MATCH 42 - 3 November 1982 FLASHBACK

SEASON: 1982/83
UEFA EUROPEAN CUP 2nd Round 2nd Leg
Venue:  CELTIC PARK

33 YEARS AGO

CELTIC    2    REAL SOCIEDAD    1

From a memorable season of all out attacking football from Billy McNeill's side.  

Only my 2nd European match.  Watched from the Front Stand across from a packed "Jungle" with the Sociedad fans in the Upper Stand behind me and 54,000 Celtic fans hoping to see Celtic turn around a 2-0 deficit.  However as soon as Real scored an early away goal the task was too great.  Murdo McLeod did score twice to at least win the tie on the night.

Celtic team:  Bonner, McGrain, Reid (Burns), Aitken, McAdam, Sinclair, Provan (McCluskey), McStay, McGarvey, McLeod, Nicholas
