    Because I don't support any ofthe teams he played for or sort of let down a bit, my continuing memory of Leigh above all others will forever be the legendary 2 free-kick goals against England. For all he may have underachieved or disappointed, those special goals have etched him into Scottish football folklore and legend forever.

      Maybe under achievement,sure ,,but he actually did ok at Celtic ,,and pulled his flagging career out of the bag ,,”for sure “ as a Hearts supporter the two free kicks against England are probs the highlight of his career ,,,had him in my taxi ,,,was perfectly pleasant ,needs a bit better guidance I think ,,though he must take responsibility as well ,,,but we all make mistakes but dont get them highlighted by the media

    It's a real shame he couldn't get out of his own head as the lad had amazing ability. Perhaps had an opportunity arisen for him to play abroad early in his career things might've turned out differently for him. He really should've still been playing for Scotland. We can only wonder how many goals he'd have scored, particularly in the current Scotland set up.

    Leigh has his own demons and he has had support to cope in the past but like many in or out the line light these individuals are always challenged in life and will even, with the support continue to function with challenges. On the pitch he was capable of incredible individual skills. His 2 goal that earned Scotland a draw against England was only one example of his astonishing offer to the football teams and supporters.

    I found this video sort of late, as a different video (about Paul Lambert) got me here. I'm not only a fan of Celtic, but also, a person struggling with mental health. Thus, it's no wonder I was saddened by his fate. But, to be honest, our club probably doesn't have a psychologist, so it's not much of a surprise that we weren't able to help him.

    I am Scottish and live in England. I have been told multiple times to “go back to your own country” or called a foreigner or Scottish bar steward. I never ever thought that I was being “racially” abused. When people are upset they often look for an obvious insult. Nearly always they don’t mean it. But with Griffiths the media blew it out of all proportion. They hung him out to dry because he was a “celebrity” and not very smart. Easy pickings.

    as an Aberdeen fan i used to dread when we played Hibs or Celtic when he was playing for them as he was just a danger and could turn any chance in to a goal even ones where you thought there was no danger then up he popped and would score lol its just a shame that his off field antics cost him as otherwise he would be still playing in the top flight now. Personally i think the fame and the spotlight got to him and he just thought he could do anything and get away with it, at the end of the day he only has himself to blame as he will only be remembered for the bad things and not the good things apart from his 2 freekicks against England lol

However, Griff was one of the most naturally gifted strikers I have seen at Celtic and with the right attitude could have been one of the greats. He would have fit quite well into how Ange plays too, but it was too late.
