Jock Stein quotes about
boys men giving
The most pleasure any manager can get is seeing everyday boys joining the Club as youngsters and growing into men and giving themselves a better social standing than they could ever have dreamed of previously.
matter enough referee
If you're good enough, the referee doesn't matter.
football games people
Football is for the fans. It can be the greatest game in the world but if there are no people to watch it, it becomes nothing. The fans are the lifeblood of the game.
thinking winning important
I think it is important to win a match, but I think what is even more important is the manner in which you win.
football fans
Football without fans is nothing.
blue rangers grass
Ach, Rangers are alright, but they still haven’t invented blue grass.
football impact mind
No Scot ever made a bigger impact on a club than Bill Shankly. Others may claim an equal share of trophies and Matt Busby comes to mind with his wonderful record crowned by the European Cup, but not even Matt would claim the kinship with the fans that Bill enjoyed. He was what football was all about. I can't praise him higher than that.
player jersey fit
Celtic jerseys are not for second best, they don't shrink to fit inferior players
games play tomorrow
We must play as if there are no more games, no more tomorrows...
