Bertie Auld’s family have put the collection under the hammer, including the jersey he swapped following Celtic’s famous 1967 European Cup win.
The football shirt “Lisbon Lion” Bertie Auld swapped during Celtic’s historic European Cup win in 1967 is among jerseys being auctioned by his family in a sale expected to fetch about £100,000.
Picchi was a legend of the game in Italy and experts at McTear’s auction house in Glasgow estimate the Inter Milan shirt could sell for between £20,000 and £30,000.The collection also includes the jersey of Dutch star Rinus Israel, of Feyenoord, which was swapped following Celtic’s ill-fated European Cup final clash on May 6 1970.
“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 1960s and early 70s.“He always said he never had any regrets in life, although he did admit that he could have scored four against Inter in the 1967 final.
“As we look to expand the charity’s activities, we are looking to support a number of other good causes, including research into dementia.”
