Review
This fascinating yet quaint account of Celtic’s first 50 years is a real treasure for Celtic history buffs.
Few football clubs had a published history prior to World War Two but this work by the very man who shaped the years he writes about puts Celtic into that elite band.
It’s only natural that Maley’s writing style appears so obviously old fashioned yet the book is all the more charming for it.
Often opinionated but always informative Maley provides a unique insight not only into the earliest days of Celtic but of football in a much more innocent time.
With many wonderful images of the players and officials who were to shape Celtic into one of the most famous names in world football The Story of the Celtic is a rare classic.
