(Noted from the conversations with Charlie and Eugene Mc Bride at Joe Logan's house for Eugene"s book called 'Taking Celtic').

As a young Celt Joe trained with Bertie Auld in Ruchill Park, Joe lived in Queens Cross and Bertie up the hill in Panmure Street. Bertie's mother Peggy and Joe's mother Katie also worked together in Mc Ewans Brewery, Bertie was 3 years older than Joe and Peggy would tell Bertie to look after Joe, (Joe responded; ' I don't need anyone to look efter me') - but Bertie did. Joe remembers himself , Bertie and John Colrain buying oranges after training and getting the bus back to Maryhill. Prior to signing with Celtic at 17, Joe was invited to sign for Aberdeen by Bobby Calldwell and remembers fondly of Bassie Koegh of Clyde saying to Harry Haddock who trained the boys guild at Saint Columba's' look he going to Celtic and thats that, he is no goin anywhere else!'. Celtic remains in Joe's heart, he remembers proudly how it felt to put on "that Celtic jersey", "I was a goal-scorer, I was 'two-footed', a natural on both feet, I played in the close hitting the baw aff the wall wi both feet ! " Joes' last game for Celtic was a reserve game at Boghead against Dumbarton - the team were ; Dick Beatttie - Keeper , Frank Meechan - Right Back , Jim Kennedy - Left Back , Paddy Crerand - Right Half , Billy McNeill - Centre Half , Ian White - Left Half , Outside Right was John Colquhoun, Roy Paton was Inside Right, Joe Logan was Centre Forward, John Colrain was Inside Left, Bertie Auld Outside Left. Score 3-1 for Celtic.

After Celtic Joe worked with Scottish Television from the late 60's till the 90's remembers many conversations with Jock Stein on his trips to Cowcaddens. Jock often said to Joe 'how unfortunate Joe was at Parkhead' - in a conversation in the STV studios before a 1982 world cup interview Jock confided in Joe 'that he was one of the best players he had ever seen'. Jock was always delighted Joe's time at Celtic had allowed him to land a good secure job in STV. Joe Logan is responsible for donating the Brother Walfrid - Celtic Crosses to raise money for Tommy Burns' Church, Saint Mary's; Calton and birthplace of Celtic FC.
The number 1 of a 100 of these crosses was presented by Archbishop of Glasgow Mario Conti to Brian Quinn Chairman of Celtic FC on the day the statue of Brother Walfrid was unveiled at Parkhead on 5th November 2005, this cross is displayed in the Celtic Boardroom.
