Jimmy Johnstone

Greatest ever Celtic player


R.I.P. Wee Man

Hail! Hail! Jinky

Jinky was quite simply the greatest.

Much loved by all Celtic supporters.

A true legend of the game.

'Better than Stanley Mathews' - Jock Stein

tragic Day, Reace in Peace wee chap, at least he is with out pain now, didnt deserve any of it.

you will always be remembered, even by the young guys like me, who never had a chance to see him play live.

im very proud of the fact that im from Uddingston myself (200 yards from where he lives, and have had many a pleasure of being in Jimmy's company on numerous occasions in the past few years, he was always the life and soul of where ever he was.

Sad tragic day, thoughts are with his friends and family.

You will always be remembered, legend never dies.

He wasnt only the greatest ever Celt, he was the Greatest Football player ever seen!

Reaced with out pain now.

R.I.P Wee man

The Greatest Ever Celt

You'll never walk alone

Thanks Jimmy

"He played football the glasgow celtic way!"


Was gutted to see this on the news today.

RIP Jinky

God Rest the Wee Man, to have that much ability without any big-headedness shows what a man he was.

Celtic have lost a familly member & a legend.

RIP You'll Never Walk Alone.

BTW  I saw the Sky Sports News coverage from outside Celtic Park, Thank You & well done to the Rangers & Aberdeen fans who added their scarves to the tributes to Jinky.

I second that.  ;applause;

 Jimmy, oh Jimmy Johnstone
 oh Jimmy Johnstones on the wing.

 Heart of a Lion
 R.I.P wee man.

A true legend! Best player to pull on a jersey! RIP Wee Man

Not only a fantastic footballer but was also quite handy in a rowing boat.

R.I.P No 7

A sad day for all members of the Celtic family.

You'll Never Walk Alone Wee Man

Agreed, a superb player respected by all.

rest in peace jinky

i missed seeing jinky live by two years, but when i was wee it was always him i baggsed when playing football.an amazing player and a beautifull person who done everything with a smile on his  face. rest in peace wee man. 0:-)

Just been watching him on the box, knew little of him before today. I see, now, what you mean. Sad loss.

The wee man was a legend and put fear into any player he came up against
He would be so fast and tricky but tough at the same time
If he played today i think he would be more of legend as the tackles he put up with  easily
Would never have been aloud today
I had a great repect for what he done in football and what he had to battle with in his live

God must need another winger to go with Davy Cooper

R.I.P Jinky

And nearly ended Strachans playing career before it begun! 8)

RIP mo chara! 

No more suffering Jimmy, now the Big Yins feathers will be ruffles when God gets to paradise!

We've got Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Johnstone on the Wing
On the Wing
Oh Jimmy, Jimmy Johnstone, Jimmy Johnstone on the Wing!

someone posted this on my website thought it was worth a post

God signs superstar!!

In an amazing piece of buisiness top manager God has swooped to sign Wee Jinky Johnstone to play for his famous Gods eleven. His mentor Jock Stein put God on the trail of the mercurial winger when he signed on as The Lords right hand man in 1985.
Wee Jinky will be joining some old pals in this team of teams , including his 'Lisbon Lions, buddies Ronnie Simpson and Bobby Murdoch. This will be a very happy re-union for all concerned.
God himself is said to be very excited about having the wee man slinging crosses into the middle for Jimmy McGrory, the paradise all time greatest goalscorer."This has the potential to be one of the greatest teams ever"God was quoted as saying,"Jinky with Patsy and Charlie Tully, I canny wait'.
Wee Jinky agrees with The Lord, and is looking forward to pulling on the famous green Halos (as they are known in Heaven), but disagrees with His assumption that it could be the best team ever. "Naw",Sais the wee flea with a glint in his eye."I have already played in that team".

Brilliant

 ;iagree;

one of my earliest recognitions of scottish football was watching jimmy johnstone play.

i was a winger myself as a kid(though seeing me now ud never guess) and i used to marvel at the skill he had.

rip jimmy another legend lostforever.

 respect to RFC. I agree . Jinky on the right Cooper on the left. Unbeatable.

Saw him for the first time playing at Muirton Park in Perth when I was wee, amazing then as he was till the day he died. God speed wee man!

LOLOL now thats funny  <grin>

Whats that?

THAT TAL was the No I Celtic supporters fansite...Brilliant   :D

Substantiate on that one please?

TAL Fanzine has been around before many other and is run by Celtic Supporters who where there through the good and the bad.  Not like may websites where we have a new breed of Celtic supporter - who never seemed to esist pre bunnet days!

I really did think you were kidding  ;)      everything is relative and what someone thinks is great another will think its crap.. Its all down to personal choice.  I never counted TAL as a Celtic website but always reckoned it was a political site trying to hang onto the coat tails of a Scottish club..  just a personal opinion though and perhaps a great topic over a beer or two rather on a thread on a poker forum thats dedicated to a great footballer..

i think e tims and not the view and more than 90 minutes ar much better than tal , i hate all the religious pish in it, i dont care about the pope or the royal family.  8)

i think we should knock this on the head here guys - dont want a tribute thread to the greatest celt tarnished by a squabble about what is the best comic.

aye well said..  available for  pm's and beer though   ;)
