Synopsis
'If I'd had Lennox in my team, I could have played forever. He was one of the best strikers I have ever seen.' Bobby Charlton One of Britain's greatest ever footballers, Bobby Lennox epitomises an era in which Celtic were the best and most successful football club in the UK. In May 1967, he and his fellow Lisbon Lions achieved footballing immortality when they lifted the European Cup -- the first British side to do so. Lennox's 300 goals for Celtic and Scotland make him the second-highest goal scorer in Celtic's history and the highest since the Second World War. With the Scottish national side, Lennox famously scored the second goal in Scotland's stunning 3-2 victory over England at Wembley in 1967, when the Scots became the first country to defeat the then world champions. In this definitive autobiography, Lennox recounts with his famous dry wit and openness his part in these extraordinary achievements and reveals aspects of his career which until now he has never previously made public.

The Head Bhoys: Celtic's Managers (Mainstream Sport) author: Graham McColl asin: 184018759X binding: Paperback list price: £7.99 GBP amazon price: £7.99 GBP

The Head Bhoys: Celtic's Managers
Back in the 1890s, Willie Maley took control of Celtic and with iron will-power established a footballing tradition that endures to this day. In the 1960s, Jock Stein shaped a team that proved itself to be Europe's finest, while the recent arrival of Martin O'Neill has seen Celtic challenge Rangers to become Scottish football's dominant force in the early 21st century. Few tales are as intriguing as that of Celtic and their managers. The club was the epitome of managerial stability during its first century and only six men had been Celtic manager by the time of the club's centenary in 1988. Each of them - Willie Maley, Jimmy McStay, Jimmy McGrory, Jock Stein, David Hay and Billy McNeill - had been Celtic players who then went on to become team manager. Once McNeill departed in 1991, however, Celtic shook off their conservative, stable image. The club appointed seven managers in nine years, including Wim Jansen and Dr Jozef Venglos from overseas. Other 1990s incumbents, including Lou Macari and John Barnes, managed only for a matter of months while Tommy Burns and Liam Brady lived out their stretches under extreme pressure.
"The Head Bhoys" provides a detailed examination of each individual who has held this key position at the club. Interviews with those close to the action at Celtic down the years highlight the value of each manager's contribution to the club, assessing their strengths, weaknesses and lasting legacies. A tale of intrigues and tensions, disaster and glory, with portraits of some giant individuals, this book should be of interest not only to Celtic supporters but to all followers of football.

The game descended into farce, with the Uruguayan police forced to take to the pitch with batons to separate the brawling players.
