Sunny Jim Young - Celtic Legend

There is also an ebook version available of this title, it is for sale from Amazon or your usual provider. 

'Sunny' Jim Young is reckoned by some Celtic historians to be the greatest Celt of them all, winning nine League Championships (three as captain) and six Scottish Cups. His tragic death at 40 was a loss to all of football.

A Kilmarnock man, he joined Celtic in 1903 from Bristol Rovers and was an integral part of the team which won six League Championships in a row from 1905 - 1910

After he became captain led the team to success in another three Championships between 1914 and 1916 before he received a bad injury which ended his career.

He was part of the mighty half-back line of Young, Loney and Hay which Celtic supporters talk about to this day, and was one of the great characters of Scottish football in the era before the Great War.

He also won the Scottish Cup on six occasions, but amazingly was only capped once by Scotland in a full International. His death in 1922 in a motor-cycling accident when he was only 40 plunged all of Scottish football into sadness.
