Jimmy is my grandfather he was just brilliant I know alot of ppl have different things to say but to me he was my granda,father,best friend and most of all my hero.....you will never walk alone wee man💚🍀💚💚🍀💚
God bless u
I met your grandfather Tommy burns and Tom boyd before he and Tommy burns passed and all knew my grandfather somehow, your grandfather one the funniest chaps I’ve ever met, still have a signed Celtic view from all them in my loft kept away!! They came up to the lounge got me an iron bru all all 3 got my grandfathers a pint kept 2 in the pumps, was best day my life other than tommy burns nearly breaking my knuckles with his overly firm handshake, actually my grandfathers anniversary to and that’s why I’m on her listening to this song he showed me of you pops days before he himself passed ✝️🫶🏻☘️ God bless! And hail hail to you and our Celtic supporters community and family!! 💚
Just a grand wee man all round.. Could definitely play a bit eh?! Sing too, what a man!! Keep your Messi & Ronaldo, give us Jinky every single time.. They couldn't lace his boots!! Love to you & yours from the Celtic family..😊🍀💚
I'm a Rangers fan and that gave me goosebumps and really reduced me to tears. I can't even imagine what that would do for a Celtic fan seeing that. He'll always be missed.
Mate admire your honesty, this makes me cry lol.
Never really knew ma grandad,if I could have picked ,it would've have been Jimmy,Best Celt Ever,Real 0 Celtic 1,❤❤❤
Im a bluenose but watching Jinky play, sent shivers down my spine..R.I.P. wee man..
Nice to here from you mate. Thanks
Fair Play to ya Jembo why cant we all get on together God Bless ya
igor stein
Thanks Igor, and wish we could all keep religion out of the game.P.s the wee man is no a bad chanter as well...lol
Fair play,mate.
Celtic should play this as part of the music theme before games. Beautiful tribute!!! By beauttiful old Jimmy!!!
+James Mcleod they do at times mate
What a Scotsman Jimmy was. He’s like so many aulder guys I knew growin up in Leith. 🏴🏴🏴
There are not enough superlatives to describe what Jinky meant to us. What an appetite for life. Thanks Jimmy for the memories.
“He sings an he sings to evribdy” beautiful statement by the big man. Rest In Peace gentlemen
I'm a Rangers fan and still thought this was amazing. Jinky was something else.
As a Rangers fan,I'd like to say it's a pity there are no more players like him today.
suffern63 fair play mucker
suffern63 : Nice Reply.x
Lovely words mate.No more Jinkys or Jim Baxter’s or George Bests.
You're a credit to Rangers.All the best,mate
So true still hope
What a player. From a Manchester united fan: I loved this guy and what he did to Leeds... and what that great team did...
He did to my team Rangers so many times, God knows what he would b worth nowadays 🇬🇧
RIP jimmy what a player, you and cooper best scottish wingers
Bobby Lennox & Jim Baxter weren't too bad either mate.. 😁👍
This could bring a tear to a glass eye. Absolute legend.
My uncle Jimmy ran the double J in Hamilton, my gran Rouse got to go to see them in Lisbon I also got to meet the whole celtic team including Jock Stein
I'm Welsh and I appreciated jinky. Great player.
Tears in my eyes watching this... R.I.P wee man god bless you 🍀 In The Heat Of Lisbon 🍀
absolutely brilliant, Jinky will always be revered and remembered by the Celtic faithful, i've grown up hearing stories about Jinky, how he could run teams ragged, he may have been small in height but he was a giant with courage and seemless talent, sadly missed by thousands, R.I.P Jinky
Jinky, you were the greatest, R.I.P. wee man.
Don't you just love Jimmy! He was a fantastic player& such a character.Good singer as well!!
a great footballer who could sing ,, just brill RIP Jimmy a true legend
from a non celtic football fan
As an Englishman I'll quite happily say that it's the celts that produce the footballing geniuses, be it Jimmy Johnston, George Best, Billy Bremner, Dennis Law, Shankly, Busby, Doherty, Ferguson - I'm showing my age - the list could go on and on. Like Best, Johnson was a joy to watch as well as being a true gent.
8 years today Jimmy... never forgotten.. GBJJ..
God bless you jimmy...R.I.P.wee man
l.m nearly in tears here
brilliant video
lovely :) and very heartwarming, rip wee jimmy johnstone x
Jimmy Johnston passing time
Helen McCafferty I’ve still got the 7 inch single to this day
Brilliant version of this song!
Love Simple Minds....love Dirty Old Town, and now, I love Jimmy Johnstone. I never heard of him before, but after watching this video I've read about him and understand why he is so sorely missed. Very nice video, and really great arrangement of one of my favorite tunes. Thanks for the vid rosharris!
Hail Hail Jinky R.I.P
I'm man utd but total respect. A good human being. Religion and football should stop hate n respect good people. ☮️ xx
Jimmy Johnstone #lordofthewing ❤️❤️❤️
We will remember you #jinky
We will love Jimmy forever, always in our hearts
I don't cry easily, but listening to this moved me emotionally so much .. looking back down memory lane .. I was honoured to see Jimmy play every week all through the late 60's early 70's .. it seemed as if the ball was attached to his boot by a piece of invisable elastic .. he'd go round a man .. then go back and beat him twice just for the hell of it beacause he could .. what a legend .. a lovely man .. god rest you Jinky .. gone but NEVER forgotten ! !
Rip wee jinky.legend.
great to see so many comments from good guy fans of the Rangers! cheers lads!
Only fair mate, he was amazing, I'm Rangers but my Granda was Celtic , he was his all time favourite player 💙💚
"OUR LOVE WAS ON THE WING".I had the great fortune of meeting and getting to know Jimmy through mutual friends... R.I.P. Celtic Legend and Friend. x
THE GREATEST CELT THAT EVER LIVED GBY JINKY LORD OF THE WING 💚💚💚
God bless the wee man with a big heart
always believed that if jinky was English he still wouldnt have got in the final 11 during the 1966 finals......not because England were stuffed with ball players but simply because Alf wouldnt have known what to do with a real genius.
Heard so much about jinky jimmy from my father and uncles and man was such a legend wish I got to see him on the pitch he puts messi and ronaldo to shame rip jinky hail hail
Ryan Whyte
Rest in peace Jinky the greatest...
Simple minds and the wee man! Fab! xxxx
the tears are streaming down my face..the guy was a 1 off ..my first game was his and bobby lenox;s testimonial..for once in my life i wish i was older so i couldv seen his career .without having 2 watch it on dvd god bless..
This was probably my second game and I can still picture standing in Celtic Park where Celtic and United were all mixed in together enjoying watching the end of a genius's career, along with another star in Bobby Lennox. Shame the younger generation just don't get the bond that these 2 clubs used to share!!
Brilliant 😎!!!! From a Rangers fan .
Rangers man here , my family were half n half, my Granda on my mum's side said Jimmy was his favourite player ever, total respect for an amazing man and player 💙💚 x
Great tribute Tae yin o the Best JINKY 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
RIP Jinky fae a Falkirk Bairn
u smashed it wee man!
Great player, no one like him today sadly .. Not a bad singer also .. R.I.P Jimmy .. A football fan ...
Will always be missed, one of the best footballer ever
i might get some shit for this but i am a bass player in a local band here in NZ.i am a englishman who is a arsenal fan and have seen arsenal loads of times and have seen celtic a couple of times at highbury,seen jim kerr at the games at highbury,now my dad is from dublin so we chose to learn dirty old town to do in the band,so also a big u2 fan and pogues fan so for me great song to learn,i have a few tears down my cheek dad would of known jimmy but what a guy he seems to be,awesome
David :- Dirty Old Town is about Manchester or to be exact Salford.

i first saw Jimmy playing for the reserves against rangers at parkhead. i'me not sure if he done a summersault, or a rolly polly, but, he done it with the ball at his feet and carried on running wi it. couldnt believe what i had just witnessed. entertainer you better believe it..
the best we had and best ever. rangers will never get a player as good as him ever. RIP WEE JINKY miss you and celtic would love to have someone as good as you back at paradise
