A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A sequel to the bestselling We Are Celtic Supporters, first published in hardback only as Faithful Through and Through, this is a fully revised and updated edition. Richard Purden takes a fresh look at Celtic s relationship with individuals and institutions who have had made a unifying and cohesive impact on the club, its support and the team. Purden talks to a selection of supporters, ex-players (Henrik Larsson, John Hartson, Pierre van Hooijdonk, Pat Stanton), managers (Martin O Neil, Neil Lennon) and Celtic insiders (Matt McGlone, Willie Haughey), while travelling to a number of historical locations. Purden discusses Celtic in the context of faith, politics and identity with cultural figures including actors (Peter Mullan, Martin Compston), screen-writers (Paul Laverty), troubadours (Noel Gallagher and Shane MacGowan) and politicians (Jim Murphy and George Galloway), who take us on a Celtic odyssey, underlining why this team from Glasgow s East End personify a way of life.
