CELTIC LEGEND - Jock Stein

Jock Stein was Celtic's most successful manager ever, boasting a European Cup and Nine league titles in a row among a staggering total of twenty-five competitive trophies in just 13 seasons. Celtic's stirring victory over Inter Milan in the 1967 European Cup Final was a rare achievement in world football as they had won every competition they entered that season. It was also a triumph for attacking football over an ultra-defensive Italian style that at the time was threatening to suffocate the game on the Continent.

Jock Stein, a former Celtic captain had worked wonders in the first two years since he had taken charge at Celtic Park. First he had transformed the ailing club into the best in Scotland, at a time when Scottish teams were regularly competing at the highest level in Europe. Then he turned Celtic into the 'Kings of Europe', and continued to deliver unprecedented success to the famous old club during the 1970's. Jock Stein is legend and will always hold a special place in the hearts of all of Celtic fans.
