Celtic legend Gemmell dies
Print Edition
TOMMY Gemmell, the Celtic great who scored one of the goals that helped the Scottish club win the European Cup in 1967, has died after a long illness. He was 73. Celtic announced his death yesterday, saying the full back was a “true legend”. Gemmell scored the equalizer and played a key part in Stevie Chalmers’ winning goal as Celtic beat Inter Milan 2-1 in Lisbon to become the first British team to win the European Cup. He also scored in Celtic’s 1-2 loss to Feyenoord in the European Cup final in 1970. “Tommy was a Celtic great, one of football’s greats and I know he will be so sadly missed by everyone who knew him,” Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell said. “He was a man of huge stature in the game.”
