PETER SOMERS
At West Cemetery, Wellhall Road, Hamilton ML3 9BY On Saturday 7th April 2018 at 1pm
Strathaven-born Peter Somers was a much loved and respected Celtic player. Born in June 1878, Peter would go on to make a total of 219 appearances for Celtic scoring a total of 65 goals.
Starting his footballing career at Mossend Celtic before moving to Cadzow Oak, where he was introduced to first class junior football, it would be local team Hamilton Academical who would give Peter his shot at the professional leagues in 1897.
Then on the 29th of November 1897 Celtic would come calling. He would make his debut on the 4th of December 1897 vs Third Lanark in a 4-0 Scottish League victory, scoring a goal on his debut. He would stay at Celtic Park for 3 seasons before moving south on loan to Blackburn Rovers where he would cement his place in the Blackburn starting eleven.
Peter returned to Celtic in August 1902 to form the famous forward line of Bennett, McMenemy, Quinn, Somers and Hamilton. This Celtic team would go on to create one of the most successful eras in the history of Celtic Football Club. He was a major part of the Celtic teams who would go on to record the original six-in-a-row and in total he would win:
6 Scottish League Championships, 3 Scottish Cups, 4 Glasgow Cups and 4 Glasgow Charity Cups.
Peter Somers was undoubtedly one of the all-time Celtic greats.

JAMES HAY
At Ayr Cemetery, Holmston Road, Ayr KA7 3BE On Saturday 17th June 2017 at 2pm
"Touch combined with strength ... neat stride ground passes ... lion-hearted defence vigorous tackler ... shoulder-work ... full of punch"
These are words used to describe Jimmy 'Dun' Hay by the Scotland goalkeeper of the time, Jimmy Brownlie.
The Ayrshire born left-half combined immense strength with subtle skill as a stalwart of Willie Maley's legendary side which won six Scottish League Championships in a row between 1905 and 1910. A man who could combine immense strength, skill and leadership qualities would be the Captain of five of these Championship-winning sides between the years 1906-1911.
He would also become Scotland Captain for three of his 11 international caps and lead out a Scotland team in 1910 versus England at Goodison Park, Liverpool.
Hay signed for Celtic for a fee of £50 from English side Glossop in March 1903 and made his senior competitive debut in a 2-1 home league victory over Partick Thistle on August 15th of that year. He would go on to make 255 appearances for Celtic, scoring a total of 17 goals.
He would leave Celtic Park for Newcastle United on the 27th of July 1911, after a benefit game when the Celtic board refused to meet his demands for an improved contract. It was a rather sad end to his Celtic career but in his eight years in Paradise, Jimmy 'Dun' Hay showed time and time again that he was a great player, a great leader and a great Celtic Captain.
He was suspended for life for refusing an apology, after accusing a director of Ayr United and the Treasurer of the Scottish Football Association of trying to bribe a referee in 1926. He was later reinstated but subsequently played no major role in the game with which he had been involved for 30 years.
Scottish League Champion 6 times: 1904-05, 1905-06, 1906-07, 1907-08, 1908-09, 1909-10 Scottish Cup Winner 4 times: 1904, 1907, 1908, 1911

John Glass. A name every Celtic fan should get familiar with. In the late 1800s, when Brother Walfrid was looking to create a football club to help support the needy in Glasgow, he called upon such men as John Glass to help his vision become a reality.
A tenacious and charismatic man, Glass was at the forefront of Celtic Football Club becoming a reality and oversaw massive changes in the club; from the first major trophies, to securing the land for the stadium, to signing celebrated players and much more.
His story is one we have tried to discuss on History Bhoys Abroad #32. We hope we have done him justice.

JOE DODDS
At St Convals Cemetery, Glasgow Road, Barrhead, Glasgow G78 1TH On Saturday 20th May 2017 at 2pm
Born in 1887 in Carluke to Joe and Margaret Dodds, the athletic and versatile Joe Dodds would become one of the key foundation stones of the first ever Celtic sides who would go on to achieve '6 in a row'.
Signed from Carluke Milton Rovers in 1908, the lightening quick left back would quickly develop a fine defensive partnership with the great Alec 'The Icicle' McNair and the great Charlie Shaw to form the trilogy of 'Shaw, McNair and Dodds'. Together these men created the defensive partnerships that was said to be the best in the UK at this period, and made Celtic the dominant force within Scottish football.
According to legendary Celtic manager Willie Maley: "Shaw, McNair and Dodds understood one another so well that they developed the pass-back into a scientific move of which there have been many imitators but none to equal the originators. It was indeed a spectacle to see either McNair or Dodds passing, with unerring accuracy and cheeky coolness, the ball to Shaw two yards away, with the opposing forwards almost on top of them. That was their method of getting out of a corner, which in all probability would otherwise have been fatal". (Weekly News, 25th July 1936)
Following the retirement of Sunny Jim Young in 1916, Joe Dodds became the Celtic Captain. Celtic historians say they can find no account of when Joe Dodds ever had a bad game.
He would also serve in World War One, which lost him valuable years of service for club. He served his colleagues on the front line in France in the Royal Field Artillery. A Scottish League Champion on a total of 8 occasions, and 3 Scottish Cup wins is among the best record that Scottish football has ever saw. He is a true great of Scottish Football and of Celtic Football Club.
Joe Dodds passed away in 1965 at the age of 78. He is an all-time Celtic great.
League Champion 8 times: 1908-09, 1909-10, 1913-14, 1914-15, 1915-16, 1916-17, 1918-19, 1921-22 Scottish Cup Appearances: 33 Scottish Cup Goals: 2 Scottish FA Cup Winner 3 times: 1911, 1912, 1914 Glasgow Cups: 2 Glasgow Merchants' Charity Cups: 8 War Fund Cup: 1

The Celtic Graves Society are proud to announce a ceremony to commemorate the final resting place of the first Celtic Captain
JAMES KELLY
At St Patricks Cemetery, 29 King's Drive, New Stevenston On Sunday 9th April 2017 at 2pm
Speakers and attendees at the event shall include: Members of the Kelly family Jim Craig, Lisbon Lion and Celtic Graves Society Patron Representatives of Celtic Football Club Terry Dick, Celtic Graves Society Member and Celtic Supporter Former Captains of Celtic Football Club The Son and Grandson of Duncan McKay
A blessing of the grave will be conducted by Father White of St Mary of the Assumption Church, Calton
James Kelly was born in 1865 into an Irish family in the Dunbartonshire town of Renton. Dunbartonshire is often regarded as being the cradle of Scottish football with fine teams like Vale of Leven, Renton and Dumbarton springing up in the 1860s and 1870s. It was with Renton in the early 1880s that James made his name, winning Scottish Cup medals in 1885 and 1888. In 1888 the Renton team, also including Neil McCallum our first goal scorer, beat West Bromwich Albion the English Cup Winners and it was cliamed that they were the World Champions.
In the same year, James Kelly was to become a Celtic player. The fledgling club's capture of this renowned and accomplished centre half-back from Renton was a massive coup for the Bhoys as James Kelly was one of the best known and highly regarded players of his era.
The importance of his capture cannot be understated. It was probably the most significant move that the first Celtic Committee made. He was a star signing that the club could not miss out on. There was a lot of work done to entice him to leave Renton and choose Celtic above Hibernian, and it was the persuasive tongue of Celtic founding father John Glass that made the difference. The presence of James Kelly in the Celtic ranks was a catalyst in attracting other top players who would only be too happy to sign up to play in Glasgow's east end alongside him.
James Kelly was to become our first club captain and scored in our first ever game as Celtic defeated Rangers by 5-2. He was very much a no frills player who was content to ensure that the basics were done well. His efficient approach to the game made him a most effective, dependable and consistent talent. His pace and ability allowed him to be able to switch between attacking and defending as and when need be, and his commanding presence meant he was a true icon for the Celtic support to look up to in those early days.
He retired from playing, having made 139 League and Scottish Cup appearances for Celtic and scoring 11 goals. He won 8 international caps for Scotland and also captained his country.
For Celtic, James Kelly's greatest moment was winning the Scottish Cup as captain in 1892, the first time Celtic won the country's premier tournament. He is the last of that Scottish Cup winning team to be commemorated by the Celtic Graves Society. He also won the Scottish League Championship in 1893, 1894 and 1896 with his inspiring leadership and gifted play. In addition he won four Glasgow Cups and four Glasgow Charity Cups, bringing the sort of success that the downtrodden and embattled Glasgow Irish population craved. He retired from playing the game in 1897 at the age of 32, but immediately became a Director of the Club and later Chairman from 1909 until 1914, then Director again from 1914 until his death in 1932.
James Kelly was Celtic's first captain and leader on the pitch and much loved by Celtic supporters everywhere.

The Celtic Graves Society are proud to announce a ceremony to commemorate the final resting place of
JOSEPH CULLEN
At St Kentigerns RC Cemetery, 951 Balmore Road, Glasgow On Saturday 25th February 2017 at 12 noon (Prior to the Hamilton Academical game)
Speakers at the event shall include: Jim Craig, Lisbon Lion and Celtic Graves Society Patron John Fallon, Lisbon Lion and former Celtic Goalkeeper Tony Hamilton, Chief Executive of Celtic FC Foundation Celtic Historian A blessing of the grave will be conducted by Father White of St Mary of the Assumption Church, Calton
Born in 1868 to Irish parentage in the Hutchesontown Burgh of Glasgow, Joe Cullen would go on to become the goalkeeper in the first ever Celtic team to lift the Scottish FA Cup in 1892.
Joe Cullen was signed from Benburb on 1st January 1892 immediately after the bhoys had been at the wrong end of an 8-0 thrashing by Dumbarton at the original Celtic Park. The erratic performance of keeper Tom Duff was seen as one of the main causes of that friendly defeat and in response the bhoys went out and quickly secured the services of Cullen and he made his debut the very next day at Cathkin Park in a 3-1 win over Third Lanark.
The former Scottish Junior international was in goals for Celtic's first Scottish Cup triumph in April 1892 and in August that year he played in the first match to be staged at the present Celtic Park. The great Dan McArthur would eventually oust Joe from his starting spot and after 73 games for Celtic he moved to London to Tottenham Hotspur in May 1897 then subsequently to Lincoln City.
Joseph Cullen was Celtic's goalkeeper in a period when to be a goalkeeper was a hazardous occupation. This was due to the barging of goalkeepers, known as bungling, which was a major part of the game. Joseph represented Celtic between 1892 and 1897 and won one Scottish Cup in 1892, two league titles (1892/93 and 1893/94) and two Glasgow Merchants' Charity Cups (1891/92 and 1892/93).
Sadly he died prematurely from pneumonia in 1905.
All supporters are welcome to attend and leave flowers at the graveside.

Time to talk Celtic and enjoy the view from the top! Dr. J and Rev discuss Refs, managers, results and maybe a little sympathy for someone special.
Episode #22 of the regular HBA is on John Thomson, The Prince of Goalkeepers. Aged 22. Celtic and Scotland goalkeeper. Sixty four clean sheets. First team regular aged 18. His life was no normal story.
A life cut short due to a split second accident. But his impact on football and within his local community in Fife resonates even now. He made his debut 90 years ago on February 12th 1927.
We round up the podcast with a review of the Motherwell match.
Join us.
The HTWA Bhoys are back for our 50th show. Who would have thunk it?
Before listening you have to ask yourself the dilemma of the show. You have to choose one of the following:
A. Celtic win the Treble but lose both games to Sevco B. Celtic go through the season without a loss in SPFL, but don't win the Scottish Cup C. Celtic beat the Huns 7-1 D. The Huns go bust..... AGAIN!
We talk about our great run of wins and in particular the performances of Moussa Dembele.
We then talk about the anti-Celtic bias of the Scottish Mainstream Media before having a bit of a chuckle at the trials and tribulations of our so-called challengers from south of the River Clyde.
We finish up with our tips for the upcoming Motherwell game.
If you would like to get in touch then please email us (HalfTheWorld88@gmail.com) or follow us on Twitter (@HalfTheWorld88)

We keep the slump rolling with another episode, as the hoops win away again. JP, Yahmpy and myself discuss the last 3 games, as Celtic's unstoppable form continues.
Craig Thomson gets it, as does Kris Boyd, we look at a possible replacement for Warburton and Yahmpy discusses Boyata's signature killer move as we fire a volley @ Sevco and the Police.
This episode I am joined by Andrew and Marc from the Walk with Shay campaign to raise awareness for a wee Celt who needs our support. This Episode was recorded last week straight after the previous podcast. Please do listen in and support Shay and his family.
We're back after a few weeks off with a full side of Chris, Rev, St. Paulie D and Dr. J to discuss how cold it must be in our shadow.
We're joined by Tirnaog09, also known as Pat, who's the man with the best Celtic photos on Twitter for the latest episode of Know Your History.
We discussed his attendance at the excellent Tommy Burns Supper, his Celtic background, blog and books, as well as his 3 subtle Celtic moments. A fascinating discussion and dive into the history of Celtic containing the 10 Men Won The League season.
Me, Liam and Gary, also have a wee blether about the Hearts game that saw us surpass the undefeated match record.

After a nice wee rest from podcast land, its business as usual with JP and Yahmpy. Despite the complete mayhem getting this episode recorded we managed to grind out another result. Both barrels get fired at the SMSM this time, and we discuss transfers, Albion Rovers game, St Johnstone, and other Celtic stuff! Thanks for listening!!
Episode 21 sees us dive into the mid 50s for a player who's bloodline runs deep within the history of Celtic. A very famous great uncle and a famous father, but John Divers Jr's career is worth recognising and remembering.
A player from the Jimmy McGrory era, working with Jock Stein in the reserves before one final season at Celtic with Jock at the helm of the first team. He left us right before the Golden Era. He scored 102 goals in 232 games.
An interesting man by all accounts who played one small but significant role in the domination that followed his own time.
We also review the Albion Rovers tie and watch the cup draw.
Join us.
It's 2017 and this is the first podcast of the year from ourselves but also a slight change from our usual offering.
Know Your History is going to be an intermittent podcast from us talking to some Celtic community members about their subtler Celtic moments. These episodes will feature once a month alongside our normal podcasts.
We were joined by Paul Kennedy, known to most as PK, from St Paul's Celtic, an amateur Celtic supporters team based in East London.
We discussed being a Tim in London, St Paul's, his personal Celtic memories and current Celtic thoughts.
Join us.
In a glorious finale to 2016, I'm joined by JP and Yahmpy to discuss an decisive victory over Sevco and to look forward to a bright future. The MSM also get two fingers an'all ;)
Are The Bhoys going through a form slump at the moment or is it just papertalk? Has Brendan Rodgers achieved all his targets so far, and what can he do to continue progress.
In preparation for the upcoming match against Sevco we give our thoughts on the expected 'honest mistakes' and then make our score predictions.

The Celtic Graves Society are proud to announce a ceremony to mark the final resting place of
PATRICK GALLACHER
At St Kentigerns RC Cemetery, 951 Balmore Road, Glasgow On Saturday 5th November 2016 At 12 noon
Speakers at the event shall include: Jim Craig, Lisbon Lion and Celtic Graves Society Patron Tom Boyd, former Celtic Captain A blessing of the grave will be conducted by Father White of St Mary of the Assumption Church, Calton
Patrick Gallacher was the original “Bould, Bould Celt”, the club’s very first jersey player.
One of the first Celtic heroes, Patrick Gallacher was adored by the Celtic support for his passionate play and tough tackling. Like many of his team mates he was tempted to the East End of Glasgow in 1888 from Hibernian to play for the newly formed and ambitious Celtic Football Club.
His first game for Celtic was against Abercorn in the Glasgow Exhibition Cup on August 1st 1888 and his competitive debut came in a 5-1 win vs Shettleston on September 1st 1888 in the Scottish Cup at the original Celtic Park.
His full-blooded commitment to the Celtic cause made him an obvious target for abuse from the opposition supporters but he was a huge favourite of the Celtic fans and he was given the honour of becoming vice-captain to the legendary James Kelly.
He was part of the first Celtic team to lift a major trophy when Celtic beat Glasgow rivals Queen’s Park 5-1 to lift the Scottish Cup in 1892.
He retired from playing duties in 1893 and acted as a club linesman back in the day when an official from each side would run the line. By that time, he had made 45 appearances and scored one goal. In the same year, he was elected onto the Celtic committee and remained there until 1897.
He took ill from “inflammation” in December 1897 but the reports of his passing in early 1898 were greatly exaggerated. However, illness was to cut his life tragically short and he died in 1899 aged just 33.
H was probably the most committed of the original Celts and served as a player, committeeman and linesman. Patrick Gallacher was Celtic’s original ball winner.
Adored by the Celtic support and reviled by the opposition.

The Celtic Graves Society are proud to announce a ceremony to unveil a plaque on the site of
THE ORIGINAL CELTIC PARK
At North East corner of Celtic Park, Janefield Street East On Sunday 8th May 2016 At 10.30am
Attendees will include: Lisbon Lion Jim Craig Celtic Historian Terry Dick A representative of Celtic FC
"A club composed exclusive of Irishmen, and Scotchmen or Irish parentage, has been started in the East End somewhat similar to the Hibernians of Edinburgh. The name oft the new club is to be 'The Glasgow Celtic Athletics'. A ground has already been secured in Dalmarnock Road, and is to be called Dalmarnock Park. They have taken it on lease for five years at a rent of £30 a year. It is a splendid field, with plenty of scope, and includes a couple of pitches, one being for practice.
There are to be two stands - now in course of erection. The club intend to draft the best players from the surrounding clubs. Of course the players must be Irish or of Irish extraction. They mean to have an eleven second to none. An effort will be made to open the ground at the end of the present month, and if a fixture can possibly be arranged between a Glasgow club and Hibernians, these clubs will be the first to compete on the ground.
As the club has influential supporters and no lack of means, the necessary guarantee will be forthcoming. Failing a fixture with either of the above clubs, some other notable teams will be invited for the preliminary match. A cinder track, 12 feet broad, runs round the field. The committee have held several meetings to discuss affairs in a hall in Easy Nile Street". - From the Scottish Athletic Journal, February 1888.
This plaque markes the site of the original Celtic Park from 1888 to 1892, which stood adjacent to the graveyard wall on its Eastern boundary. The ground was open on 8th May 1888 when Hibernian drew 0-0 with Cowlairs and on the 28th May, it hosted Celtic's first game, a 5-2 win over Rangers, with Neil McCallum scoring the first ever Celtic goal.
At this ground in season 1891/92, Celtic clinched our first ever treble. It also hosted Celtic Park's first ever International match, between Scotland and Ireland on 28th March 1891. In total, 18 friendlies were played against the cream of English football with Celtic on the losing side only once.
The final match was played on 16th July 1892 between Celtic and Clyde in a fundraiser for the Evicted Tenants fund in Ireland, ironically after Celtic were forced to relocate when the landlord of Celtic Park raised the rent per annum from £50 to £450.
In four seasons at the original ground, Celtic only lost one competitive match, before moving to the current Celtic Park in August 1892, in the same week that Brother Walfrid was transferred to London.
The phrase "From the graveyard to paradise" was coined and the new ground had a nickname which it has lived up to ever since. The rest, as they say, is history.

The Celtic Graves Society, in conjunction with the Everton FC Heritage Society, are proud to announce a ceremony to commemorate the final resting place of the footballing great
ALEC BRADY
At Milburn Cemetery, Main Street, Renton on Sunday 10th April 2016 at 2pm
Speakers at the event shall include:
Jim Craig, Lisbon Lion and Celtic Graves Society Patron John Paul Taylor representing Celtic Football Club Paul Wharton of the Everton FC Heritage Society A member of the Brady family Reverend Ian Miller
The Cathcart born forward Alec Brady was one of the early Celts that the ambitious Celtic committee were able to tempt to the East End of Glasgow in the earliest days of our Club.
The former Everton and Sunderland man moved back to Scotland in 1891 to play for Celtic. The signing of Alec Brady was another major coup for the early Celtic FC as he was regarded as one of the finest forwards in the country when he signed.
However his stay was brief. After just one season he returned to England and joined Wednesday FC, who later became Sheffield Wednesday.
Alec will be known as a member of the Scottish Cup winning side of 1892. In the Scottish Cup run he scored two goals per game in three successive rounds to help take Celtic to our first major trophy. He didn't score in the final but was a key player in this monumental achievement.
Before his departure he won three trophies with Celtic: the Scottish Cup, Glasgow Cup and Glasgow Merchants Charity Cup and in total he scored 10 goals in 24 League matches.
Alec Brady not only had the honour of being part of the first Celtic team to win the Scottish Cup, he was also part of the first Everton team to win the English League Championship in season 1890/91 and part of the first Wednesday FC (Sheffield Wednesday FC) team to win the English FA Cup in 1896.
He passed away in Oct 1913, aged 43.

Celtic Football Club is delighted to announce that it will be working together with the Celtic Graves Society on a joint event to mark the 30th anniversary of the passing of the late, great
JOCK STEIN
The ceremony will take place at the Jock Stein statue at Celtic Park at 12noon on Sunday, September 20 before the home match against Dundee (KO: 3pm).
There will be a number of speakers including Lisbon Lion, Jim Craig in attendance at an event which will celebrate the phenomenal contribution which Mr Stein made to Celtic and to football in general.
It was 30 years ago, on September 10, 1985, that Jock Stein died, and the world of football mourned the loss of one of its greatest figures.
Celtic fans had long had a special affinity with Stein, first as a player in the 1950s who had helped to deliver the Coronation Cup and the Double of 1953/54, and then as the manager who ushered in a golden era for Celtic, both domestically and in Europe where, in 1967, they became the continent’s best team.
His achievements are staggering. At Celtic, he delivered 10 League Championships, eight Scottish Cups, six Scottish League Cups and of course, the greatest prize of all, the European Cup in 1967.
Celtic’s legendary captain, Billy McNeill, said of his manager: “Lisbon wouldn’t have been possible without him. Had Jock Stein not come to Celtic at that time, the club would just have lumbered on. We might have won the Scottish Cup in 1965 - that may have been our year for winning the cup under Jimmy McGrory - but Jock brought the different approach to everything that consolidated it for us.
"I can honestly say that we might have won the Scottish Cup back then but what certainly would not have happened was the sheer volume of trophies and success that came after that – and that is down to the Big Man. For me, the modern-day Celtic owes one hell of a debt to Big Jock for what he did."

The Celtic Graves Society is proud to announce that there will be a ceremony to commemorate the resting place of the footballing great
JOHNNY CAMPBELL
At St Peter's Cemetery, Dalbeth, London Road (near Celtic Park) On Saturday 15th August 2015 (Prior to the Inverness Caledonian Thistle game) At 12 noon
Attendees at the event will include:
A representative from Celtic F.C. Jim Craig, Lisbon Lion and Celtic Graves Society Patron David Potter, Celtic Historian Greg Karwowski of the Polska No.1 CSC Members of the Campbell family
A blessing of the grave will be conducted by Rev. Thomas White, St Mary of the Assumption Church, Calton.
The wonderfully talented forward Johnny Campbell was signed by Celtic from the junior club Benburb FC at Easter 1890. Johnny made his competitive debut against Battlefield in a Glasgow Cup tie on the 20th September 1890 and went on to create a wonderful partnership with another great Celt Sandy McMahon.
He was part of the Celtic team who won the club's first ever Scottish Cup in 1892 where he scored 2 goals in a 5-1 win vs Queens Park after a replay. He then went on to become a very important part of the Celtic teams who won the Scottish League Championships of 1893 & 1894 and in the process he became a fans' favourite.
After a very successful spell at Aston Villa where he was part of the team who won the 1896/97 League and FA Cup double, he returned to Glasgow to re-sign for Celtic in the summer of 1897 for the huge signing on fee of £70. This was to prove money well spent as Johnny would help Celtic to win the League Championship in 1898 and the Scottish Cup in 1899 and 1900.
During two spells at Celtic he was a winner of 3 Scottish League Championships and 3 Scottish Cups, playing a total of 215 times and scoring 117 goals.

The Celtic Graves Society are proud to announce a ceremony to commemorate the final resting place of the legendary
ANDY McATEE
At Kilsyth Cemetery, Howe Road, Kilsyth, G65 0TAat 12:00 noon on Saturday 28th February 2015
Speakers at the event shall include:
Jim Craig, Lisbon Lion & Celtic Graves Society Patron Tom Boyd, former Celtic Captain David W Potter, Author and Celtic Historian
A blessing of the grave will be conducted by Father Sullivan of The Holy Cross Church, Croy.
Fans favourite Andy McAtee represented Celtic for 14 years. A frighteningly quick player, Andy was known as a player with a cannonball shot who could score goals from impossible angles and as a match winner.
The Cumbernauld born outside right is another Celtic player who comes from a mining background. His Celtic career was interrupted by World War 1, where his occupation as a miner allowed him to carry on playing for Celtic. During the period he played in the league title winning teams of 1914-17. He later served with typical bravery and heroism as a gunner for the 29th Division where he fought in the Italian Alps and the Somme. We lost him mostly for the first half of 1918.
As a footballer, McAtee was simply a match winner who was adored by the Celtic faithful, and is undoubtedly one of the greatest wingers the club has ever had.
Having played 438 times for Celtic, scoring 75 goals winning 5 Scottish League Championships and 4 Scottish Cup winners medals, Andy McAtee is a true Celtic great.
The Celtic Graves Society would like to invite all attendees to a "Question & Answer" event which will take place at
The Curling Stone, High Craigends, Kilsyth at 1pm.
Attending this even will be:
Lisbon Lion Jim Craig, former Celtic Captain Tom Boyd and local Celt Pat McCluskey

The Celtic Graves Society are proud to announce that there will be a ceremony to commemorate the resting place of
JIMMY McMENEMY
At St Peter’s The Good Shepherd Cemetery, Dalbeth, London Road on Saturday 22nd November 2014 at 12noon
Attendees at the event will include:
A representative from Celtic FC Jim Craig, Celtic Graves Society Patron David Potter, Celtic Historian Members of the McMenemy Family
A blessing will be conducted at the graveside.
“I don’t think I ever played a better game. Anyone could play with McMenemy. He’s one of the few to whome the term genius has been applied without hysterics.” – Adam Scott Duncan – Scottish Internationalist and later Manchester United manager.
James “Jimmy” McMenemy is remembered as one of the greatest Celtic players of all time. His faithful service to the club over eighteen years was rewarded with an incredible eleven League Championship badges and six Scottish Cup medals. As the General of the Celtic attack for almost two decades and a master tactician who could dictate games through his passing, he was rightly known as ‘Napoleon’ throughout his career. Originally from Rutherglen, he famously signed for Celtic ‘up a close in Union Street’ before going on to become a famous son of Celtic.
In the crucial inside-forward role his speed, passing and shooting ability were key figures in the 6-in-a-row side (1905-1910), the 4-in-a-row side (1914-17) and, seventeen years after his debut, the League Title winning side of 1919. Jimmy scored 168 goals in 515 appearances for Celtic. He played alongside some of the biggest Celtic names including Jimmy Quinn, Patsy Gallacher, Tommy McInally, Alec McNair and Andy McAtee. Nearing his 40th birthday Celtic gave him a free transfer – he joined Partick Thistle and he led them to Scottish Cup glory against Rangers the following season.
‘Nap’ returned to Celtic Park as trainer under his old mentor Willie Maley from 1935-1940 and he is credited with helping shape Celtic’s great team of 1936-1938 – including the famous front line of Delaney, Crum, Murphy, Buchan and MacDonald – which went on to win the Empire Exhibition Trophy against the best teams that England had to offer. Four of Jimmy’s sons became professional footballers including John who won a Scottish Cup winners medal with Celtic in 1927 against East Fife.
All Celtic Supporters are welcome to attend and flowers/tributes can be laid at the graveside.

Paul Larkin gives a brief outline on the venues for The Asterisk Years Premiere and Charity Screening in Glasgow.
Massive show this week. Dr J spills the beans on his trip to Paradise. We recap County, Thistle and Astra and and it's finally here........we finally acknowledge the Elephant in the room and take on the subject of Celtic vs the Tribute act. With the upcoming media pish about the game, it really is time to turn off clyde and support your side.
The project known as The Asterisk Years is completing it's 3rd and final stage - as a documentary film - and the curtain is about to go up on the premiere screenings in Glasgow in November.
In this special edition Hail Hail Media podcast, the creator of the entire Asterisk Years project, Paul Larkin, sits down with Richard from Carluke Shamrock C.S.C. for one final interview.
Richard takes Paul back to his very early years, and charts through all of the fascinating episodes and characters in his life, that have led him to be the Celtic fan he is today, and discusses why he simply HAD to take on this mammoth project of The Asterisk Years.
Dennis Curran from Loaves and Fishes talks about his life and his need to help the less fortunate.
Loaves and Fishes is a Glasgow based charity that supports people in need. We depend entirely on the generous donations of many individuals, organisations and companies to help people in need by providing a sit down meal, food parcels, clothes and toiletries.

We know what you're thinking, "150-odd minutes of a podcast". You'd think we would have learned by now! Topics tonight include the recent matches against Ross County and Vauxhall Astra and we try to identify why the team are so inconsistent. The name Stefan Scepovic is raised several times and we debate whether he is the man to lead the attack and become a regular goalscorer.
We also have all our predictions for the weekend game and also whether we think qualification for the latter stages Europa League is on the cards.

STG are back to wash away the international break blues. St Paulie produces some facts and figures on Stefan Johansen's last performance. Is he a passenger in the Celtic team or is the Celtic support giving him too much stick?
Tonight Paul gave us a glimpse of the final cut of the Asterisk Years film. We also talk about the recent events surrounding the Edinburgh Establishment and how they relate to the film. Paul finally talks about the impending world tour with the film and where he's taking it from here. Hail Hail and Keep the Faith!
Good Lord, can we make these podcasts any longer? There is difference of opinions in the HTWA house regarding the performance against Dinamo Zagreb, with some positive and negative feedback. We talk about what would be our starting defensive formation and look forward to the return of a genuine right back. The Bhoys then talk about the Scottish Independence Referendum and get a few matters off their chests, so if you are not politically minded or are simply over the whole independence debate then you might want to fast-forward. We end the show with our predictions for the upcoming game against Hamilton Accies.

“Madness”
In Chapter Eleven we are joined by Scott McCorry from the Temporary Stand Podcast and the HuddleBoard. We cover the period 1994 to 2000 as the Club goes through a very topsy-turvy time with turmoil reigning on and off the field. Fergus has just arrived to steady the ship but there is a lot of work to be done with a new stadium to be built and maybe more importantly, a team to better Rangers who are on a quest to beat our historic record of nine domestic titles in a row.
The managerial roundabout was in full swing as Celtic saw five changes with Macari out, Tommy Burns in, Tommy Burns out, Wim in, Wim out, Dr Joe in, Dr Joe out, John Barnes and King Kenny in. Never in the history of the club had the fans seen such upheaval and change, but a new stadium, a new Club and a mixture of superstars and pretenders entertained us on the way. Prepare to cry, laugh and then cry again as we relive a fascinating period for all hoops fans.
As well as discussing the action on the pitch, David Low joins us to talk about his experiences on the boardroom action off the pitch as Fergus puts into place his plan for the future. We have Tales from the Wiki, the History of the Stadium, the History of the Celtic Shirt, as well as all your Fan Stories and Confessions and a tribute to the late Jimmy Connolly Johnstone.
As our Eleventh guests, Scott nominates Scottish Autism as this chapter’s charity and you can learn more about them at http://www.scottishautism.org/
We are asking everyone that downloads the podcast to donate one pound, fifty pence or even a fiver for the episode, but really anything you can afford will be greatly appreciated and ALL monies raised will be given to the ten worthy charities at the end of the series.

Episode Ten 1990-1994
"The Rhebels Have Won"
In Chapter Ten we are joined by JB Banal and Average Joe Miller from the Godfather of all Celtic Fanzines Not the View, as well as Harper and Jason from the HomeBhoys. We cover the period 1990 to 1994 as the Club goes through its darkest hour of the modern day, but like in every revolution, the darkest time is just before the dawn.
On and off the pitch, Celtic struggle to match their free spending neighbours as the Bhoys in green and white seem to press the self-destruct button at every given opportunity. A string of new managers promise much but ultimately deliver little as fans hopes are dashed again and again. The battle lines are drawn between the Board and a new brand of Celtic Fan who saw no other option but to take things into their own hands.
Cambuslang, sponsorless shirts, seats in the Jungle and lack of trophies are all discussed in this extended chapter and we are joined by some of the people involved at the time. Emotional interviews with Brian Dempsey and Matt McGlone, as well as players Tom Boyd, Anton Rogan and Paul Byrne who played in the hoops at the time tell the history of this most dramatic time in the Club’s history.

Episode Nine 1980-1990
"A Great Party with a Terrible Hangover"
In Chapter Nine we are joined by Douglas Beattie, well known Celtic author of "Happy Birthday Dear Celtic". We cover the period 1980 to 1990 when the Club enjoys a roller coaster ride of great successes and tragic failures. Relive the excitement of the decade on and off the field as we start with a Cup final victory against Rangers and end with another. The Hampden "riot" game and the Joe Miller Cup final nicely book-end ten years of romance for the Glasgow club.
Who can forget the epic European games against Real Madrid, Ajax and Rapid Vienna while the club fight hard domestically to keep up with the upcoming "New Firm" of Aberdeen and Dundee United. Towards the end of the decade Scottish Football sees dramatic changes as Rangers finally get their act together and challenge everyone with their new regime but even they were unable to stop the Glory, Glory Bhoys from winning a double in their Centenary Year.

The road to the Champions League group stages continued at Celtic Park with the first leg of the third qualifying round against Swedish champions Elfsborg and the return of a certain loanee. Following that, the SPL campaign got off to a "flyer" as the league flag was unfurled... and then we played Ross County. KK was there to capture all the action.
Episode Eight 1970-1980
"The Men Who Loved the Green"
In Chapter Eight we are joined by Stephen Murray, better known as Saint Anthony from the Celtic Underground. We cover the period 1970 to 1980 which sees the Club continue to dominate domestically yet decline on the European stage. With an aging Lisbon Lions squad breaking up, Celtic continues to develop an ever growing home grown talent to take the place of the greatest team our club has ever known.
While the first half of the decade was blessed with stars like Hay, Dalglish, Connelly, and Macari, the second half a saw slight dip in fortune as the this success isn’t built upon with the managers of the decade face a rebuilding challenge. Billy McNeil takes over the reins from the legend that was Jock Stein and is relatively successful despite a lack of investment from the Board. Following on from the tragedy of the Ibrox disaster, Glasgow suffers great social unrest during the challenging 1970s. The Hoops fans however still have some magnificent successes and achievements to enjoy amid the challenges and struggles of a British Isles in economic decline.
We have Tales from the Wiki, the History of the Stadium, the History of the Celtic Shirt and all your Fan Stories and Confessions. Jeanette Findlay also joins us with the history of the Celtic Trust and we pay homage to Johnny Doyle “The Man Who Loved the Green”

Episode Seven
"The Best Team in the World"
In Chapter Seven we are joined by Stephen Sullivan from the Fifa.com and biographer of the forthcoming book on Sean Fallon. We cover the period 1960 to 1970 which is undoubtedly the golden age for the Club. Despite a disappointing start to the decade, the Clubs fortunes are transformed with the appointment of Jock Stein to the managerial seat as we see the team going from great pretenders to a European force.
It was bliss for everyone involved with the Club in this period as we not only discuss Lisbon, but chart the development of the team from the European Cup Winners Cup disappointment of 1964 to the all-conquering team of the late sixties. We listen to Ian Young, Bertie Auld, Bobby Lennox, George Connelly and the late Joe McBride telling of their experiences of playing in the hoops during the period and revel in the glory that was Celtic – The Greatest Team in the World.
There is also the Tales from the Wiki, the History of the Stadium, the History of the Celtic Shirt and all your Fan Stories and Confessions.

"Making A Stand"
In this Sixth episode we are joined by Paul Brennan from the Celtic Quick News to cover the period 1950 to 1960. With World War Two over, Scotland wasn't the land of milk and honey as promised, but a country still struggling with rebuilding and rationing. Celtic were rebuilding too and enjoyed a relatively successful period by clinching a double, the Coronation Cup and destroying Rangers 7-1 in the League Cup final of 1957. At first glance this sounds like success but the 1950's promised so much more and the trophy haul was a poor reflection on a team with great talent yet poor leadership.
Off the pitch the Club were faced with some of its biggest challenges since its birth in 1887 as the fundamentals of the club's identity came under attack from the authorities. Things came to breaking point and a stand had to be made and thankfully for once the hierarchy of the Club stuck to their principals and stood firm. Despite these distractions the building blocks were being laid for a team that would go onto better things in the years to come. A man named Stein is signed and the blueprint for success was starting to be drawn up.

Episode Five
"Apathy and Protest"
In this Fifth episode we are joined by Marty Flynn from the Belfast Celtic Society to cover the period 1940 to 1950 in a decade where Celtic find themselves practically running to stand still. Refusing to utilise guest players stationed in Scotland during the War, Celtic miss many opportunities to put quality on the pitch and that is reflected in the results. Willie Maley is replaced by Jimmy McStay, who in turn is replaced by Jimmy McGrory as the Club limp along. Off the pitch supporters begin to organise themselves as the fans become discontented with what they are watching.
There is the threat of relegation, meetings in graveyards and dodgy referees again, all against the back drop of war and rationing………Thank God for Jock Weir and Charlie Tully

Episode Four
"Still in the Hearts They Left Behind"
In this Fourth episode we are joined by Tom Minogue from the Celtic Wiki to cover the period 1930 to 1940 in a decade where Celtic find themselves struggling for form and consistency. Despite the wealth of talent on the field in the shape of Thomson, Crum, Delaney, Divers and Lyon among others, the Club’s “Biscuit Tin” mentality raises its ugly head as the stars are moved on instead of seeing the talent built upon. Champions twice, Cup winners three times and the winners of the Empire Exhibition trophy see Celtic limp along in a decade that promised so much yet returned little in the way of success.
The thirties start off in tragic circumstances with the death of John Thomson and also sees the loss of Peter Scarff and Bertie Thomson, three huge characters in our history, lost to us in their prime, yet the team continue to produce talents that were the envy of our rivals. Questionable refereeing decisions and off the pitch political battles provides a backdrop to many colourful events that were to shape our history for the future. There are tales of North American Tours, fan trouble and boardroom clashes in a decade where the world was preparing for war during the Great Depression.
There is also the History of the Stadium, History of the Celtic Shirt and all your Fan Stories and Confessions.

Episode Three
"Improvisation and Inspiration"
In this third episode we are joined by Paul Larkin to cover the period 1920 to 1930 in a decade where Celtic are up against the rising force of Rangers. Still, a haul of 13 trophies in ten years wasn’t a bad return for a team blessed with the talents of McGrory, Gallagher, Cassidy, Cringan, McNally and McLean.
The war is now over and recession is kicking in as Celtic play in an era building up to the General Strike of 1926. The poor of Glasgow’s East End turn to the emerging Labour Party and the rise of Red Clydeside as the streets are carved up by vicious gangs with violence and social unrest a common occurrence. Add to this the political changes and armed warfare going on in Ireland, the fans of Celtic cling onto their love of their team despite the challenges at the time.

Episode Two
"Freedom and Liberation"
In this second episode we are joined by Harry Brady from Celtic Underground to cover the period 1900 to 1920 and it’s not long before we are discussing conspiracy theories against the Club even back in those early days. On the pitch, however, things really start to get exciting as Celtic won six league titles in a row between 1904/05 and 1909/10 and even won every competition they entered in 1907-08. We learn about the introduction of the hoops and reason behind the dreaded term “Old Firm”.
Bennet, McMenemy, Quinn, Somers and Hamilton were the deadliest front line in Scottish football of the period, but it wasn’t long before it was a different front line that was come to the fore as we chat about Celtic in the First World War and all the social unrest in Glasgow both during this time and shortly after its conclusion

Billy No'Well talks to "James Cameron" creator of the website www.thecelticnetwork.com Promoting independent Celtic Fans Media & Good Causes. @CelticNetwork11
Episode One
"From Desperation to Celebration"
In this inaugural episode we are joined by Jim Blythe and Paul McQuade from the Celtic Graves Society to cover the period 1887 to 1900. We chat about the formation of the Club, the opening of the first stadium and the creation of the team. All this is set against the backdrop of the desperation of the new Irish immigrant who continued to struggle to find a place socially in the Glasgow of the 1890s. As the decade wore on, the local population in the East of the City finally had something to cheer about and be proud of.
Listen to Jim and Paul explain the boardroom battles of the time that makes the 1994 takeover sound like a tea party as the Club develops the first stages of professionalism. However it was on the pitch where the most significant progress was made as the first heroes to wear the hoops started to emerge. Names like James Kelly, Johnny Campbell, Sandy McMahon and “The Wild Rover” himself, Dan Doyle rolled off the tongues of the ever growing army of Celtic fans and we look back at a team that won a total of 15 major trophies in those first twelve years.
As our first guests, Jim and Paul nominate the first charity that will benefit from this series and that will be Archdiocese of Glasgow Arts Project.
We are asking everyone that downloads the podcast to donate one pound, fifty pence or even a fiver for the episode, but really anything you can afford will be greatly appreciated and ALL monies raised will be given to the ten worthy charities at the end of the series.
