It’s 2 years since Jinky died but he still makes me laugh every day

Russell Leadbetter

EVEN when he was ill with motor neurone disease, Jimmy Johnstone was in the habit of going on a training run through a park near his home. Sometimes, when he stumbled and fell, his condition would make it hard to get up again. Agnes, his wife and eternally patient carer, would set out to bring him back home.

She laughs. "One time I found him standing there. I asked him, What on earth is that sticking out of your head? It's like a television aerial.' He'd fallen in among some branches and a big one had stuck to his head.

Connelly: Jinky The Best Ever

27 October 2007

WHEN I was 15 and on the groundstaff at Celtic Park, I told my mother I wasn't going back to the club and would rather keep on the part-time job I had walking a neighbour's greyhounds in Fife.

I thought walking dogs was preferable to walking in the company of football giants. It was my Celtic-daft father who told me in no uncertain terms I'd be doing nothing of the sort.

Wee Jinky’s CD wings way to top of the charts

THE lyrics tell the story of a troubled man who wants to take "a good sharp axe" to his birthplace and "chop it down like an old dead tree". But in the Dear Green Place yesterday, four of The Lisbon Lions extolled the virtues of a Dirty Old Town.

Bertie Auld, Bobby Lennox, Billy McNeill, and Steve Chalmers were at the Virgin Megastore in Buchanan Street, Glasgow, to sign copies of Jimmy Johnstone's charity CD single which has topped the charts in Scotland.
