Billy McNeill, the man who captained Celtic’s ‘Lisbon Lions’ to European Cup success in 1967, has died, aged 79.A statement from McNeill’s family confirmed the former defender, who has been suffering with dementia for a number of years, passed away on Monday night.
The #CelticFC Family is mourning the death of Billy McNeill, the clubs greatest ever captain and one of the finest men to have played and managed the Hoops, who has passed away at the age of 79. Rest in peace, Cesar. Youll Never Walk Alone.— Celtic Football Club (@CelticFC) April 23, 2019“It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our father Billy McNeill,” the statement read. “He passed away late last night (Monday, April 22) surrounded by his family and loved ones. He suffered from Dementia for a number of years and fought bravely to the end, showing the strength and fortitude he always has done throughout his life.“We would also like to note our love and appreciation to our mother, Liz, for the care, devotion and love she gave to our father throughout his illness. No one could have done any more.“Whilst this is a very sad time for all the family and we know our privacy will be respected, our father always made time for the supporters so please tell his stories, sing his songs and help us celebrate his life.” McNeill, who spent his entire career with Celtic, is by all definitions of the word, a legend.He made 822 appearances for the Hoops across 18 seasons, winning nine league championships, seven Scottish Cups, six Scottish League Cups, and that famous European Cup in 1967.The Parkhead club won every competition they entered that season, with Jock Stein’s side – who are now known as the ‘Lisbon Lions’ – becoming the first British team to win the European Cup.McNeill, as captain, became the first British footballer to lift the famous trophy after a 2-1 defeat of Helenio Herrera’s Internazionale in Portugal.
