Celtic great & Lisbon Lion Clark dies aged 84
Briefly

Celtic Football Club has honored the passing of John Clark, a prominent member of the historic 1967 Lisbon Lions team that first brought the European Cup to Britain. Throughout his impressive career spanning over 300 matches, Clark secured a total of 15 major honors, including six league titles. His remarkable legacy remains tied to that iconic victory against Inter Milan in Lisbon, a milestone that solidified his status as a football great. Manager Brendan Rodgers encapsulated this sentiment, describing the term 'greatness' as particularly apt for Clark's contributions.
"'Greatness' is a word people throw around, but for John Clark it is a very fitting tribute," said Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers. John was part of the historic team that made Celtic the first British side to win the European Cup, marking an unforgettable moment in football history."
"In over 300 games for Celtic, John Clark won 15 major honors, including six league titles. However, his greatest achievement came in 1967 when Celtic defeated Inter Milan in Lisbon."
