Ach zomaar een speler :

Jimmy was born in Viewpark in 1944 and joined Celtic in 1961, making his debut two years later. He went on to make a total of 515 appearances for the Hoops, scoring 130 goals, winning nine league championships, four Scottish Cups and five League Cups.. The pinnacle of his playing career came when he lifted the European Cup in 1967.

Jimmy lost his long and courageous battle against Motor Neurone Disease in 2006 but he remains a major part of Celtic Football Club.

The sculpture unveiled today, which has been funded by Celtic Football Club, depicts a young Jimmy Johnstone from the late 1960s, the time of Jimmy’s most noteable achievements.

Created by sculptor Kate Robinson, who also modelled the statue at Celtic Park of the club’s founder Brother Walfrid, it was firstly modelled in clay and then cast in bronze and sited on a granite plinth.

The plinth features images relevant to Jimmy’s life including his famous No.7, a Lion in relation to Lisbon, a heart signifying Jimmy’s courage both on and off the field and images of wings, relating to his gracefulness as a player and his reputation as ‘Lord of the Wing’. The plinth also features a rowing boat, symbolising Jimmy’s infamous nautical excursion while on Scotland duty. The years of Jimmy’s great life, 1944-2006, are also positioned on the plinth.

Jimmy’s widow, Agnes Johnstone, who was closely involved in the development of the statue, said: “I am absolutely delighted with the sculpture which has been created and I think it really is a most fitting tribute to Jimmy.

“We’re sure Jimmy himself would love the statue which has been made in his memory and we would like to thank the Club and everyone else involved. Myself and the whole family greatly appreciate this tremendous honour which has been bestowed upon Jimmy.

“It is a great source of pride for us to see the affection in which Jimmy was held by the club and its supporters - it will be fantastic every time we visit Celtic Park to see Jimmy there to welcome us.”

Celtic Chairman John Reid said: “Jimmy will forever be remembered as one of the finest players ever to grace the Celtic jersey and one of the greatest players ever produced by Scotland.

“He was a man who lived his life to the full and as a player had spirit and determination as his trademarks. It was these same great qualities which he showed in adversity when he faced serious illness and which are an inspiration to us all.

“He is a true Celtic legend and it is most fitting that he takes his place at the gates of Celtic Park, where generations to come will be able to honour this wonderful man.”

Celtic Manager Gordon Strachan commented: “This statue of Jimmy Johnstone is a fitting tribute to a truly great player who gave so much enjoyment to so many people while doing what he loved, playing football for his beloved Celtic.

“When I was younger, Jimmy was one of my footballing heroes and all of us who saw him play can consider ourselves lucky to have enjoyed that privilege.

“I was also lucky to get to know Jimmy off the park and that is something I will always treasure. He showed incredible bravery as a player and that was also to the fore in later life as well, particularly as he battled illness.

“This statue will be a permanent reminder to future generations of supporters, of a wonderful footballer and for Agnes and the family it is hopefully an example of what Jimmy meant to everyone.”

And sculptor Kate Robinson explained that she was proud to have worked on this project. Kate said: “Making the sculpture of Jimmy Johnstone was exhilarating, hard work and demanded a lot of jinking about.

“I intended it to visually balance and respond to the sculpture of Brother Walfrid, the founder of the Club. I also wanted the figure of Jimmy to express movement, focus, energy and determination, as well as a sense of the future."
