Jimmy Johnstone - Lord Of The Wing DVD

| DVD

'Wee Jinky' Johnstone became a Celtic idol through his fiery performances and his matching flaming red hair. Born in Viewpark Lanarkshire in 1944 Johnstone's talent was evident from an early age. When he was 13 he was approached by Manchester United while playing for the Boys' Guild in Viewpark but Celtic Park's chief scout John Higgins stepped in and offered Johnstone a ballboy job at Parkhead. He signed for Celtic soon after and was farmed out to Blantyre Celtic for a couple of years where his skills made an instant impression. This documentary charts the football... career of Jimmy 'Jinky' Johnstone a Celtic and Scotland hero of the '60s and '70s. In what he describes as 'an immense honour' Billy Connolly narrates the true-life story of one of the sporting world's greatest icons: a man known as 'the flea' in the East and 'Jinky' in the West this is a tale of exhilaration and desperation of joy and immense sadness; of a man who had the world literally at his feet until that world turned upside down.
