Great player, probably never realised he was the beginning of such a movement as it happened. I wonder how the humility shown by grown men then playing football would be appreciated these days.
Sadly at our age we will see more and more great names go.
Very well said James. And just to add that we were blessed with a superb Board of Directors at that time who set the foundations for the Club to move to the next level. As you rightly point out United didn't somehow arrive in 1979, we got decent home crowds all through the sixties, built our progress carefully and sustainably, had the vision to recruit a brilliant successor to Jerry Kerr and the rest is the history that made us the Club we are today.
So sad to hear of Finn passing, great player all round and superb striker, RIP Finn.
That season Celtic were undefeated against all comers bar Dundee United as Stokie Boy mentions above.To put that into perspective they won the following trophies.
Glasgow Cup(big at that time)
League Cup
Scottish Cup
European Cup(lost one leg away to a Serbian team)
Scottish League division 1(lost only 2 games both to Dundee United)
RIP Finn a club legend who's name will never be forgotten with the iconic Dens Park Massacre song still sung to this day by Arabs young and old.
Never saw him play but have just read in book about the Scandinavians and how he came over for trial game United won 4-0 he scored the 4 goals . The hatrick against the Fun and goal against Juventus just couple highlights his time here RIP
