dave.j Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 It seems the Celtic legend is suffering from Alzheimers. For anyone who lives in Newton Mearns and saw him regularly up at the Cross or at the Post Office at Crookfur shops, this sad news probably wont be much of a surprise as over the last couple of years he has deteriorated into a shell of the man many know him as. A legend of the Scottish game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCelt67 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Just after his Champions League draw appearance a few seasons back, which was pretty tough watching him struggle in such a manner, I'd heard he was ill but wasn't aware of just how severe of an illness. Such a horrible thing for anyone to go through. My thoughts are with him and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing made for uncomfortable viewing watching our greatest ever captain and a great man looking an absolute shadow of his former self. Hail Cesar a true great.

the 67 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 A great player and as a man a true gent who had bags of time for supporters.....not like the big time charlies that play just now that have little time for supporters. Sad seeing him looking so frail. Thoughts with Caesar and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenlantern Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 He doesn't look well. I remember seeing him in the club shop doing his book signing a few years back, and he was in fine form. Just sad to see him struggle through this, great man and a proper legend of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbhoy Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I was lucky enough to have met the great man whilst working in a shop on Argyle St Glasgow. Oozed class and dignity when speaking to the fans and a great laugh too. Tragic illness and I know how it feels to lose someone to dementia, my mum recently passed away and was a truly horrific illness to watch someone you love slowly disappear in front of you. Hope the treatments he receives gives months or even years of lucidity amongst loved ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
