    I met your grandfather Tommy burns and Tom boyd before he and Tommy burns passed and all knew my grandfather somehow, your grandfather one the funniest chaps I’ve ever met, still have a signed Celtic view from all them in my loft kept away!! They came up to the lounge got me an iron bru all all 3 got my grandfathers a pint kept 2 in the pumps, was best day my life other than tommy burns nearly breaking my knuckles with his overly firm handshake, actually my grandfathers anniversary to and that’s why I’m on her listening to this song he showed me of you pops days before he himself passed ✝️🫶🏻☘️ God bless! And hail hail to you and our Celtic supporters community and family!! 💚

    As an Englishman I'll quite happily say that it's the celts that produce the footballing geniuses, be it Jimmy Johnston, George Best, Billy Bremner, Dennis Law, Shankly, Busby, Doherty, Ferguson - I'm showing my age - the list could go on and on. Like Best, Johnson was a joy to watch as well as being a true gent.

    I don't cry easily, but listening to this moved me emotionally so much .. looking back down memory lane .. I was honoured to see Jimmy play every week all through the late 60's early 70's .. it seemed as if the ball was attached to his boot by a piece of invisable elastic .. he'd go round a man .. then go back and beat him twice just for the hell of it beacause he could .. what a legend .. a lovely man .. god rest you Jinky .. gone but NEVER forgotten ! !
