Football Referees, Players, Managers and Media | Football Supporters News
Scottish and Welsh football fans gathered to pay tribute to Jock Stein before the international friendly at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday (November 14th).
The former Hibernian, Celtic and Scotland manager died in tragic circumstances in the Welsh capital in September 1985, when he suffered a heart attack at the end of a World Cup qualifier at Ninian Park.
A plaque was placed in Cardiff City's old ground in memory of Stein, who became the first manager to win the European Cup with a British team when Celtic claimed the trophy in 1967.
The plaque has now been moved to the Welsh club's new home and supporters laid wreaths at the gates of the stadium before the match between Wales and Scotland, which finished 3-0 to the home side.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Hamish Husband of the Association of Tartan Army Clubs described Stein as "the greatest figure in Scottish football".
Having started his playing career with Albion Rovers, Stein spent a brief period with Welsh side Llanelli before moving to Celtic in 1951.
