John Clark: The quiet Lisbon Lion who helped Celtic roar in Europe

From player to coach, assistant manager to kit man, the defender from Lanarkshire served the Parkhead club in eight decades before his death at the age of 84. His main honours from over 300 games played for Celtic are four league championship medals, three Scottish Cup gongs, four League Cup final triumphs and, of course, the European Cup medal for the 2-1 win over Inter Milan in Lisbon in 1967. Clark, though, was well known for his modesty. He said: 'I never wanted any of that (fame or celebrity). It wasn't me. I preferred being in the background.' He was born on March 13, 1941 in Bellshill and was brought up in Chapelhall and Holytown. Aged just 10, his railwayman dad John was killed by a train. Clark told the Herald: 'He'd been working on the tracks and a signal was supposed to operate, but it never did. The train appeared from nowhere and killed him instantly. 'It left my mother (Lilly) a widow, with two young kids, and six months pregnant with another. I'll never forget that day.' As he grew up, Celtic were his team. John made his Celtic debut in 1959 and would go on to make well over 300 appearances in the hoops, with his finest hour coming in the heat of Lisbon in May, 1967. While John was one of our greatest, he never saw himself as that, his own humility never allowing him to do so 💚🦁 — Celtic Football Club (@CelticFC) June 23, 2025 'The first major game I first saw Celtic was against Clyde at Hampden in the Scottish Cup final in 1955 – and Celtic lost the replay,' he told the club's website. 'When I left school, the first game I can remember was Celtic against Manchester United at Celtic Park. 'It took place in the afternoon because it was in our pre-floodlight days. I had just got a job, it was my first day at work and I asked if I could get away early. 'Luckily the guy was a Celtic supporter and let me away, as you wouldn't get many people letting you away on your first day in the job. 'So I managed to go and watch the Busby Babes. And the year before I signed for Celtic I was on the Hampden terracing for the 7-1 game (against Rangers). Those are the games that stick out.' Clark played for Larkhall Thistle before he signed for the Hoops as a 17-year-old in 1958, making his debut in a 5-0 win at Arbroath a year later. However, it the 1960-61 season that he made his mark as a left-half with Jock Stein, who arrived in 1965 to revolutionise the Parkhead club. Clark was switched to sweeper beside captain Billy McNeill and became a lynchpin of the side, integral to their relentless success for the rest of the decade. His final game for Celtic came on May 1, 1971 when Stein brought the Lisbon Lions together to take a final bow at Celtic Park in a 6-1 win against Clyde (Ronnie Simpson's shoulder injury meant he was involved only in the warm up). He left Celtic for Morton in the summer of 1971 with team-mate Stevie Chalmers and he retired there two years later. For all his success at Parkhead, Clark earned only four caps for Scotland, making his debut against Pele's Brazil in 1966 at Hampden Park where the game ended in a 1-1 draw. He also played European Championship qualifiers against Wales and Northern Ireland the same year with his final appearance in dark blue coming against Russia in 1967. After finishing playing with Morton, Clark returned to Parkhead as a coach in 1973, helping with the youths and reserves before joining former defensive partner McNeill as his assistant manager at Aberdeen and Celtic. Clark went into management himself and had spells with Cowdenbeath, Stranraer and Clyde in the 1980s and early 90s before returning to Celtic Park as a kit man in 1997. He was a fixture at the Celtic's Lennoxtown training complex where he would see players come and go, many not initially familiar with the club great. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of John Clark following his passing today. A Celtic stalwart and beloved member of the Lisbon Lions, John was also capped by Scotland during a glittering playing career. — Scottish FA (@ScottishFA) June 23, 2025 In a Daily Record interview in 2014, he said: 'Well, I don't go about telling them. But the players spread the word. They will come up and ask if it's true. 'If they are down in my room I just show them the photograph of us with the European Cup. I'll say to them, 'There have been big changes since then but take a look at that. The thing in the middle with the big handles is the thing you'll always want to win. I won it!'.' Clark treasured his life-long association with the club. 'I was a Celtic supporter, a Celtic player, it's been my life,' he said in a matchday programme interview. 'I get a lot of satisfaction when I think that I started my working life with Celtic and I'll finish it with them. I've really enjoyed my life. When I look back I couldn't ask for any more. I've been a really lucky guy.'

Tottenham chief 'placed on gardening leave' as summer shake-up continues after Ange Postecoglou's sacking and Thomas Frank's appointment

Tottenham 's chief football officer has reportedly been placed on gardening leave amid a summer of upheaval at the club. The Europa League champions sacked Ange Postecoglou earlier this month despite the Australian leading Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years in Bilbao. Postecoglou had been dismissed exactly two years to the day he was hired, with Tottenham's board highlighting their dismal domestic campaign as key to their decision. Thomas Frank was named as Postecoglou's successor as head coach, with chairman Daniel Levy and chief executive Vinai Venkatesham speaking publicly on the decision to appoint the former Brentford boss. Venkatesham has officially begun his role this summer with the former Arsenal executive joining a Tottenham board which had lost Daniel Levy's 'right-hand woman' Donna-Maria Cullen, who left the club after 20 years. The summer of change has continued with Football London reporting Tottenham's chief football officer Scott Munn has been placed on gardening leave ahead of his departure. Munn arrived from the City Football Group's Chinese branch in 2023, joining the same year as Postecoglou. He was appointed the Chief Executive Officer of City Football Group in China back in 2019 and had previously worked for nine years with A-League side Melbourne City FC as their Chief Executive Officer. The Australian also had extensive experience working outside of football, starting his career within the Sydney Organising Committee for the 2000 Olympic Games, before moving to work with the National Rugby League and the Australian Football League. The 51-year-old has been a background figure, charged with shaking up and streamlining various departments. He led the review that ended with the exit of long-serving head of medicine Geoff Scott last year, but Tottenham's injuries only worsened last season. Postecoglou had been forced to make do without many of his first team regulars after an unprecedented injury crisis which has particularly hit his defensive line. Munn's name had been notably absent when Frank spoke about Tottenham's structure when spoke for the first time as the new head coach last week, with the Dane referencing Levy, Venkatesham and technical director Johan Lange. 'I had very good conversations and meetings with (Daniel Levy, Vinai Venkatesham, and Johan Lange) where we discussed everything in depth - details about the Club structure, processes - and of course I came with my views on things, how I saw it, my ideas, and the way I want to do things and how I try to build a team and a club,' Frank said. Former managing director of football Fabio Paratici has also been tipped to return to the club 'Of course, it's not just me. I think it's very important to say: yes, the Head Coach is an important person, but if I don't have good people around me, it's impossible. You can't do anything alone, in my opinion. 'If you want to do something quick, you can go alone. If you want to do something big or achieve something big, you go together. So, it's definitely about doing things together - me, the staff, the players. 'I think alignment is key - from top to bottom. Of course it starts from Daniel, Vinai, Johan, and me - and the more the four of us can be aligned, just like a unit, an unbreakable unit, the stronger we'll be.' Former managing director of football Fabio Paratici has also been tipped to return to Tottenham this summer, with his worldwide football ban due to expire on July 20. Paratici had left the club in 2023 after an appeal against a two-and-a-half-year FIFA ban for alleged financial irregularities dating back to his spell at Juventus was rejected. The Italian has helped Tottenham on a consultancy basis, after parts of his ban had been lifted by FIFA. According to the Telegraph, Paratici's consultancy contract will run until the end of the summer transfer window.

Osaka earns first grass win of the season with victory over qualifier Danilovic

BAD HOMBURG, Germany, June 23 (Reuters) - Four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka fired 16 aces past Serbian qualifier Olga Danilovic to earn a 7-6(6) 7-6(4) victory at the Bad Homburg Open on Monday for her first win on grass this season less than a week before the start of Wimbledon. The 27-year-old Japanese player, who had lost in the first round at her last two tournaments -- the French Open and the Berlin Open -- had won her first title in May in almost two years following a maternity break. Osaka, who had reached the third round of the Australian Open in January before retiring injured, has not had back-to-back wins on any surface since the Italian Open in May. She is currently ranked 56th in the world. "It's my first grasscourt win of the year," Osaka said. "I am excited about that. I am super excited to play here and be back for my next round." Asked whether she was on track to improve her form on the surface, she said: "I hope so. I think I have potential but everyone is really good so I cannot take it for granted." The pair held serve to take the first set into a tiebreak where Osaka snatched it on her second set point. Osaka was 40-0 up on her opponent's serve at 2-2 in the second set but she could not bag the first break of either player in the match, with Danilovic holding serve with her eighth ace of the match. Osaka, however, got the mini-break she needed in the tiebreak when she challenged a Danilovic first serve that was then ruled out, with the qualifier then double-faulting. She held on to that slim advantage to earn a spot in the round of 16 where she will face fifth-seed Emma Navarro. Russian eighth-seed Ekaterina Alexandrova also eased into the next round with a 6-1 6-2 win over Swiss Belinda Bencic. Croatia's Donna Vekic made equally light work of sixth seed southpaw Diana Shnaider for a 6-3 6-3 victory. Clara Tauson of Denmark needed to work harder and battle from a set down before snatching a 6-7(6) 6-3 6-3 against Poland's Magdalena Frech.
