How did George McCluskey become one of Celtic F.C.’s most
memorable football players? What binds the fans and players and
creates this strong sense of belonging? And what does the Irish
diaspora have to do with Celtic F.C.? George McCluskey was one of
the key strikers for the Hoops in the ‘70s and ‘80s, a
successful time in the club’s history. He did not only score for
his team, but changed the entire game in favour of Celtic more than
once. In this account of his life story told by his close friend
Aidan Donaldson, George McCluskey is praised as the embodiment of
the Celtic spirit. His individual history is intertwined with the
history and mentality of the club. However, George McCluskey did
not only influence Celtic F.C. but also other clubs he played for
and the people he has met during his life. This book takes you on a
journey through the development of the club from its very
beginning, as well as exploring the evolution of football in
general. How did we get from football legends like George McCluskey
to football celebrities like David Beckham? What did professional
football look like back then, what constitutes it nowadays? This
timely book will appeal not only to Celtic supporters, but to
anyone interested in the development of professional football. His
exuberant celebration depicted on the cover of the book remains
iconic in the eyes of Celtic supporters today. His Cup winning goal
led inadvertently to a riot and the banning of alcohol in Scottish
football grounds.
