“Within 30 Miles of Celtic Park”: Remembering Celtic’s Lisbon Lions’ European Cup Triumph
In 1967, Celtic FC shocked the world as they became the first British team to make the European Cup final, and in doing so, the first British team to win the European Cup (Champions League). This historic achievement was made all the more impressive when you account for the fact that every single player on that squad was born within 30 miles of Celtic Park (Parkhead). A truly local team. A team of Glaswegians on top of the football world. This video remembers Jock Stein, Celtic, and the Lisbon Lions.

Great comment. I was six. We all watched and I remember big Tams equaliser so clearly as My Dad had to run out to go to the upstairs bathroom. In those days action replays were brand new. My mother was unaware of this fact and she watched the replay unaware of what she was seeing, “we’ve scored again !!” She roared, wrongly. My poor Father nearly broke a leg trying to throw himself back downstairs. After Steve’s winner, my father, who played the bagpipes, took to the front door and we all marched into the avenue as all the neighbours came out to celebrate. Dad played the Celtic Song on the pipes as we all celebrated. Love the memory, love the club….if you know the History. Hail Hail

This achievement will never be eclipsed! The lions won a quadruple in 1967 and reached a semi final European cup the next year. Back in that time some of the greatest players of all time played and Europe was dominated by Italians and Spanish teams mainly. Celtic is a club for all. This should be a film 🏆

[@maconescotland8996]

To be accurate - Celtic reached the semi final of the European Cup Winners Cup (v Liverpool) in 1965/1966 season, not the European Cup, having won the Scottish Cup the previous season.

[@TheSpaghettihoop]

I was 14 years old and remember watching this European Cup Final on a beautiful sunny Thursday evening with the Kick-Off at 5.30.pm. on a Black and White television, I had been to every game in this European Cup run at Celtic Park. It is now 53 years ago and I remember it as if it was only yesterday. Glasgow Celtic F. C,'s biggest achievement. For many Celtic Supporters, this will be in their memory until the day we die.

Not only the players’ origin/proximity to Celtic Park, but the names......... all Scottish Clan names with their clan’s own tartan! Absolutely amazing!!!

[@tonyh7994]

It might seem irrelevant but it's worth mentioning that at the time the Scottish League was ranked the third strongest in Europe. Even teams like Kilmarnock and Dundee were in European finals and semi finals. It shows just how incredible they were over the course of the season competing in 5 competitions in one of the best leagues in Europe.

[@eddiec697]

Both European finals were contested by Scottish teams, Rangers played in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final in May 1967 - losing to Bayern Munich

[@tonyh7994]

@Uncle Gilbert 1966-67 Fairs Cup semi final. It was the same edition that Dundee United beat Barcelona home and away and Dunfermline lost out on away goals to eventual winners Dinamo Zagreb.

[@tonyh7994]

@Pollywog Yeah Scottish football was a powerhouse back then although I wouldn't say it put Real Madrid to shame because they were competing in European Cup semis but yes Ajax and Liverpool probably weren't as strong as some of those Scottish clubs at the time.

[@RichardSmith-ew3xz]

The season Celtic won it Rangers got to the Cup Winners Cup Final and Kilmarnock made it to semi finals of The Fairs Cup (later became the UEFA cup). A decent effort from the Scottish teams in 1967.

It's like Andorra or something (or some 30 mile country) winning the Euros 😂. Its maybe even more incredible than that because Celtic's competitors were assembled from the best all over the world. Don't understand it at all but its by far the most mind blowing achievement in football in my opinion. As much as I still love it, it does put football in the modern day into perspective. Multimillion pound businesses doing what they should, when they win a trophy. The players should represent the supporters and in the case of the '67 final the players were just supporters.
