Boab Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Just passed away. Played in the great Dutch team of the seventies and was a European Cup winner in Holland. Done well at Celtic also. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Another victim of dementia, apparently. Seemed a likeable enough bloke when with Celtic. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC01 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Wim Jansen. Seemed an OK bloke. I don't remember him coming across as an ******* like some of their managers. I don't have a bad word to say about him. Sad news for his family, friends, ex-clubs, supporters. My condolences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

been here before Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Nutmegged by Archie in 78 before he chipped the goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Салатные палочки Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Quite funny how he told them to bolt after winning them the double. Signed Larsson as well IIRC. Seemed a decent sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boag1874 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Sad news, too young to remember him at Celtic but you've got to say stopping that 9iar Rangers team in just one season was some achievement. That boy Larsson he signed seemed to do alright for them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTJ Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 He never stayed long anywhere as a manager - maybe Feyenoord where he was very successful. He tended to fall out with Owners etc trying to tell him what to do. I remember a quote where he said he he thought all journalists are complete simpletons so he refused to do interviews - that's why Murdo McLeod got the assistant's job. Murdo put out the cones and did all the media work with zero input to teams/tactics. Got McLeod a job with he BBC when Wim left, of course! Apparently Jock Brown as Director of Football made some suggestions and Wim just walked out on Celtic 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Met him and his family at Haymarket Station, when they came across from the Netherlands for Tommy Burns's funeral. Although a sad occasion, Wimbledon was very happy to talk football. He was indeed a member of both Dutch teams that reached the World Cup Finals of 1974 and 1978. RIP Wim. Condolences to your family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in Argentina are among the most advanced in the world. Upon legalising same-sex marriage on 15 July 2010, Argentina became the first country in Latin America, the second in the Americas, and the tenth in the world to do so.[2] Following Argentina's transition to a democracy in 1983, its laws have become more inclusive and accepting of LGBT people, as has public opinion.[ Likely was illegal when that game was played in 78 Edited January 25, 2022 by Factuer Moi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamstomorrow Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 For some reason I am now thinking of the old song by The Tokens . . . . . The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Aka 'Whimoway.' RIP Wim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
