Celtic icon Fallon hailed

Many tributes have been paid to Celtic legend and former Ireland international Sean Fallon, who has died at the age of 90.

As assistant to manager Jock Stein, Sligo native Fallon will forever be associated in the club’s history with the famous Lisbon Lions side which won the European Cup by beating Inter Milan in the 1967 final in Portugal.

Fallon, who won eight caps for Ireland, also played with Celtic from 1950 to 1958, as a full-back and centre-forward, making 254 appearances and scoring 14 goals. He won a Scottish League medal, three Scottish Cups and one Scottish League Cup with the club before retiring through injury.
