Willie Maley

Willie Maley est une chanson qui retrace la glorieuse histoire du Celtic, des fondations au 19e siècle à Henrik Larsson, en passant par le 7-1 en coupe de la ligue 57 et bien entendu par le sacre à Lisbonne en 67 !

Oh Willie Maley was his name
He brought some great names to the game
When he was the boss at Celtic Park.
He taught them how to play football
He made the greatest of them all
Gallagher and Quinn have left their mark !

Refrain:
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay
And most of the football greats
Have passed through Parkhead's gates
All to play football the Glasgow Celtic way !

In '38 there was a show
And Glasgow was the place to go
A model of the Tower was football's prize
England sent four of the bes
They didn't meet with much success
Because the trophy ended up in Paradise !

(Refrain)

Well Coronation time was here
Fifty three, that was the year
Another four from England met their doom
They said we'll have to try again
But like before it was in vain
Because the Cup is in the Parkhead trophy room !

(Refrain)

And then in 1957
We faced a guy called Gorgie Nevin
The game is etched on every Celtic fan
With Wilson, Mochan and Mc Phail
And Willie Fernie scored as well
As Celtic beat the Rangers 7-1 !

(Refrain)

So 10 years they had gone
To Portugal we had to go
To play the team that Italy adored
Celtic went out to attack
They won the Big Cup and they brought it back
It's the first time it had been on British shores !

(Refrain)

And now a new Millennium we have a brand new stadium
We're amongst the honours once again
The Celtic fans did proudly sing
Larsson is the King of Kings
And he joins the list of famous Celtic men !

(Refrain)
