Background
Many genuine fan groups, fed up with their image being tarnished by the then rampant hooligan minority, used the fanzine forum to fight back against attacks on the game and clubs they loved by the then out-of-touch Conservative Government as well as disintrested and freeloading club chairmen and owners.
On the other hand, there were many groups in the UK who also used the fanzine route for their own agendas (e.g. political groups etc).
At Celtic, the support was quick to take to the typewriters during this period, but the Hoops can boast a fanzine heritage which goes all the way back to the 1960s: The Shamrock (see below). Indeed The Shamrock could well be the first ever football fanzine.

Online Collections
Most clubs would be lucky to have one half-decent website dedicated to programmes, fanzines and collectables. But Celtic have not one but two fantastic sites on this very subject – Celtic Programmes Online and the Celtic Collectors Club. These sites are among the very best Celtic sites on the web and both are well worth a very regular visit.
