Speaking to Jim White on Tuesday, Auld said: Billy was a born leader.I met him when he first turned 17, Jock Steinsigned him for Celtic and I promise you, even at that time, he has that presence about him.He was 6ft 2in and Im only 5ft 8in, so I had to look up to him!He was a true professional. The great thing about him was that he was always pleasant off the park, and yet on the park he would change immediately.A statue of Billy McNeill holding the European Cup proudly stands outside Celtic Park3

He had everything in his locker: height, build, attitude.He was a captain. Jock made him captain as a very young man because he was a leader.He was somebody you could approach, he always gave everyone a lot of respect.Billy represented the players when it came to big Jock and Celtic Football Club. He was always fighting our corner. Not that we needed it, but he was there if we ever needed anything straightened out.Thats the kind of man he was. He was always there for you.
