From the publisher:
Following the series of tragedies which dominated the first part of the decade, Willie Maley and Jimmy McMenemy are building another truly great Celtic side, which will establish Glasgow’s grand old team as not just the best in Scotland but far beyond. New heroes such as Jimmy Delaney, Malcolm MacDonald and so many others emerge to join the remaining old guard, led by the Great McGrory, and soon records are tumbling as the Celts reach new heights, embarking on a glorious trophy-laden spree which culminated in the stunning Empire Exhibition success in our Golden Jubilee year of 1938. And the end of the decade brought the outbreak of war and the passing of an era which had spanned more than half a century, as the veteran Maley reluctantly took his leave of Celtic, the cause to which he had devoted his life. With input and insights from family members of those involved, author Matt Corr takes you step by step through the historic triumphs and achievements of Willie Maley’s last great Celtic team. It is a remarkable story.
