Synopsis
The untold story of Celtic’s memorable European Cup final victory against Inter Milan in 1967.
The authors have carried out interviews and searched though archives across Europe to reveal new perspectives from players, the media, supporters and even the match referee, in order to tell afresh the story of that iconic moment when Celtic reached the pinnacle of European football with a team drawn entirely from the West of Scotland.
The authors reveal why Lisbon might not have been the venue for the 1967 final; they reflect on the sudden mass invasion of boisterous Scottish fans in a Portugal under a socially conservative dictatorship; and they highlight the turning points, tactics and human factors involved in the intense drama of Celtic’s remarkable victory, not least the deeply personal nature of the contest between Jock Stein and Helenio Herrera.
The book includes many original photographs previously unseen in the UK and is essential reading not only for Celtic supporters but for all those interested in the history of the European Cup.
