Celtic's Cult Heroes is devoted to 20 players who, over the years, have won a special place in the hearts of the Parkhead faithful - not necessarily the greatest footballers, but a unique brotherhood of mavericks and stalwarts, local lads and big signings. The cast list alone is enough to stir up the memories and tug at the heartstrings of any Hoops fan - Stein, Johnstone and Nicholas, Larsson, McInally and Aitken - recalling how these charismatic personalities used to ignite passion on the terraces. Find out which Celtic icon scored direct from a corner, was made to retake it and promptly scored again. Who celebrated his Scottish Cup Final hat-trick with a somersault, and which heroes were affectionately known as 'Yogi Bear' and 'The Golden Crust'. Discover and delight in the magical qualities of these 20 mere mortals elevated to cult status by the green half of Glasgow.
David Potter has written over 20 books on football and cricket, centred mostly around his greatest sporting love, Celtic FC. He has penned acclaimed biographies of Willie Maley, Jimmy Quinn, Jimmy Delaney, Bobby Murdoch, Patsy Gallacher and Tommy McInally, and recently co-authored The Encyclopaedia of Scottish Football with Phil H Jones.
