Bertie Auld had one of the biggest personalities in the Scottish game.
Aside from his achievements on the pitch with Celtic and earning legendary status with a European Cup final victory in Lisbon, his sense of humour won over the hearts of fans.
The always-smiling icon wasn't shy about dropping a one liner, and there are countless stories over the years of his top class banter.
After a trophy-laden career both as a player and manager during spells at Hibs, Birmingham City, Hamilton, Partick Thistle and with his beloved Hoops, Auld will always be remembered by fans after his passing aged 83.
Record Sport takes a look back at some of his best quips that also added to the folklore around the Lisbon Lion.
After signing for Celtic
Auld remembers his mother giving him a “treat” after being handed his first full-time contract by then Parkhead boss Jimmy McGrory – he was allowed to choose which side of the bed he would sleep on.
He wrote in his autobiography: “Well, one of my brothers had a wee bit of a problem holding his water sometimes.
“So I immediately said, ‘I’ll take the shallow end!’”
On beating Inter Milan with a sing song
"The referee was holding us back and Jimmy (Johnstone) said, 'look Bertie, they are like film stars'. I said, 'I know, but can they play?'
"They were looking over because we were all gallus, laughing and joking and hitting each other's shoulders.
"The next bit was just natural (singing) because if you can do it at Firhill why not do it in Lisbon?'
*sings 'It's a grand old team to play for'*
"And the rest is history. We beat them in the tunnel, and then we beat them on the park."
Ahead of derby day
When speaking to Rangers captain John Greig in the tunnel before the clash of the Glasgow giants, Auld remembers being asked: "How much bonus you on today?"
He replied: "£5, how about you?".
Greig quipped back: "Is that all? I'm on £10."
But Auld had the final say with: "Yes, but I am guaranteed £5."
When dealing with referees
Bertie to legendary official Tom 'Tiny' Wharton: “If I call you an a******* Mr Wharton will I get booked?
Wharton: “Yes, Mr Auld. You’d be in trouble.”
Bertie: “What if I just thought you were an a*******, what would happen?”
Wharton: “If you just thought it, nothing would happen.”
Bertie: “Well, Mr Wharton, I think you’re an a*******.”
When being compared to Rangers
On being asked how the 1990’s Rangers team that went on to win Nine In A Row would fair if they were to play a match against the Lions.
Auld replied: “If I’m honest I think it would be a draw, but to be fair most of us are in our sixties!”
