Both for those of you who are disappointed by this performance and wanted to know what all the fuss was about & for those who are in awe of Jinky and want to watch more of him - do take a look at my extended compilation of Johnstone's best skills, for the creation of which this video was made for:

he was rubbish, like the scots team
stupid clip the guy is a bum, lasted 1 minute, thanks for nothing
@@bobtalor7380 i agree as americans say garbage
That's why greatest ever celtic player ignorant basts
Don't see the point of this posting - hardly got past an English player, every pass straight to opposition, very little "dribbling" that I could see. One of his poorest games
What a player wee Jimmy was. He tortured my Rangers side on many an occasion. RIP, wee man.
Very decent of you to say that.
As a Englishman, got to say, he was genius.
Wouldn’t say he was a genius ffs he was just a footballer wtf
@@Tearsofaclown01he was a Celtic legend Celtics greatest player ya plum
@@Fbi_butta63 arguably he’s. Still wouldn’t say he’s a genius ffs. It’s a game ae fitbaw nae need for the name calling
As a Leeds fan I know from experience in 1970 how good JJ was . Terry Cooper was a great defender for us but he really struggled against JJ in the 70 European Cup semis as well as this game . Also it shows how influential Billy Bremner was as he's always in the camera shot whichever part of the pitch the action is .
Mike. I was there. Two great Scots warriors. Both always gave 100 %. I love the famous picture of Billy with Dave Mackay. Leeds were awesome in those days.
Disliked Billy for both Leeds and Scotland, but he would be worth a fortune today. As you say everywhere on that pitch.
@@paulc2130wee Billy was a terrific captain and inspirational figure
Wee Jinky absolutely tortured Inter Milan in the European Cup Final in Lisbon in 1967 when Celtic became the first UK club to win the trophy. The only way they could stop him was to kick him. Tragically struck down by MND and no longer with us! RIP wee man!
Uddingstons finest... RIP Jimmy..
Not only first to bring it back to the British isles,the first non Latin team to win it,and of course all players born within an 11 mile radius of the stadium,barring bobby Lennox 30 miles from saltcoats,The best there was and the best there ever will be🍀 🦁.
What a a player
Thank fuck Celtic don't have anyone close to the wee man nowadays. Seriously though I'm a rangers supporter but Jinky is a joy to watch total character and along Baxter something we will never see again. What a player
A cross between Roy Keane any Gareth Bale.
@@willhay6148 aw mate he was much more than that. His personality and patter shone through in his football
@@garywright7127 No offence, mate. What I mean is I've heard of him so I clicked on the video and I just saw a wonderful player doing things that no one else on the pitch was even attempting. I'm a Leeds fan and I know we had great Scottish players in the 70s, but I wasn't around. But when we won the top flight in 92, McAllister and Strachen were pivotal. All the best.
@@willhay6148 mate I'm a rangers fan but sometimes players come along and even play for your rivals that make you put your hands up and say what a player
@@garywright7127 Great to hear a totally unbiased fan sing the praises of wee Jinky. You are a credit to and ambassador for your team. All the best.
Jimmy and Baxter were just incredible players.
Jinky was something else. He along with George Best were the best dribblers in the British Isles (with all due respect to Sir Stanley Matthews). I grew up watching both of them on the 1960s, and they were out of this world. Both of them left us too soon.
Fabulous player
As a Celtic fan of nearly 70 i was lucky enough to have watched Jinky , he was one of the best i have ever seen and one of my favourite players when he consider the money players are paid now compared too back then it is obscene , not only that the wee man was so funny and had a heart of Gold R.I.P. wee man always remember you Hail Hail
A great player 👏 and person too,as a rangers supporter he will never be forgotten 💙
Actually jinky Johnson played for Celtic not Rangers
@@phineus8397 Thats testament to how good he was that Rangers fans were in awe of him.
What a player he was, the way he beats players by just moving his body and not even touching the ball is truly quite remarkable
Saw him at the tail end of his career at Sheffield United, a shadow of his former self, don't think I ever saw my father more disappointed in a player, spent days praising him after he signed
Nobody can be at the top of their game forever. The man had his demons, he’d done everything in his career by that point.
@@YerDa67 I didn't claim anyone could, yes he had his demons, and he won't be the last that carries on playing when his glory days are long behind him, but even though my father was an ardent Blade, he all but worshipped the Lisbon Lions, and for one of them to play for UTD was a dream
The Home Internationals - That Was Proper Football!!!
He's why i love celtic so much, watching him torment Leeds united in European cup, what a genius, love you jj. ❤️
Wee Jinky. Different class. Hail Hail 🍀
One sleeve up and one sleeve down. Why does that look so iconic. Cool dude 😎 👌🏻
I am so happy I found your channel. It's a super football channel.
I love how this era of football looked. Look at the ball, look at those kits!
Me too, love this era.
plus some of the football was played on mudbath pitches as compared to todays bowling greens
look at the tackles. Tackle like that today and you would be red carded after 10 minutes
And the Ref's kit . See how he shoves the players away , He took no gobby mouth that day .
The tackles as well😆
Imagine what JJs stats would've been like these days with the protection players get now.
Just simply beautiful ❤❤.
As an English 9 year old growing up in Singapore ,who's idol was G. Banks , i never heard of Jimmy Johnson , untill the Gordon Highlander kids my school mates told me about him . I remember next day Sunday 10 am ( Time Difference ) . Jocks & English at my friends Jock house , a cheer went up everytime J.J. touch the ball .
He was a magnificent player and a joy to watch.
An absolute legend! I remember him as a kid when he used to visit his sister in law down in Bothwell Lanarkshire as Jimmy used to be out running down from Viewpark Uddingston. He would stop and play football with all the weans (kids) me included. I’ll never ever forget those days. Some of us wore Rangers shirts but that didn’t make a difference to him as he rose above that narrow minded mind set as he was all about football. My dad was from Viewpark and Jimmy had a cup of tea at ours before going to see Francis. Apparently one of his idols was Garrincha. For me he was one of the best players of all time and up there in terms of ability with the greats. He just didn’t get the recognition that he deserved. Even now with the very popular EA Sports FIFIA Ultimate Team video game he’s not included. In that game that sells millions Globally they have players rated as icons. None of the 1967 Celtic team are included nor indeed the Rangers team who won the European cup winners cup either. As a Rangers fan I can say we were all proud of Jimmy and tbh Celtic too as we are all Scottish and the same culturally identity. If your a true football fan then blue or green should make no difference in your admiration of a great player RIP Jinkie
Great story, thanks for sharing! You can certainly see the Garrincha resemblance in his playing style.
@@HarmsFootball No problem. Many times we had a kick about with him. With 20 weans trying to get the ball off him and Jimmy dribbling around us with all sorts of skill moves 😊. We even followed him up to Wood Dean football pitches more than half a mile away with him sort of being like a pied piper. Yes the Garrincha influence is there with the quick change in direction. I recall him doing step overs too but curiously he didn’t incorporate that in to his game
@@silverarrowslk That's brilliant, brilliant memories.
There was a documentary on stv a good while back about wee Jimmy and his background in viewpark. It tells of how his primary school headmaster could see a talent in him. It showed the parks that he used to practice his skills on - dribbling around milk bottles with big heavy boots on was another thing he did. His girlfriend ( later wife ) tells how he was non stop football practice. Just to think he was a small lad from a housing estate in Scotland.
He's right at it here. Great stuff.
'Well that has ruined the policeman's day, and just as he was enjoying the game' 😄
Absolutely *love* the commentary from this era.
My God ...poor Terry Cooper ended up with twisted blood after this and Glasgow Celtic v Leeds United..European Cup Semi final in 1970 ..that wee Jinky tore Leeds apart😁
Great footage.
Can remember watching the wee man at Sheffield United he was a genius then even though his best days were behind him
The wee man at it again.
Good skills and commitment to take players on. Those uniforms were beautiful.
The best part was Coopers recovery after the slip. Fantastic
Damn nice video quality for '71
Love the commentary too…. “Jugglery” 😂
Jimmy Johnstone and John Greig combining. Great days!
John Greig was a talentless thug.
Yeah Celtic and Rangers. That’s Scotland. 🙄
@@jintsfan Don't forget Leeds , Bremner, Lorimer, E.Gray, Harvey, McQueen, Jordan etc.
@@mick6370 That was what I was hinting it.
@@jintsfan Ok Bud 👍🏻
A lot of passes going astray, mind you, must’ve been like kicking a medicine ball in that era. 🍀
Do you know what dubbin is?
@@georgianwindow I don’t know what that is Norman, guessing is it the material in which the ball was made with??
Dubin the ball and our boots let in water as no plastic cover so dubbin was rubbed into the ball to keep the water out .. but it lasted for 20 mins then became water sodden and heavy. the balls were called case balls and had laces to cover the inflater thing.. I am talking 1062 Cos I was the one who used to dubbin the balls ready for games, which got you out of a lesson.. by 1971 the balls were much more advanced but still heavier than today's balls
1962 I mean not 1062 The Saxons were not big on football
@@georgianwindow Ahh right got you, i never knew that my friend.
The outro tune is killer...
I feel for Jimmy here. He was accustomed to playing with like Lennox, Murdoch, Connolly and Hay every week. Half of this team are nowhere near that level.
Remember JJ well ! I was only about 8 , but even then-in England!-you just knew there was something special about anyone who played for Jock Stein's Celtic, JJ was one of the select few World class Scots who never came to an English club. Great player.
What a great player
If anything this shows how restricted Jinky was here by many of his teammates who couldn’t match a drop of his skill and creativity.
He waa mesmerising
I'm only going to comment on what I've seen here but it's lovely to see a player play like he was in the school playground as one of the better kids. Held on to the ball too long as time and gave the ball away a lot but ran around giving so much. England looked to foul him as the only way to stop him.he had very close control which is difficult to defend against!
Planning advice, thats so true. And george best played the same way except best was a better player. Jimmy didnt have a good game against england that i know off. Best did and scored great goals against england but the rest of his team didnt.
Can go both ways. Rare to see today. It's such an advantage.
He put a shift in for this game and had amazing skill. He could beat anyone but as these clips show, he ultimately mostly lost the ball.
Yeah ! I'm about 2 mins in , and all he's done so far is give the ball away !
Your club died.
Yes he did ! But poor English defence really ! But he did make it happen !
@@cmc6112 sad man, nothing to do with bigotry, obsessed bead rattler
@@MadderMel I’m watching Arron Lennon here...meh.
Don't ask the Celtic fans how good Jimmy was, ask the Rangers fans. Along with people like Wilson, Henderson and Willie Johnston of Rangers, Hughes, Lennox and Jimmy Johnstone of Celtic, we had a load of great wingers.
As a scottish man myself we did have some great players but couldn't do it at big tournaments one day I hope things change. Our current squad under Steve Clarke still need a jimmy johnstone and a Kenny Dalglish but also I feel we need a world class central defender or two cos we concede goals at the top level you have to be rock solid. I don't know if we will get past Ukraine if we do then it will be tougher against Wales.
You always knew wee Jimmy wasn't taking things seriously until at least one sock was down at his ankles...thanks for uploading.
"Just look at that jugglery".
So good Wee Jimmy created new adjectives
Without question he’s in a greatest ever XI from the UK and Ireland. Best on one wing, Johnstone on the other. Good luck defending them two.
Man utd were after him as a youngster, thankfully he chose Celtic
Would love to see a video on Charlie Cooke. What a dribbler he was!
Now he was a good player and of the 70s was not wee Jinky here of the 60s really
Eddie Gray even better in my view.
No mate Charlie Cook was better than Eddie but unfortunately Charlie fell foul of the demon drink which ended his career prematurely like so many @@mick6370
England’s goalie and defenders look like they work security at the same downtown bar.
If only he could have played a through ball in this game.
I never saw him in the flesh, but he looks like one of those players who would infuriated me.
Scotland was victoriouse later in wembley against england. this team evolved to a very strong team.
He made some good touches in this game
Real Football
Real Men
Happy days
LEGEND IN EVERY WAY
R.i.p jinky a Celtic legend gbnf hh💔
Gotta love oldschool soccer..."6 guys in front of me? Head down, full speed ahead!"
Apart from a few nice moments in the first half. He mostly lost the ball, running into brick walls.
On a side note: the ball moved like a brick back then. Modern balls move so swiftly with just a tap. Makes for faster moving games.
Agree. Very ineffective in this game. England's defence was far too good for Scotland.
Yeah, it's far from his best performance - although there are some mitigating circumstances to be fair. He was targeted by English defenders in the first time, they kept kicking him without any mercy, hence his second time performance being not as effective. And Scotland was just horrendous tactically. I've included a couple of episodes from the second time where Johnstone kept making good runs but his teammates either ignored them or failed to pass the ball to him accurately. In the last 30 minutes Scotland reserved to kicking the ball forward in Johnstone's general direction - nice move, considering that he's 1,62m tall and there's Bobby fecking Moore leading England's defense!
Check him versus England Hampden 1974 before World Cup! Different class in that game!
If only he got lost at sea more often 🙂
I used to love dribbling with those heavier balls - they stuck to your feet like glue.
Wonderful skills in the days when we still had a team to be proud of!
Jim Baxter playing keepy-uppy against the then World Champions team in 1967 is another great moment in football history...
Baxter was magnificent in that game! Such a shame that there’s so little footage of him, especially from before the leg break.
@@HarmsFootball Agreed. I know fans who say that by 1967, Baxter was already well into decline. I'd love to see a video of early 60's Baxter, and see just how good he was. I used to know Rangers fans who revered him. There is just enough of Jimmy Johnstone, and thankfully more of Davie Cooper to know how good they were, but alas, not Baxter. Thanks for the upload
@@HarmsFootball tbh he was ok, but he was better in the 63 game where he scored 2 goals. Bremner & Law were superb in the 67 game. Baxter was at Sunderland & drinking too much etc etc by that point. A shame .. & it was after his leg break
If Jim Baxter or Jimmy Johnston were english there would be programs and tributes all over engerlandshire but because These true icons of football were Scottish they are swept under the carpet.
@@jimwatson3382 And what is the excuse for not having them showcased on BBC Scotland or STV? Too native Scottish for the SNP? Not "diverse enough" probably...
That ball looks heavy..
Remembered those balls, heavy a nightmare to head and super slippery.
I got married that day, and scotland were beaten as well, nae luck!
🤣🤣🤣
One of the most underrated players ever. How anyone can forget what he did to Madrid… The Madrid fans were screaming ‘ole’ and clapped him off the pitch! Years before the Madrista’s did it to Ronaldinho. He’s up with there with Best and co. Legend.
Jimmy Johnston's dribbling is similar to Messi's.
And I like the classic orange balls of this era.
Nice skill, lovely first touch-no end product
Big Paddy Crerand from the Gorbals ☘️
So many of those players that were so familiar no longer with us.
Johnsone should have been subbed after giving the ball away so much
Wee Jinky 😍
He’d be worth well over 100 million now. How times have changed
Imagine the recognition if he just so happened to be born in England. Awesome player. One of the most naturally gifted players that ever lived.
Imagine you weren't so fucking obsessed about England in every facet of your life.
@@eddielasowsky7777 I'm English mate. Judge me more please. Atleast you will sleep easy, it's easy to judge whilst typing. Your response was way off. I don't like folk like you. Absolute judgemental prat.
And as a nation like Scotland, they have millions less as than London. Jinky is one of the best players on these Isles that ever lived. And as a supporter. I see that . Ya absolute rude man/boy.
@@eddielasowsky7777 imagine you stopped and took a second to think before posting that 😂😂😂
Gifted at losing the ball? Yeah he's right up there.
@@Jie67 i no mate.
what a strange thing for Mr Eddie to say. Wtf
The lord of the wing 💚🍀
What a player.
Ah, British football in the '70s! No players diving, lots of hard tackles, and referees who understood that physical contact was part of the game.
Plenty of careers ruined following those tackles, mud covered pitches where the ball hardly moved, violence and racism on the terraces, unsafe stadiums, yeah, the 'good' old days, not.
And players looking to get the ball forward rather than endless sideways and backwards passing. So many great Scotland players in the sixties and seventies.
If this is a highlight reel of a celebrated baller then also very few completed passes.
And defendeders with nicknames like Chopper Harris or Norman 'bite your legs' Hunter.
When football shirts weren't advertising hoardings.
a scottish george best !
no higher praise to give.
Tough going against some top defenders
He showed loads of enthusiasm but didn't have the ball under control very often.
Absolutely terrific wee player. I still have nightmares of him tormenting the Thistle defence time after time.
He looked like a little ginger runt but he was a wee dancer in a time of hard men. Another Scottish football legend from the glory years.
One of the greatest dribblers in the history of football. Superb!
Edit: You should share your videos on the pages on the clubs these legends played for, my friend, I have just put links to this on twitter on a couple of pages, so hopefully a few other Celtic fans will see. Keep up the good work!
I watched Johnstone play a few times. OK if you think beating 5 player an end up in the same spot, with no ability to cross is great,
Go global ask a Italian a Spaniard a Brazilian who was Jimmy Johnston was they would not have a clue
@@patrickkelly7085 nor would they know who John Robertson is. Johnston and Robertson were both top level European wingers in their respective eras
@@sagahammer He won the European Cup aged 22 .. you type lies on youtube.
Eddie Gray was up there with the best during that era only injuries preventing him being as good as George Best.
Scotland cant even muster a village team. They are completely hopeless. Going back to 1971 to show something says it all.
Bring back the home internationals
Back in the 70's they used large strange orange looking balls. It was bad for players heading that massive heavy ball. I'm glad the technology has improved these days to have better lighter more aerodynamic balls.
Celtic greatest ever player Jinky rip wee man wish a could see you play live 🍀🍀🍀🍀👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Jimmy looks a great stylist ..Lovely looking player ..Would be amazing in this era ..You Scots had great plyers .Welsh .
There has been a big improvement in skill levels over the years this video Just shows how crap they were at football in those days.
bloke is just gliding along almost like hes floating
There was never enough end product.
Do you think you could do an all touches and actions video of Jimmy vs Real Madrid 1967, the Di Stefano testimonial???
He had a great game.
I haven't been able to find the game itself aside from a few 5+ minute highlights. If you know where to find it, do point me to it, I'll gladly do it.
A friendly .... with no Peter Storey reducer.
Jinky had a wee stanley Mathews comic detailing ribbling moves.he studied it till it fell apart then put the moves into action time and time again.
Man U could use someone like him now!!
Jinky was legendary etc but his light was starting to fade here.
70/71 was a season where he'd excelled at club level.
After that he steadily declined and was in the American soccer league four years later.
Alcohol problems then Motor neurone disease meant he died just 61 yrs old.
Imagine if he was playing on modern pitches with a modern ball😱
With that touch and giving the ball away cheaply time after time take the rose tinted glasses off.
@@pocolol8424
I guarantee you modern players would give the it away a hell of a lot more with those balls & pitches
Rest in Peace ,wee man
I have no idea, because I dont play it, but surely the wee man should be a FIFA legend? Is that how it works?
What Gallup’s wingers we had then Jimmy Willie Johnstone and Willie Henderson
And Morgan wasn’t half bad as well! Yet another Willie)
Very true agree with you as I say we was spoiled for good wingers
Went to this match aged nine!
A fine wee player from a time when Scottish football meant something on worldwide basis. That said, the only real moment from this clip is at about 2.30, where he twists Terry Cooper’s blood and even makes Sir Bobby get his shorts dirty! An achievement in itself.
Richard diver, that was true. Terry cooper must have hated wee jinky by this time. Sure in 1970 at hampden in the european cup semi-final wee jinky gave terry cooper a right roasting all night, its one if not the best i have seen a winger ever make a left back look so bad as if cooper had never played football before. I can clearly remember cooper trying to kick jinky or make a tackle and cooper completely missesd the player altogether never mind the ball and kicked fresh air and spin around and fell, wich i did too when i was age 9. And when cooper did it we were all howling with laughter it was just so funny. Then jinky went past cooper and lorimer as he cut inside and made cooper and lorimer run into each other hard. But they had to play on they were getting slaughterd out there as it was. Bremners goal was a peach. And so was that very low header by bobby murdoch, that was a great header that one. 139,456 thousand were there that night, and the rest!
Two Great teams during that era coming face to face Shame it wasn't the final.
Is this a wind-up? Every time he got the ball in this video, he gave it away. He was a great player, but you wouldn't think so by looking at this.
He had the right idea, others had to be on his wavelength for it to work at the top level.
And here it didn’t.
he had no idea thats why he kept passing to england
