		Prior to Lisbon, Celtic had won the Scottish Cup and retained their league title.
		Stein's plan, as ever, was to unhinge a fortress defence with incessant running down the flanks, by Jimmy Johnstone, electric eel on the right wing, and full-backs Jim Craig and Tommy Gemmell, constantly squaring the ball into the path of supporting runners.

		Celtic's triumph, celebrated for many days afterwards by their fans in Lisbon, Glasgow and everywhere between, was even more remarkable because all eleven players were born within 30 miles of Celtic Park - but that was only because left winger Bobby Lennox came from the coastal town of Largs.
		That team, instantly renamed the 'Lisbon Lions', has been the subject of poetry, songs and even a stage play.
		But the Lisbon Lions are still feted whenever they appear at supporters' functions across the world - the first Celtic team to win a European trophy, but surely not the last.

		Thanks to the forthcoming 'Charity Fundraising Match' in honour of the Lisbon Lions I have now been struck down with a heavy dose of the Tim affliction.
		Is the club finally paying respect in the hope that the Lions can make a few quid or are they just trying to fill an empty schedule stricken with yet another balance -sheet unfriendly Winter shutdown.
		It seems to me that the timing is more focused on combating lack of revenue from the SPL shutdown and keeping punters diverted from main issues than filling the stadium to maximum effect in the name of The Lisbon Lions.

		You had to dig nuggets out from him about his career because he hated it to seem as if he was crowing but this was one incident he would talk about.
		Not much fazed Ronnie, but I remember he was so excited when, just after Lisbon, he turned out for Scotland in the 3-2 win over England at Wembley to become, at 36, the country’s oldest international debutant.
