On the 25 May 1967 in Lisbon's National Stadium, Glasgow Celtic defeated the famous Inter Milan 2-1 in the final of the European Champions Cup.

In doing so they became the first British club to win the championship and they did so with an all-out attacking style which at the time changed the face of European football (in stark contrast to the Italian's beloved and ultra-defensive "catenaccio-system").

In addition, they accomplished all this with a team composed soley of Scottish nationals - a feat that will probably never again be repeated.

In the 1966/67 season, Celtic won every competition that they entered.

. Part of a large provide collection, this is a superb, rare and impressive limited edition item of signed Celtic memorabilia.
