Jinky: Death Of The Legend
Jinky Johnstone is the Greatest player Scotland has every produced. His skillful ability on the football field is second to none and the off-field humour associated with his career will be sorely missed.
Jinky was one of those whom the older generation call "irreplacable." We've all seen players we think are "greats" but Johnstone was a Great amongst the Greats.
His finest hour coming when Celtic swept Europe aside to become the first British (and only Scottish) to win the European Champions Cup back when the Champions in the tournament name meant just that.
The winner of a pitiful number of Scotland caps meant that the footballing world only got a glimpse of the genius of the wee man, but this was never something that got in his way.
His Legend will never be forgotten and his brilliant skills were suitably saluted by Europe's Greats when they wanted a picture of themselves along side Jinky the night he showed Real Madrid what real skill was all about, in the di Stefano testimonal.
God Bless you wee man.
