RIP Billy McNeill

Post by Galfon »

A true great has passed away, aged 79.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/48022512

He was a top player and great leader on the pitch with a phenomenal record of success as captain and for a while as manager with the Hoops.
He couldn't emulate that later as club manager (e.g with the mighty Villa), but as with many great players, appeared to fall short in passing on his winning mentality to various motley crews of rag-tag wastrels in his charge.
RIP.
