OT: Jinky Johnstone
For those of you with Sky+
On Anytime TV (press TVGuide then the red button) they are currently showing
"Jimmy Johnstone - Lord Of The Wing" untill May 16th.
Well worth watching whoever you support, I watched it last night as there
was nowt on, and I was thoroughly glad that I did.
As a Rangers fan, its not very likely that I would buy or borrow a Celtic
Player DVD, so this was a great chance for me to get the story on the wee
man. I've never really seen *that* much footage of him as a player, just the
odd snippet on tv now and again.
Seeing extended footage of him playing in that documentary ... he really was
an *amazing* player!
The way he would beat a man, then drop his shoulder and swivel past him one
way then another, beating him for fun - He WAS the Ronaldinho of his time!
That's who he reminded me of.
There's many funny and informative interviews, and Billy Connolly does the
commentary expertly with the right amount of seriousness and humour.
So if you have a spare 90 minutes one night, go and watch it!
biz
PS : There's a coffee-spluttering moment (maybe about half an hour in) where
Billy Connolly is talking about the new manager, and his technical tactical
genius. Jock Stein is shown pointing to a tactics board, and the players are
sitting around the dressing room....
Connolly:
"Big Jock KNEW ..*pause*.. exactly HOW to get his players playing..."
