Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
June 1, 1993, saw the final rumble in one of the greatest jungles in modern football--the North Enclosure at Parkhead, home to Glasgow Celtic FC. In its day the Jungle was admired and respected as one of the greatest of all football terraces, ranking alongside the Liverpool Kop and Manchester United's Stretford End as home to one of the most fanatical and passionate group of fans that modern football has ever seen. John Quinn's Jungle Tales is an unashamed nostalgia trip down Jungle memory lane, starting from the extraordinary evening in June 1993 when 20,000 fans arrived to pay farewell to The Jungle and to witness a clash between the past giants of Celtic and Manchester United. Jimmy Johnstone, Billy McNeill and Murdo MacLeod all turned on the style before a spellbound crowd, providing the perfect prelude to Quinn's marvellous collection of reminiscences of those who experienced The Jungle over the decades. The cast includes fans, players and celebrities. The stories of warm and funny, with tales of brilliance from the greats--Johnstone, Dalglish, Nicholas. What shines through is a sense of the camaraderie and bonds established through the love of football--a welcome antidote to the ways in which many books like this tend to glamorise violence on the terraces. --Jerry Brotton

Synopsis
Years of tradition ended for Celtic supporters when their stand, the Jungle, was demolished. For this book John Quinn interviewed the people who shaped the history of the Jungle, from star players, past and present, who describe their favourite memories, to the fans who recall nostalgic scenes.
