A Scottish former footballer, most famously with Celtic.Connelly was a technically accomplished footballer, who could play with distinction anywhere in the outfield, although his most common positions were left half and inside forward.[1] He signed for Celtic from Tulliallan Juniors in March 1966 and as a teenager was noted for his fine ball control. This was first publicly displayed when he was sent out to entertain the crowd at Parkhead before a European tie later that year. He was considered by many to have the potential to be a world class player - as influential in British football as Beckenbauer was in the German game.[2] That he did not live up to his potential, depriving Celtic, and football in general in the process, is still cause for regret amongst his many admirers.
