Emotional One Club Man’s Award delivery to Billy McNeill in Glasgow

Emotional One Club Man’s Award delivery to Billy McNeill in Glasgow

Athletic Club have honoured Celtic’s great captain Billy McNeill.

Athletic Club have honoured Celtic’s great captain Billy McNeill, the first British to lift a European Cup, with a visit to Glasgow and the One Club Man Award to his youngest son, Martin.

The event was full of emotion. Jose Angel Iribar, our standard bearer, addressed a few beautiful words of homage to Billy McNeill, seriously ill, in the presence of our director, Aitor Bernardo, and another representative of Celtic.

After touring Celtic Park from top to bottom and delivering the prize in the impressive statue in honour of ‘The Lion of Lisbon’, the red-and-white delegation will maintain contact with the President, Ian Bankier, and some of the survivors of the best Celtic ever.
