Celtic's greatest side became European champions in 1967, but if
you think you know their history - think again. This is their tale
as never told before. The remarkable story of how Jock Stein
brought together a group of local lads, engaging on their first
European Cup campaign, and led them all the way to the top will
never be repeated. As they progressed, they continued to challenge
on four fronts, giving new pride to the city of Glasgow, and
creating a legend that resonates still, fifty years on. A Year and
a Day provides unprecedented detail on the twelve months that
brought such unique success. Discover which Clyde player almost
became a Lisbon Lion and who he would have replaced. Learn how Jock
Stein got his prediction for the final horribly wrong and even what
the Lions had for breakfast on the great day. Find out who spirited
away the match ball - and keeps it to this day - at the end of
Celtic's tumultuous quarter-final with Vojvodina. The book includes
an excruciatingly honest interview with Jimmy Johnstone, Celtic's
greatest player, previously unpublished in full. The other Lisbon
Lions also have their say, and here too, for the first time, are
extensive interviews with representatives of all of the opponents
that Celtic faced on the way to Lisbon, providing frank and
shocking insights. Teeming with fresh material, this book
scrutinises every step Celtic took on the way to winning the
European Cup. Even the players who won the great trophy will
discover in these pages new revelations about how they emerged
triumphant. It is the last word on their magnificent achievement.
