Great Post Dorine, couldn't have said it better. I for one remember and
am grateful for the opportunity not only to see the greatest player to
have ever played the game, but to listen to him reminisce and espouse
his thoughts on both the past and the present C's teams. We should all,
who are real Celtic fans respect him for what he did for this franchise.
