CELTIC legend Sean Fallon has died at the age of 90. Sean passed away peacefully earlier this morning (Friday), surrounded by his family.
Sean was a much-loved husband, father and grandfather, and he was also held in the highest esteem by the Celtic Family. Sean, a proud Irishman, was a wonderful and faithful servant of Celtic over many years, first as a player, making 254 appearances and scoring 14 goals, and then as assistant to Jock Stein during a golden era for the club.
Sean was also responsible for bringing many great players to Celtic much as Tommy Gemmell, Danny McGrain, Kenny Dalglish, Davie Hay, Lou Macari and Pat Bonner.
Celtic chief Executive Peter Lawwell said; “This is very, very sad news and our thoughts are with Sean’s wife, Myra, their children Marie-Therese, Louise, Collette, Siobhan, Sean and Sinead, and all of Sean’s family and many friends.
“Sean Fallon was a Celtic legend who devoted much of his life to the club he loved. He was, of course, a supporter, first and foremost, and he was proud to have worn the green and white Hoops that he loved.
“He did so with fearless distinction over eight years in the 1950s, and Sean was at the heart of all of our triumphs, including that famous 7-1 League Cup victory in 1957.
“Ten years later, he was part of our greatest ever success, winning the European Cup in Lisbon. Working alongside Jock Stein, Sean helped to deliver that trophy, along with nine consecutive league titles and numerous other trophies. He was an integral part of the club’s success, and also played a vital role in identifying talented young players who would go on to become great Celts.
“He was a gentleman with a great sense of humour, and always a welcome guest here at Celtic Park. And there could have been no more fitting person to unveil the championship flag at this start of this, our 125th anniversary season, than a man who gave so much to Celtic Football Club.
“Sean will be sadly missed but he will never be forgotten for what he did for our club.”
Celtic manager, Neil Lennon said: “We are all shocked and saddened to hear of Sean’s death, and the thoughts of all the players and management are with his family.
“Sean was a great Celtic man, and it’s been a privilege to meet him over the years. He was always a very humble man when you met him, even though his achievements in the game were extraordinary.
“He did everything you could ever wish to achieve in football, as a player for both club and country, while he went to even greater things in management alongside Jock Stein. For these things, the Celtic supporters have always loved Sean and recognised him as one of our own because it was always his great love of Celtic which shone through.
“It was a fitting tribute that Sean unveiled the championship flag back in August and the welcome he received from the supporters spoke volumes. We will all miss him.”
The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Celtic, and indeed, the entire Celtic Family, are with Sean’s family at this very sad time.[/h]
Rest In Peace Sean, YNWA.

Sean on his 90th birthday in July
FIFA President expresses sympathy for Sean Fallon
By: Mark Henderson on 23 Jan, 2013
FIFA President Sepp Blatter has offered his sympathies following the recent passing of Sean Fallon in a letter to Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell.
A Requiem Mass for the Celtic great was held this morning at Christ the King Church in Kings Park, with the funeral taking place at Phillipshill Cemetery in East Kilbride.
A number of players past and present were at the service, including many of the Lisbon Lions. Manager Neil Lennon, Chief Executive, Peter Lawwell, and a host of other club directors also attended.
Eulogies were read by Sean Fallon junior and Manchester United manager, Alex Ferguson, a long-time friend of the Irishman.
And the FIFA President has also added his condolences on behalf of the international football family, highlighting the esteem Sean Fallon was held in across the globe for what he achieved at his beloved Celtic.
He said: "In addition to a successful career as a player for Celtic, Mr Fallon will also be remembered for his great technical knowledge as assistant manager of Celtic during the Jock Stein era, fulfilling a role that is of such vital importance to the game, namely identifying and nurturing young talent.
"Youth development work such as that carried out by Mr Fallon to such good effect continues to be important to this day, and he will have been pleased to note the emergence of several young talents in recent years, who have most certainly played their part in Celtic’s recent success, most notably in the Champions League.
“On behalf of the members of the international football family, I should be extremely grateful if you could extend our deepest condolences to Mr Fallon’s family, friends and loved ones.”
This is a friends nephew, needless to say they are all chuffed. There was interest from Spuds, Uni**d, and MCFC to mention a few. good luck Brandon.

Has anybody heard the story about danny wilson being ineligable for saturdays league cup semi final against inverness?
Does the mean that the SFA will have to boot the mini huns out of the final?
Lets hope this is the case and after a bad result weekend it could mean that there is a light at the end off this weeks tunnel

This is from the Daily Ran*ers, with a few words edited :(
INVERNESS have been told that The Diet Huns defender Danny Wilson was eligible for their semi-final clash on Saturday despite leaving the Zombies with an outstanding League Cup suspension.
Wilson was sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity when the Zombies won the 2010 final against St Mirren and was automatically suspended for his next game in the competition.
Wilson signed for Liverpool three months later before the Zombies began the defence of their trophy and left without serving the suspension.
He returned to Scotland this month on a loan deal and made his second Diet Huns appearance as John McGlynn's side beat Inverness on penalties at Easter Road to reach the Scottish Communities League Cup final.
An Inverness statement read: "We have spoken to the SFA disciplinary committee who have confirmed that Danny was eligible to play on Saturday.
"This was checked out by The Diet Huns and the SPL prior to Saturday's game.
"There was no notice of suspension accompanying his registration paperwork when he returned from Liverpool FC."

I read on twitter that the ban was served whilst he was at liverpool in the first game off the season.
Apparently the way it works is that if he'd signed for another scottish club when he left oldco, then the suspension would have been served in the league cup, but since he went down south then the suspension became any competitive competition in England. So he missed Liverpool first game of that season this making the suspension served.
How correct that is i dont know but seems to make sense.
I initially thought that he would only be suspended in the english league cup which is incidently what he made his liverpool debut in i think it was against northampton.
The english FA run a suspended for the next game in any competion rather than what scottish FA did and individually suspend him from that tournament.
