	Glasgow Celtic at eleven-a-side.com, the home of Irish soccer
		Johnstone's magical skill, his passion and free-spirited approach to the game and his likeability added to Stein's ambition, pride and professionalism would encapsulate the new, great Celtic, a Celtic that would conquer Europe in 1967 and be a banner for everything that was honest, pure and exciting about home-spun wonderfully talented soccer people.
		Johnstone could be as stubborn as he was gifted as a footballer and that stubbornness shone through in one instance while Celtic were on a, then unprecedented, close-season tour of North America during the summer of 1966.
		When Johnstone was in his element, bobbing, weaving, ducking and darting, he was poetry in motion and his ability to make defenders, particularly English ones, look ponderous and muscle-bound in their efforts to stymie his inventiveness and creativity, endeared him to football followers everywhere, even Rangers fans.

	Jimmy Johnstone - Telegraph
		Jimmy Johnstone, who died yesterday aged 61, was one of Scotland's greatest ever footballers; a winger of outstanding control, balance and dribbling abilities, he instilled fear and bewilderment in opposing defences.
		James Johnstone, the son of a miner, was born at Viewpark, Uddingston, Lanarkshire, on September 30 1944 and educated at St John's Secondary School, Uddingston.
		Johnstone's international career was not as successful as it should have been, partly because part of the Hampden crowd would have preferred Willie Henderson to play on the wing.

	Scotsman.com Sport - Jimmy Johnstone - Johnstone's bravery matched his talent
		Jimmy was one of those players who, even if he was playing for a team that you absolutely detested, got a certain amount of your respect for a number of factors.
		When Jimmy was brought down, as he was fairly regularly in an age when tackling was a bit more crude than today, he merely took the ball once more and drove at the same defender, knowing that another illegal and nasty challenge was probably on the cards.
		Jimmy had a fear of flying, so when Jock Stein mentioned that if Celtic got a good lead from the first leg of the European Cup tie against Red Star at Parkhead in the autumn of 1968, he might not have to travel to Yugoslavia, the wee man took the message on board.

	Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Jinky's mission
		Christmas spirit: Jimmy Johnstone is a committed Christian and since contracting motor neuron disease has been keen to try to alleviate the suffering for everyone with the condition.
		Johnstone shunned showboating for its own sake, preferring to harness his abilities for the greater good although his feistiness was rarely far from the surface.
		Johnstone remains, above all a fighter ("I might not have been the player I was without that level of aggression in me") although, as with Muhammad Ali and his tribulations with Parkinson’s, there is something particularly poignant when a great athlete is stricken by infirmity.
