Product Description
Celtic & Me - Confessions from the Jungle is the funny, original story of Dominik Diamond's very public life as a Celtic supporter. Shockingly, he started out as a Rangers fan but later realized the error of his ways and controversially changed allegiance. His outspoken views on Rangers have made him more than a little unpopular on one side of Glasgow. In Celtic & Me, find out what part he played in Martin O'Neill becoming Celtic manager. Why Seville was so awful? Why he was banned from Celtic TV? Which old firm manager is best at pub trivia machines? Which Rangers legend made Dominik weep with his kindness and which one threatened to out him on live TV for being a teenage Rangers fan? And what happened the night he was threatened outside a Glasgow kebab shop? From sickening bigotry to the joy he felt at being part of the Celtic family, Celtic & Me is the story of a man who refused to shut up and the price you pay when you do that as an Old Firm fan with a well-known face.
About the Author
Dominik Diamond's comedy career was doomed when he introduced the host of Have I Got News For You as Sean Deayton when doing warm-up for their first ever show. But he did squeeze out a colourful media career, from the Gamesmaster phenomenon to documentaries proving God's existence. He has survived a decade as a national newspaper columnist, had one of the UK's most successful radio phone-ins, inspired Simon Pegg to be a comedian, punched one half of Little Britain on live TV, helped launch the Fratellis, sang onstage with Glasvegas and still found time to support Celtic.

A trip down memory lane,
This review is from: Celtic and Me: Confessions from the Jungle (Paperback)
An excellent insight into the life of a Celtic supporter and how, through his passion for this club,he was able to delve into the very darkest corners of himself.You can really feel the swell and atmosphere of "the jungle"and for me that was an emotion that I wanted to relive(as a child I frequented ParkHead on numerous occasions) and through this book I was certainly able to do it.Entertaining,witty and uncomfortably honest at times;just the kind of read that I like.

A "diamond" read,
By
This review is from: Celtic and Me: Confessions from the Jungle (Paperback)
I read this in one go, and despite the Old Firm meaning sweat FA to me (being a mancunian) I still couldn't stop reading it. Funny, interesting, educational and sprinkled with a hint of voodoo, and it even has pictures in the middle so if you're trying to read it while steaming you can just look at the pics instead so your eyes don't go fuzzy and hurt. The second best book to come from Scotland after Trainspotting.

Very Enjoyable - Far far better than I thought it would be!,
This review is from: Celtic and Me: Confessions from the Jungle (Paperback)
A wonderfully honest examination of a man's battle with coke and his love affair with football - Dominik must be incredibly talented - he has all the talent to draw himself up to incredible heights - only to bring himself crashing down - with frightening regularity. A very personal telling of a series of alcohol and coke-fuelled slow-motion car-crashes - I read it from cover to cover in a single sitting.
