John Hughes' passing at the age of 79 has brought sadness and the Celtic legend’s career was celebrated on the Hotline .
Yogi was a member of the club’s greatest-ever squad which lifted the European Cup in Lisbon in 1967 and his life has been cherished by fans from across the country. Hughes is among an elite number of players who have scored more than 100 goals in the Hoops, but it was style and character as much as scoring rate which lifted his popularity.
Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton , said: “It was so sad to hear the passing of John Yogi Hughes. I have fond memories of waiting patiently for the Lisbon Lions squad to emerge from Celtic Park after home games in the 1960s and he was the first autograph to enter my wee black book. Which I treasure to this day.”
