From the publisher:
At the beginning of the 1930s, as a new Celtic Park emerged to dominate Glasgow’s east end skyline, Willie Maley was assembling the most exciting, attacking young Celtic team, seeking to restore the grand old club to its former glory and take his side across the Atlantic to the New World for the first time, thus fulfilling a long-held dream.
What happened over the next few years is perhaps the most remarkable series of events in the long history of the fairytale club, featuring a cast list of names who are revered to this day. Legends such as the three Young Princes, John Thomson, Jimmy McGrory and Peter Scarff… and so many others.
With input and insights from family members of those involved, follow author Matt Corr as he takes you step by step through the historic triumphs, the ground-breaking adventures and the heartbreaking tragedies which made up the first part of that incredible decade.
It is a football story like no other.
