GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — Tommy Gemmell, the Celtic great who scored one of the goals that helped the Scottish club win the European Cup in 1967, has died after a long illness. He was 73.
Celtic announced the death of Gemmell on Tuesday, saying the full back was a "true legend."
Gemmell scored the equalizer and played a key part in Stevie Chalmers' winning goal as Celtic beat Inter Milan 2-1 in Lisbon to become the first British team to win the European Cup. He also scored in Celtic's 2-1 loss to Feyenoord in the European Cup final in 1970.
