PURE, BEAUTIFUL, INVENTIVE FOOTBALL
By Trialist
Football lovers worldwide continue to deride and ridicule the manner by which “Anti-Football” FC spoiled, stifled, strangled and defended their way to the UEFA Cup Final, by deploying the Wattienaccio's ten men behind the ball boys and playing for penalty kicks against Fiorentina.
Only the Huns and the Laptop Loyalists have attempted but failed to justify the Wattienaccio's killing of the beautiful game.
However, we are reminded of a very famous quotation – from the Greatest Ever Celtic Manager.
“There is not a prouder man than me on God's earth at this moment. Winning was important, aye, but it was the way that we have won that has filled me with satisfaction.
We did it by playing football. Pure, beautiful, inventive football.
There was not a negative thought in our heads. Inter played right into our hands. It's so sad to see such gifted players shackled by a system that restricts their freedom to think and act. Our fans would never accept that sort of sterile approach.
Our objective is always to try to win with style.”
Jock Stein, Lisbon, 25th May 1967. PURE, BEAUTIFUL, INVENTIVE FOOTBALL
