Lisbon Lion, John Fallon, was with the Hoops from 1959 till 1971. The Cambuslang-born goalkeeper was part of the world-renowned squad that won the European Cup in 1967. He told Glasgow Live: “Sport is something that should be accessible to all; that first glimpse of the stadium, seeing your favourite players step out, watching a goal being scored.

“Thank you to everyone who organised or took part in the day. They’ve all done their bit for keeping football free for kids.”
