Celtic

Praise for Scotland! Scotland!:

‘Chunky paperback is organised by decade and then alphabetically, which gives it a pleasing feel of being more of a continuous narrative than just a reference book.’—Scottish Sport Books of 2006, The Scotsman

‘… the book no football fan can affford to be without… excellent book… fascinating facts‘—Hamilton Advertiser

Celtic: 100 Heroes of the Modern Game is a fascinating compendium of facts and a superb tribute to the men who have brought skills, thrills and glory to Celtic Football Club in the modern era. All the great players since 1946 are here, from Auld to Zurawski, and all the giants in between—Kenny Dalglish, Charlie Nicholas, Henrik Larsson, Jimmy Johnstone, Bobby Lennox and many more. Each player is profiled and detailed stats are given on every aspect of their Celtic and footballing careers.

Dean Hayes, the author of Scotland! Scotland! The Complete Who’s Who of Scotland Players Since 1946, brings to this new book the same meticulous research, perceptive analysis and vivid storytelling that characterised the earlier book. Illustrated throughout with photographs of the stars when playing at their peak, Celtic 100 Heroes has a superb cast of sporting greats and is a compelling read, not just for the dedicated Hoops fan, but for anyone with an interest in the beautiful game as it is played in Scotland.

Dean Hayes took up full-time writing after a career in teaching and a spell as a professional cricketer. He is a highly regarded authority on sport and his many books include Living the Dream: Manchester City, The Ashes, Cricket’s Greatest Rivalry and Scotland! Scotland! The Complete Who’s Who of Scotland Players Since 1946, also published by Mercat Press.
