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!! 💚

Just a grand wee man all round.. Could definitely play a bit eh?! Sing too, what a man!! Keep your Messi & Ronaldo, give us Jinky every single time.. They couldn't lace his boots!! Love to you & yours from the Celtic family..😊🍀💚
What a Scotsman Jimmy was. He’s like so many aulder guys I knew growin up in Leith. 🏴🏴🏴
I'm a Rangers fan and that gave me goosebumps and really reduced me to tears. I can't even imagine what that would do for a Celtic fan seeing that. He'll always be missed.

“He sings an he sings to evribdy” beautiful statement by the big man. Rest In Peace gentlemen
I'm a Rangers fan and still thought this was amazing. Jinky was something else.
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.
There are not enough superlatives to describe what Jinky meant to us. What an appetite for life. Thanks Jimmy for the memories.
As a Rangers fan,I'd like to say it's a pity there are no more players like him today.

absolutely brilliant, Jinky will always be revered and remembered by the Celtic faithful, i've grown up hearing stories about Jinky, how he could run teams ragged, he may have been small in height but he was a giant with courage and seemless talent, sadly missed by thousands, R.I.P Jinky
8 years today Jimmy... never forgotten.. GBJJ..
I'm Welsh and I appreciated jinky. Great player.
Tears in my eyes watching this... R.I.P wee man god bless you 🍀 In The Heat Of Lisbon 🍀

Jimmy Johnstone #lordofthewing ❤️❤️❤️
As a bluenose ,Iv got so say, He put us to the sword every now and then, Quite simply, whit a man.
Brilliant 😎!!!! From a Rangers fan .
We will remember you #jinky
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 ! !
If jimmy was playing today he would be a BILLLIONAIRE for sure..........hey S.F.A want to get people interested in football? show this man to the world....
God bless the wee man with a big heart
We will love Jimmy forever, always in our hearts
lovely :) and very heartwarming, rip wee jimmy johnstone x

Jinky went to the same school as my mother and twin uncles st Columbia's high school respect.
Love Simple Minds....love Dirty Old Town, and now, I love Jimmy Johnstone. I never heard of him before, but after watching this video I've read about him and understand why he is so sorely missed. Very nice video, and really great arrangement of one of my favorite tunes. Thanks for the vid rosharris!
R.I.P JINKY, Lord Of The Wing
Great tribute Tae yin o the Best JINKY 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Simple minds and the wee man! Fab! xxxx

This was probably my second game and I can still picture standing in Celtic Park where Celtic and United were all mixed in together enjoying watching the end of a genius's career, along with another star in Bobby Lennox. Shame the younger generation just don't get the bond that these 2 clubs used to share!!
Fair play to all the rangers fans in this comment section respecting their rivals teams players 💚💙

R.I.P wee jinky never forgotten :'(
always believed that if jinky was English he still wouldnt have got in the final 11 during the 1966 finals......not because England were stuffed with ball players but simply because Alf wouldnt have known what to do with a real genius.
the best we had and best ever. rangers will never get a player as good as him ever. RIP WEE JINKY miss you and celtic would love to have someone as good as you back at paradise
Never see the likes again 😶 but we’re happy to have had him 🍀
Heard so much about jinky jimmy from my father and uncles and man was such a legend wish I got to see him on the pitch he puts messi and ronaldo to shame rip jinky hail hail

Wee Jinkie was a god when I was growing up in Glasgow.
A lovely man and a simply brilliant football player one of the best these islands have ever produced. Did de Stefano name you man of the match at his testimonial? Real Madrid 0 - Celtic 1. God bless you Jimmy from a Rangers fan.
i might get some shit for this but i am a bass player in a local band here in NZ.i am a englishman who is a arsenal fan and have seen arsenal loads of times and have seen celtic a couple of times at highbury,seen jim kerr at the games at highbury,now my dad is from dublin so we chose to learn dirty old town to do in the band,so also a big u2 fan and pogues fan so for me great song to learn,i have a few tears down my cheek dad would of known jimmy but what a guy he seems to be,awesome
