Celtic Family pays tribute to Stevie Chalmers
LAST Wednesday, the Celtic Family said an emotional final farewell to Stevie Chalmers, the scorer of Celtic’s most famous goal, who passed away the previous week at the age of 83.
The Funeral Requiem Mass was held at Saint Mary’s Church, Calton, the same parish out of which Celtic Football Club was founded on November 6, 1887.
In a packed church, Stevie’s family and friends gathered to mourn the loss of, and to remember a great man. Celtic directors and staff were in attendance, as was Neil Lennon and the Celtic first-team squad.
Many supporters joined fellow mourners inside the church, and special mention was paid to Stevie’s team-mate and captain Billy McNeill, whose funeral was held at St Aloysius’ Church in Glasgow the previous Friday.
There were also many Celtic legends in attendance, most notably Stevie’s friends and fellow Lisbon Lions, John Clark, Bertie Auld, Jim Craig, Bobby Lennox, John Fallon, John Hughes and Charlie Gallagher.
