THE LISBON LIONS
COLLECTION
Issued November 2006
40TH
ANNIVERSARY PLAYING CARDS
Limited Edition
On the 25th of May 2007 it will be 40 years since Billy McNeill and the other Lisbon Lions became the first British team to win the famous European Cup. In recognition of this milestone in Celtic's history the club produced several collectables, including a set of playing cards in a special presentation box. The set comes in a metal box with a lid that is embossed with a black and white photograph of the famous Lisbon Lions. The metal box comes in a carboard sleeve (shown at the bottom of the page.) The set costs £11.99 and can be bought at any of the Celtic shops or online. Four different teams are actually included in the gold gilt edged cards - the Lisbon Lions, the 1988 Celtic Centenary team, the current team (just qualified as one of the last 16 in this season's Champions League and for the first time under the current format) and the greatest ever Celts. Four of the cards are shown in the image below. |
