JOHANNES EDVALDSSON: AN APPRECIATION

Very sad news reached the Celtic family on Sunday night of the passing of the 1970’s ex Celtic star, Johannes ‘Shuggie’ Edvaldsson. Celtic were in a state of disarray when Johannes arrived in Glasgow to sign for them in July 1975. Jock Stein had just been seriously injured in a car crash and was to miss the entire 1975-76 season with Sean Fallon taking control of team affairs. Billy McNeill, Jimmy Johnstone and Jim Brogan had also departed, leaving a huge void to be filled in their absence. Celtic needed players urgently and Edvaldsson was a most welcome arrival. He was an Icelandic international who had been playing in Denmark and initially came on a short term contract to see if he could settle. In monotone 1970’s Glasgow, Johannes was seen as an exotic creature and very cosmopolitan, as Celtic had not regularly fielded a non-British/Irish player for decades. He was a headline writer’s dream and cut a popular figure in the media with many references to the ‘Ice-Man’.
