HISTORY BHOY

Tour guide, Matt Corr, is putting his Celtic knowledge into print

- Matt Corr

AS a Stadium Tour Guide at Celtic Park, Matt Corr spends many hours each week re-telling and recreating the unique history of Celtic, bringing the legendary characters and events of over 130 years of trophies, triumphs and tears to life for supporters and visitors alike.

Matt has now taken to sharing his own take on some of the key chapters of the Celtic story in print.

His debut as a published author, Invincible, was released in May of this year, and took us step-by-step through that wonderful, magical 2016/17 season, as the Bhoys secured an unprecedented, unbeaten domestic Treble.

The book is laced with memories and anecdotes from Matt’s own 55-year journey following the club he loves all over Europe.

Now Matt’s latest offering, Walfrid & The Bould Bhoys, is a collaboration with two well-known Celtic authors to produce a very special insight into the early days of the new football club.

Liam Kelly published Our Stories & Our Songs in 2015, following that up last year with Take Me to Your Paradise.

In this new book, he focuses on the Founding Fathers, those men whose compassion, vision and energy created Celtic for the most wonderful of reasons, to help those struggling to survive – those of our forefathers and mothers who had nothing, and whose origins and principles set us apart as so much more than a football club, even to this day.

David Potter has drawn from a lifetime of following the club to write scores of insightful and informative Celtic books, which will be valued for generations of Hoops supporters to come.
