Late Celtic Lisbon Lion legend's 1970 jersey sells for 30 times its value in auction

A Celtic jersey worn by one of the club's all-time greats has smashed expectations by selling for 30 times its value at auction.

The late Lisbon Lion Tommy Gemmell's match-worn home top from 1970 went under the hammer this week at Graham Budd Auctions' latest sports memorabilia auction.

Auctioneers estimated the shirt would fetch between £400-£600 at the event on June 6 and 7. Eyebrows were raised, however, as the green and white jersey attracted a closing bid of £12,000 - a figure 30 times that of its lower valuation.
