Product Description

Jimmy Mc Menemy played for Celtic for almost twenty years at a time when Celtic were at the top of Scottish & world football. He remains without doubt one of the great characters of early 20th century Scottish football & his story deserves to be told. Jimmy Mc Menemy was one of Celtic & Scotlands truly great players. He played for Celtic for almost twenty years at a time when Celtic were at the top of Scottish & world football & he was the man that made it all happen for them generally agreed to be the star of the team that won six League Championships in a row from 1905 until 1910. He also played his part in quite a few triumphs for Scotland notably against England in 1910 & 1914. Arguably his contribution to the Celtic cause as a player was matched by his contribution in the late 1930s as the trainer of the great Celtic side who won the all-British Empire Exhibition Trophy of 1937.
