EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, as Celtic wives return home to Prestwick Airport in Scotland. The rain pours down upon them, adding a touch of melancholy to their triumphant journey. Their husbands have just secured a historic victory for Celtic, winning 2-1 against Inter Milan in the European Cup Final held in Lisbon, Portugal. On the left stands Mrs Billy McNeil, her face radiating pride and joy for her husband's achievement. To the right is Tommy Gemmell's friend, his elation evident from his beaming smile. The date etched on this photograph is May 27th, 1967 - forever marking it as an iconic moment in football history. The image encapsulates the spirit of unity and support that surrounded these remarkable men known as the "Lisbon Lions" or "Lisbon Lyones". As they step onto Scottish soil once again after their victorious campaign abroad, their loved ones eagerly await them with open arms. This picture serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of both players and supporters alike. It immortalizes not only their triumph but also the enduring bond between family members who stood by them throughout this incredible journey. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, we are reminded of the power of sports to unite communities and bring people together across generations.
