TODAY, we present a preview of a fascinating NEW book by Jim Craig, Celtic’s right-back on that breathtaking day in 1967 when, in Lisbon, Portugal, Jock Stein’s Celtic stunned the football world by becoming the first Scottish, British, North-European and non-Latin club to win what was then known in the English-speaking world simply as – The European Cup – often affectionately referred to as, “The Big Cup”.
Jim’s powerful, forthright and insightful writing style, allied to his unsurpassed inside knowledge of everything to do with that unforgettable … and unrepeatable … season of 1966/67 (in which Celtic won every competition they entered) makes this a book simply NOT TO BE MISSED.
