Jim Craig: A Lion returns to Lisbon | OneFootball

Almost 60 years on from Celtic’s greatest ever triumph, Lisbon Lion Jim Craig returned to the Estádio Nacional to reflect on the 1967 European Cup victory.

The iconic stadium, which sits in the Jamor Valley just outside of Lisbon city centre, hasn’t changed much over the last six decades and, returning to the site of his finest hour, Jim Craig relives the memories from that famous evening when Celtic defeated Inter Milan 2-1 and were crowned Champions of Europe.

As well as looking back on the match itself, Jim, who made well over 200 appearances in the Hoops, shares his unique take on that famous walk from the dressing room to the pitch, recalls his emotions at realising so many Celtic supporters had made the journey to Lisbon to drive their side to victory and explains why, on a personal level, the night after the European Cup final was just as memorable for him.

Jim, who is a natural and captivating storyteller, paints a picture of the most iconic moment in Celtic’s history so vividly that this is a must-see for Celtic supporters of all ages, and the full feature is available to watch now.
