Product Description
Book Jacket
Celtic is one of the most famous and successful football clubs in the world. All around the globe, supporters revere the green and white hoops and follow the exploits of the current team. Everyone know about Lisbon 1967, nine-in-a-row and the recent boardroom takeover, but what about the rest of the clubs history?

Dreams and Songs to sing is a compelling examination of Celtic FC from its very earliest beginnings right up to the present day. Building on the authors ground breaking The Glory and the Dream as well as on a mass of new material, interviews with key figures and much original research and information only recently come to hand, this book is a truly indispensable read for anyone interested in the development of one of the games leading clubs.

Packed with intriguing anecdotes and invaluable insights, the book also provides a fresh perspective on the transformation in Celtics fortunes and image during the Jock Stein era, takes an unflinching look at the betrayal of the clubs idealistic beginnings, and explains the reason why the boardroom dynasties suddenly became ripe for takeover in the 1990s. A human story as much as a football story, Dreams and Songs recounts the fluctuating fortunes of one of Europe's most illustrious clubs.

"A lucid account of a Scottish institution and a must for Celtic supporters" --The Herald

"A compelling book...the subject matter is fascinating and the authors dig deep enough to make the past come to life" --Irish Post

"With succinct writing, the authors pin down ambitious and follies, achievements and misdemeanours ... Campbell and Woods perform with flair and consistency" --Scotland on Sunday

"Once in a while, gems of the [football history] genre can be found among the spoil heaps of recycled information. Dreams, and Songs to Sing...falls into this category" --Sunday Times

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you know your history?, 24 Jan 2001
By A Customer
A wonderful historical account of Britain's first European Cup winners, the world famous Celtic FC. Campbell and Woods race along in this soccer journal with a meaningful factual intent that is so sadly missing from so many of today's football scripts.

Dreams, and Songs to Sing is a must for every fan with a need to know the triumphs and travails of this great club which has had such an effect on the world of football.

Hail, Hail
