LISBON LION legend Tommy Gemmell spent 10 trophy-laden years at Celtic, making 418 appearances and scoring 64 goals. He won six league titles, three Scottish Cups, four League Cups and the pinnacle being the European Cup triumph over Inter Milan in 1967 …

JOHN (Royston) – Tommy Gemmell’s record of being the first Scot to score in two European Cup finals will unlikely ever be repeated. Can you remind me of his achievements and let me know which other Scots have scored in a European Final?

Tommy’s remarkable record began in Lisbon in 1967. Celtic played the Italian champions Inter Milan in the final of the European Cup.

Inter were the clear favourites and were expected to win but Celtic had other ideas. Celtic’s attacking style of play shocked Inter.

Tommy scored a second-half thunderbolt to equalise after Mazzola had scored for Inter from the penalty spot.

Then Stevie Chalmers scored a fully deserved winner for Celtic and they became the Champions of Europe.

Tommy Gemmell had actually scored Celtic’s first goal in that European campaign against Zurich.

In 1970 Celtic reached their second European Cup Final against Feyenoord at the San Siro Stadium.

In the semi-final Celtic had demolished the English champions Leeds United 3-1 on aggregate.

In Milan, Tommy scored the opener for Celtic with another screamer from outside the box.

Feyenoord fought back and scored through Israel and Kindvall to lift the trophy.

As well as Tommy Gemmell and Stevie Chalmers in that Lisbon final, Kenny Dalglish (Liverpool), John Robertson (Nottingham Forest) and Graeme Souness (penalty shoot-out, Liverpool) have scored in European Cup finals.

JIM (Dennistoun) – It was sad to hear that another Lisbon Lion legend, Tommy Gemmell, has passed away. My dad told me that he played for Dundee and captained them to a cup victory against Celtic. Can you give me the details?

Tommy Gemmell played 418 times for Celtic and scored 64 goals. He was capped 18 times for Scotland and scored one goal from the penalty spot against Cyprus in an 8-0 win.

After spells at Nottingham Forest and Miami Toros he signed for Dundee in July 1973.

On December 15, 1973, he captained Dundee to a 1-0 victory in the League Cup final at a wintry Hampden Park.

Only 27,000 fans braved the conditions to see Gordon Wallace score the winning goal.

Tommy later went on to manage Dundee for about three years.
