Hve you got a Celtic story to tell?
My name is Robert Harvey and I live in Glasgow.
I am writing a book about my favourite Celtic player, Bobby Murdoch. When I was at school in 1960’s I used to save up my school dinner money every day, and use it to buy a ticket to go and see the Lisbon Lions play in the great European Cup games at Celtic Park. He was a fantastic player to watch. Jock Stein once said “ When the name Bobby Murdoch appears on our team sheet, I feel the opposition team get an inferiority complex. “
I have heard many supporters say that he was a nice modest man away from football, and that he represented everything that is good about a Celtic player. Billy McNeill once said “ Bobby was such a popular lad and a superb player. A big influence, but more importantly he was just a really decent human being.”
Every Celtic supporter has a story to tell, and many supporters around the world will have good memories of the great games that he played for Celtic, or the great goals that he scored, or wonderful personal stories if they ever met him.
I would be very grateful if you could send me any favourite stories that you may have about him. All stories will be fully acknowledged.
Please pass this note to any of your friends, family, or colleagues who may be interested in contributing a story. I can be contacted at glasgowquotes@yahoo.co.uk.
Thanks for your help, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Robert Harvey
