The Lisbon Lions - Celtic FC


The Lisbon Lions who ran and ran
Jock Stein's men put on quite the show
Matching Inter man to man
All from the borders of Glasgow

Cappellini felled as Craig got intense
Mazzola fired in the pen 
Inter retreated into a cocoon like defence
As it looked much like boys versus men

Gemmell levelled from Craig’s lace
Murdoch shot for Chalmers to score
The crowd bayed for the countdown race
As the Lions got ready to roar

History! hold on to that ticket stub
Bhoys joyous in Lisbon town
Becoming the very first British club 
To lift that coveted crown
