Once the game starts, the players have to use their initiative. That was what Tommy Gemmell was doing when, after 63 minutes of the final, he streaked upfield to latch on to a pass from Jim Craig. It was taboo, under Jock's instructions, for both full-backs to be attacking in the opposing team's half but Tommy, as a good, thinking footballer, had judged that the Italians were not enough of a goalscoring threat for it to be a problem for him to join the attack. It had always looked to me, throughout the match, as though Bobby or Bertie or Tam would score from the edge of the box and that was exactly what happened, with Tommy smacking a fine 20-yard shot past Sarti's right shoulder for our equaliser.|author=Lennox, Bobby|work=The Daily Telegraph|date=25 May 2007|accessdate=29 April 2011|title=The Italians sat back and we hunted them down}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=sco/news/newsid=1624437.html?rss=1624437+Celtic+saddened+by+O%27Neill%27s+death|title=Celtic saddened by O'Neill's death|publisher=UEFA|date=28 April 2011|accessdate=28 April 2011}} 6. ^1 {{NeilBrownPlayers|player7/willieo%27neill}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.londonhearts.com/SFL/players/willieoneil.html|title=Willie ONeil|work=Londonhearts.com|publisher=London Hearts Supporters' Club|accessdate=15 December 2011}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2011/0428/celtic.html|title=Lisbon Lion O'Neill passes away|publisher=RTÉ Sport|date=28 April 2011|accessdate=28 April 2011}} External links
