Celtic legend Gemmell dies

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.”
