About the Author

Born and raised in Glasgow, he has always loved football. He has been watching Celtic since he was 10 years old. He is lucky enough to have watched the Lisbon Lions. One of his earliest memories was the 1967 Scottish Cup Final against Aberdeen at Hampden - stood in the Celtic end with his dad and 120,000 other people as Celtic won 2-0. His first Old Firm game was the 1970 League Cup Final at Hampden in the rain when Celtic lost 1-0 to a Derek Johnstone header. Best Celtic game ever seen live was the UEFA Cup final in Seville in 2003. The best individual performance ever seen was Henrik Larsson in that final. Still gets excited every week when walking up Springfield Road to Celtic Park.
