Jock Stein and the Lisbon Lions

The Lisbon Lions is the nickname given to the Glasgow Celtic team that won the European Cup at the Estádio Nacional in Lisbon, Portugal on May 25, 1967, defeating Inter Milan 2-1. All the members of this team were born within 30 miles (48 km) of Glasgow, Scotland. [1] Celtic's style was the antithesis of the cynical, but highly effective, defensive style of Internazionale. Jimmy Johnstone described the team's style as "like the Dutch speeded-up."
