That is OK then

:dabs:

My two nephews are big hoops fans and I am sure their duvet covers had Larsen in stirring form rather than a huddle.

Suppose Larsen is old hat now though :idunno:

Stop it with the harshness.

It's Larsson and well you know it.

And also he will never be "old hat" he was voted our best foreign player ever.

The bloke is magnificent and a Celtic legend and always will be.

:shifty:

He was rather good it must said - even the Huns wished they had signed him.
 
Winning La Liga twice and the Champions League helped. He set up the winning goal in the final (against Arse if memory serves).

Sir Lex wanting him. Then asking him to come back sort of re-inforces it as well.
 
Larson was indeed a world class player but what he was doing at Celtic was a bit of a mystery.

No offence to the those north of the border but the SPL is no where near as strong a league as the premiership. 3 teams through to the champions league semi should prove that. let alone your own admission that to get the golden boot you have to score more goals there.

If the Scottish and English leagues joined where do you think Celtic and rangers would finish at the end of a season?

I was reading about the record football attendances today

Rangers 118,567
Celtic 92,000
Manchester City 84,569
Manchester United 83,260
Chelsea 82,905 (apparently 100,000+ attended a Chelsea v dynamo Moscow game after ww2)

I don't doubt that joining the English league would be great for Celtic and rangers. extra tv revenue alone would be a big help. but you still are not in near the top 4 in the premier league for revenue every year.

The world's 20 biggest football clubs in full (2006/07 revenue figures in brackets)
1: Real Madrid (€351.0)
2: Man. United (€315.2)
3: FC Barcelona (€290.1)
4: Chelsea (€283.0)
5: Arsenal (€263.9)
6: AC Milan (€227.2)
7: Bayern Munich (€223.3)
8: Liverpool (€198.9)
9: Internazionale (€195.0)
10: AS Roma (€157.6)
11: Tottenham (€153.1)
12: Juventus (€145.2)
13: Lyon (€140.6)
14: Newcastle Utd (€129.4)
15: Hamburg SV (€120.4)
16: Schalke 04 (€114.3)
17: Celtic (€111.8)
18: Valencia (€107.6)
19: Marseille (€99.0)
20: Werder Bremen (€97.3)



14-15th is a bit pessimistic, i was thinking around 7th - 8th the first year.

Still the debate of where teams would be placed and crowd trouble would make a joined league rather difficult to pull off.
 
Brother Walfrid was instrumental in setting up the club in the east end of Glasgow. Indeed he is the chap who is considered to have started the whole thing off.

That statue recognises that. In essence without him there would be no Celtic.

There was also a restaurant created within the stadium in his name. I have eaten there on several occasions, including Mrs JP's 40th and number two son's 16th.
 
What crowd trouble.

I'm sure the English fans would do their best to behave. They tend to be OK at home, it's just when they go abroad that the problem starts.

Re your assertion, Celtic are roughly 80 million euro behind Liverpool which is around 60 million pounds. That must surely be around what Liverpool would earn in TV money. And also income from every other source would almost certainly increase.
