I've put a message on the talk page of the user in question, which is usually worth doing in cases like this. Let's see what happens. DJ Clayworth 19:17, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Famous Quotes

(Please note that I am not sure of the accuracy of such quotes, and any updates and other quotes are welcomed)

I think that this is a good idea, Paddy. Just verify the quotes first, so that you can prove that he really said them, then put them back in the article. Oh and we only sign stuff that we add to this discussion page -- not stuff that we put in the main article. Cheers -- Derek Ross | Talk 07:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

I do apologise I am new to this and this is the first thing I have updated, I admit I should have read some Frequently asked questions and some rules or guidelines first, I sincerely apologise.

I will find it difficult to produce hard evidence, however I am 110% sure he did say them, but I will try anyway.

First quote "Celtic Jerseys are not for second best, They don't shrink to fit inferior players" Jock Stein is mentioned in a lot of Celtic supporters' websites, and is a quote I have heard various times. The fact that shirts with this quote are being sold does mean that this quote has a historic significance. Not The View (Celtic Fanzine).

Other websites which feature this quote include the Jock Stein's Celtic Supporters Club in Melbourne (Australia)


On the second quote, the fact that even the Liverpool's official website (Bill Shankly, who the quote talks about was arguably the best manager in Liverpool's history) has that quote, in my opinion and interpretation means that this quote is historically recognised by both sets of supporters (Celtic and Liverpool) therefore making it believable and somehow showing it has been said.

Other websites where this quote can be found include This one Another Liverpool Supporters website

I will post all evidence I keep on finding here, and hopefully soon it will be enough for this quotes to be featured on this website.

I think the idea of resources being provided and facts needed to be proved is brilliant, as it makes this website really accurate.

Finally I would like to congratulate everyone for making this website an excellent one, I think it is brilliant and I use it to clear any doubt I may have.

I am still confused, should I signed this here? I will do it just in case.

Another quote which I would like to add.

"We did it by playing football. Pure, beautiful, inventive football". - Jock Stein, Lisbon, 1967 (After wining the European Cup)

  • "There was always talk around Celtic about Torbett and boys, but nothing seemed to be done until Jock Stein found out. He kicked Torbett out, but it was still kept quiet. All the directors and lots of others knew why Torbett got the boot, but it was swept under the carpet."

The Daily Record,John McLuskey former Celtic youth player and brother of former Celtic player George McLuskey in an interview with Anna Smith of the Daily Record 12/08/1996

Who said the above? What date Daily Record? Camillus 21:50, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
As you've made it your life's work to get this quote into the JS article, you're obviously an authority on the subject. Did you find this interview in a library, and if so, which library (in Glasgow)? Camillus 00:37, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
