Celtic in the Thirties by Matt Corr – Volume One

Celtic in the Thirties, Vol 1. published by Celtic Star Books, 4 November 2024. Available to pre-order now at Celticstarbooks.com

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.

Celtic in the Thirties by Matt Corr  – Volume Two

Celtic in the Thirties, Vol 1. published by Celtic Star Books, 4 November 2024. Available to pre-order now at Celticstarbooks.com

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 and these are remarkable books. Order your copies now.
