• Celtic: Changing Faces
Celtic: Changing Faces is a montage of team groups and player profiles from 1888 to the present day from the archive of Paul Lunney, who has been a devoted follower of Scottish football. In this book he weaves a wonderful tapestry of imagery of players who have done so much for the club in its long history. Celtic have won the Scottish League Championship on 44 occasions, most recently in the 2012-13 season and the Scottish Cup 36 times. In 1967 Celtic won an unprecedented quintuple: not only becoming the first British team to win the European Cup but also winning the Scottish League Championship, the Scottish Cup, the Scottish League Cup, and the Glasgow Cup. Celtic also reached the 1970 European Cup Final, and the 2003 UEFA Cup Final. This book encapsulates some of the glory by featuring star players down the ages. Thankfully, almost every year since the formation of these 'Bould Boys' in Glasgow's East End, a team photograph of Celtic FC has been produced. The exceptions to the rule of course being 1914-18 and 1939-45 wars. This collection contains many of those annual prints, and from the black and white Victorian early days right through to the modern era of glorious color we can observe the many changes in football fashion and facial appearance. From the heavy jerseys, long pants and cumbersome boots of 1888 to the slick and streamlined styles of today's strips and footwear, the contrasts are certainly striking. Likewise we see how faces differ over the passing decades.
