the Celtic goalkeeper died on the pitch that he was at. He only remembered the song through his own dad singing it and playing the harmonica to the tune. Thank you for uploading this and for giving my grandad the chance to hear it for the first time in 60 years. ❤️

Celtic fan, My late grandfathers party song, just know your grandad enjoyed it.

Probably one of the greatest Celtic songs Iv ever heard brings pride and tears all at the same time and should be sung with great pride more often 💚🍀😪

My son is john thomson.. love it❤️

Between your posts there stands a ghost, johnny thomson is his name 🎵 amazing lyrics. Way before my time but the stories and songs give you the picture of what and who he was, this is one of my favourite songs I've ever heard, if youd never heard of the story then this song explains everything you need to know 💚🍀

His sister was my teacher in kinglassie primary school, I remember her bringing in his medals and a Scotland cap . We were only kids but you could see how much they meant to her ,and everyone knew who he had been .

A great goalkeeper. Rest in peace John Thompson.

Rest In Peace Prince of Goalkeepers.

At a time when the govan team would not play a Roman Catholic, John a god fearing Protestant was a legend who was loved by the parkhead faithful

McGrandles24 he said he played 7 years of joyless sport and retired at just 30

My grandad seen him play and said he dived to one side and the ball took a deflection and he dived the other side and saved the ball in mid-air. I thought no way, years after I found old newspapers and he was right I read it and that was how the journalist discribed it. R.i.P.

A beautiful song so so sad

Outstanding Liam , from all at the John Thomson C.S.C. see ye soon pal

I think the lyric, “No more we’ll stand and cheer you.” should be changed to, “We’ll always stand and cheer you.” If events had’ve played out differently, Sam English, the best striker and John Thompson the best goalkeeper would’ve had many memorable showdowns. But alas the first of many anticipated clashes ended in tragedy and poor Sam English never psychologically recovered from the accident. RIP Sam and John, two brilliant careers cut short.

Love this song, always reminds me of aunty Mary's house,x

Our best G.K ever

We need a statue of John on celtic way

Love 😍

I live in cardenden wear his grave live I go the when I can

Liams brother was a good goalkeeper at St.Als, St Pats and St Modans
