Celtic United: Glasgow and Manchester - Two Football Clubs, One Passion
Bestselling author Frank Worrall digs deep to highlight the similarities between clubs’ fans and teams, builds a vivid picture of the tragedies and triumphs that have befallen both clubs, and looks at the altruistic base behind their formation.
He also discusses the reasons why United and Celtic became the first two British clubs to win the European Cup, how they have each had a brilliant but tragic star within their ranks (George Best and Jimmy Johnstone), and analyzes the work of the men who have played for and managed each club. Also given a voice in this chronicle are the fans who proudly swear allegiance to both teams. Rod Stewart, arguably their most famous fan, explains why he loves them enough to write a song with the lyrics, "You’re Celtic, United, but baby I’ve decided you’re the best team I’ve ever seen."
