Passion for Celtic D I Canio D I Canio

 

Is there not going to be any celebs for this one then?

Could end up quite a competitive match.

 

SPFL Championship Play Off on the same day apparently. He will probably be involved in that seeing as it's on BT.

 

Ah that's a shame.

 

Says on twitter theres been 50k sold so far.

 

WHEN Didier Agathe checked into Paradise 17 years ago, it was start of a lifelong love affair between him and the Celtic supporters, and he can’t wait to play in front of them again at the end in the hotly-anticipated charity match in aid of Celtic FC Foundation.

The former Hoops favourite will be part of the Henrik’s Heroes v Lubo’s Legends fixture on Sunday, May 28 (KO: 2pm), as some favourite names of the past go head-to-head for a worthy cause.

“I’m looking forward to it a lot,” said the 41-year-old. “It will be great to see all the players again and to have the chance to play in a game at Celtic Park is always something special. It will very special for me.

“The link between us and the supporters will never die because love never dies. The relationship between us and the Celtic fans will be there forever. It’s why Celtic is a very special club.

“You can play for Celtic for one season or two seasons but the love between the players and the supporters will always stay. We will get something back from the fans and they will receive something from us as well.

“You can’t describe the feelings of those European nights and hearing the fans singing You’ll Never Walk Alone, it’s just something very special, so to play at Celtic Park again one more time is going to be a privilege for us. I would like to thank everyone who has organised the game and all the supporters who are coming along to the match.”

Agathe had the pleasure to play alongside both Henrik Larsson and Lubo Moravcik, two of the most naturally gifted players ever to grace Paradise.

“They were special players, not just in terms of technical or athletic qualities, we are talking about instinctive players who can do something special all the time,” he explained. “How many important goals did Henrik score with either his left foot or right foot? He was very special.

“When you have these players you can change the game at any time. It’s not something you can learn, you either have it or you don’t.”

Agathe has started building up his fitness for his Celtic Park return – but don’t expect him to show the same blistering pace of his playing days.

“You will see me run in slow motion!” he joked. “I will try my best and hopefully my body will be ready for it. I’m working on a bit just now and running on the beach every day but I need to be careful as I’m getting sore so I need to walk a bit of the way!

“I’m looking forward to the game and it’s a privilege to be part of any Celtic game, especially this one, when you have the chance to do something like this for a good cause and play in front of so many people. Anything you can do for peace and a good cause is a good thing.”

 

Aye it's pish mate.

He would have been one of the first names on the team sheet otherwise.

 

Taking my son to this. He's just a baby and won't be able to appreciate it just now but hopefully when he's older and he learns all about Seville and stopping the 10 he'll be excited when I tell him he was able to see all these guys playing at Celtic Park.

Might even get him a minature bottle of Bucky for the train.

 

I'm taking my bhoys. I would love to take them every week but it's too * expensive. The three of us to this match is only a bawhair dearer than one league ticket.

Can't wait, should be a great day with the open top bus as well, The Lions as well I'm sure. Will be a special day.

 

Is it his first game? Have a great one mate.

 

Great stuff Sean. My dad and sister are coming with me too, I'm sure the bhoys will put on a fantastic show for us.

Aye mate. He's only 5 months old so it'll likely be a few years before I'm able to take him to a first team match, but friendly's like this are a great way to get kids into the stadium and hopefully the interest will grow from there.

My lads obviously too young to understand what's going on at this stage, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take him along to this. Maybe I'll try and encourage his first word to be "Larsson".

Mines arrived this morning, and we ordered them on the 21st march, so all will be cool mate

 

Mines arrived this morning.

If prices for real games were like this we would sell out every week.
