Stevie Chalmers, one of Celtic’s Lisbon Lions, has died at the age of 83, the club have announced.Chalmers etched his name into Celtic folklore when he scored the decisive goal in the 2-1 win against Inter in the 1967 European Cup final at the Estdio Nacional in Lisbon.3

A statement from his family, issued via the club, read: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Stevie Chalmers, our loving father and devoted husband to Sadie. The Celtic legend was surrounded by family when he sadly passed away early this morning [Monday, 29 April).Chalmers’ death comes a week after Billy McNeill, captain of the Lisbon Lions, also died. The statement added: “In recent times Stevie endured the toughest of battles, but just as he approached every game in a green and white jersey, he tackled his long-term illness with much bravery and dignity.“Stevie, first and foremost, was a family man to his loving wife Sadie; their children, Stephen, Carol, Paul, Ann, Martin, Clare, grandchildren, great grandchildren and wider family members.“He felt honoured and privileged to have played alongside the Lisbon Lions, and this camaraderie and friendship carried on long after their playing days as the team became lifelong friends.“Celtic was an integral part of Stevie’s life and he devoted much of his career to the famous Glasgow club. He was adored by Celtic supporters in Scotland and around the world, especially for his passion, loyalty and integrity.”

Such a sad week. RIP Stevie Chalmers https://t.co/w7gWvna757— Chris Sutton (@chris_sutton73) April 29, 2019

Chalmers scored 231 goals in 406 Celtic games between 1959 and 1971, with only Henrik Larsson (242), Bobby Lennox (277) and Jimmy McGrory (468) having scored more.However, the goal in 1967 with just five minutes of the final remaining, ensured Celtic became the first British club to life the European Cup.3

He very nearly didn’t make it as a professional, though, as he was struck by tuberculosis meningitis at the age of 20. He spent six months in hospital, but made a full recovery.Chalmers left Celtic in 1971 and had spells at Morton and Partick Thistle before retiring in 1975.3

Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell said: “This is such terrible news, and on behalf of the club, I would first of all like to pass on my condolences to Stevie’s wife, Sadie, their children, Stephen, Carol, Paul, Ann, Martin, Clare, and their grandchildren.“Stevie was a much-loved husband, father and grandfather, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this desperately sad time.“This is a particularly devastating time for the Celtic family, with the passing of Stevie Chalmers coming so soon after his friend and former team-mate, Billy McNeill. My condolences also go to the Lisbon Lions, already mourning the loss of their captain, and now grieving the death of another one of their own.”
