Dreams and Songs to Sing: New History of Celtic (Mainstream Sport)
Celtic is one of the most famous and successful football clubs in the world. All around the globe, supporters revere the green and white hoops and follow the exploits of the current team. Everyone know about Lisbon 1967, nine-in-a-row and the recent boardroom takeover, but what about the rest of the clubs history?
Dreams and Songs to sing is a compelling examination of Celtic FC from its very earliest beginnings right up to the present day. Building on the authors ground breaking The Glory and the Dream as well as on a mass of new material, interviews with key figures and much original research and information only recently come to hand, this book is a truly indispensable read for anyone interested in the development of one of the games leading clubs.
Packed with intriguing anecdotes and invaluable insights, the book also provides a fresh perspective on the transformation in Celtics fortunes and image during the Jock Stein era, takes an unflinching look at the betrayal of the clubs idealistic beginnings, and explains the reason why the boardroom dynasties suddenly became ripe for takeover in the 1990s. A human story as much as a football story, Dreams and Songs recounts the fluctuating fortunes of one of Europe's most illustrious clubs.
