From the Herald

CELTIC legend Bobby Lennox was asked by a fellow diner at a testimonial dinner for Danny McGrain what he thought about the metatarsal fractures suffered by David Beckham and Wayne Rooney. "In my day," said the Lisbon Lion, "you didn't have metatarsals."

He did, though, explain the unusual healing skills of Celtic physio Bob Rooney when Bobby once struggled to see properly after heading the ball and getting grit in his eye. Bob told him to lie still and then licked the grit from his eyeball.

"What did he do for groin injuries?" asked a brave diner.

Ha Ha

Yours in Celtic
