A group of jerseys collected by Bertie Auld during his illustrious career from a number of iconic footballers has racked up £100,000 during an auction in Glasgow
A group of jerseys collected by one of the iconic Lisbon Lions has sold for £100,000 at an auction in Glasgow.
The Celtic legend's son, Robert , said: “Dad was quite humble about his achievements and didn’t talk too much about the games, but then again, he didn’t need to. The shirts speak for themselves and show how Celtic went from underdogs on the international stage to one of the most dominant forces in Europe during the late 1960’s and early 70’s.
As a mark of rescpect Leeds legend Billy Bremner swapped jerseys with Auld, with that very same shirt fetching £12,000. “The collection paints a detailed picture of Auld’s incredible career, including the runs to both the 1967 and 1970 European Cup Finals. It is a rare thing to see just one shirt from this illustrious period in Celtic’s history come to auction, but to see over a dozen from some of the game’s most famous players, is simply breathtaking. We are delighted with the auction results, which highlight the huge importance of the collection.
