“Celtic Da’s are Invincible” – Free Father’s Day Card with Matt Corr’s Invincible

MOST of you won’t have realised that it’s Father’s Day on Sunday 21 June! And with it not being that easy to get to the shops these days – the card shops are still closed – we thought we’d try and assist by giving you the chance to get your Old Man a great gift with a Father’s Day card  and envelope included.

These Father’s Day cards can cost a few pounds and there’s always a massive queue in those shops but this year you don’t have to worry about all that! Simply order Matt Corr’s brilliant new book INVINCIBLE from The Celtic Star Bookstore and we’ll send you a Father’s Day Card and envelope with a signed copy of INVINCIBLE.

INVINCIBLE is a beautifully designed,, expensively produced hardback book – the paper is whiter than Brendan’s teeth – it is packed full of sensational colour photographs from Celtic’s Invincible Treble winning season 2016-17.

The wording inside our Father’s Day card reads as follows and there’s a pic of it below.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Thanks for being a Great Dad and giving me Celtic.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy INVINCIBLE!

The back of the card says:

INVINCIBLE has been getting great reviews from the supporters who have already ordered their own signed copy. You only want to give your Dad the best on Father’s Day so make sure he gets a signed copy of INVINCIBLE.

And if you’re the dad can we recommend you drop one or two subtle hints or you’re going to end up with more socks or slippers! Here’s a word or two from the author, who some of you may recognise from Celtic Park where Matt is one of the Tour Guides.

Campbell, Woods and Potter, Following in some Big Celtic Footsteps – Matt Corr

Click on the cover to order

I remember reading The Glory & the Dream, by Tom Campbell & Pat Woods, as a young lad. I was perhaps ten or eleven years old at the time. The cover photo, from distant memory, was of a jubilant Billy McNeill, our Cesar, celebrating his goal in that unforgettable 4-0 Scottish Cup Final victory of April 1969. Arms raised to the sky. Fists clenched. That is my memory.

That detail may be incorrect, sadly it was one of the books from my childhood that didn’t transfer to me or was loaned out at some point, however, what is definite is that my love of reading about Celtic has never dimmed in the near-50 years since I first picked that up.

I grew up on the stories of Tom and Pat, then David Potter and many others, men and women who took the time to put their own thoughts and memories down in print for others to share and for those who came behind them to understand. That is the true gift. Celtic history is for sharing. It is our gift to give and to receive. To pass on.

I’ve always dreamed of writing my own book on our beloved club, to leave my own gift if you like, and it still feels a bit surreal that I have now fulfilled that dream. When David, The Celtic Editor and I first met to discuss the possibility of working together to make this happen early last year, I was thrilled that he brought me a gift that afternoon, a framed print of Bobby Evans, which had been developed, I guess, to promote Tom Campbell’s book on the Celtic legend.

It was a lovely gesture, all the more so as Bobby was my dad’s hero. David could not possibly have known that. Sometimes these things just happen, a theme I return to frequently in my own book, INVINCIBLE, which was published on Friday 15 May.

Cesar understood that. He spoke about the ‘fairytale club.’ And we nodded. Here is Gordon Strachan looking in awe at Cesar’s achievements in the game, his fabulous medal collection proudly displayed on the wall of the Celtic boardroom.

That framed print of Bobby Evans now takes pride of place in my new, ever-developing Celtic Room (How old are you? – you may be asking), hanging side by side with the Lions, and with Henrik and my kids, and Olivier in Rome. Simple but classic, like the best things Celtic, and in life in general. My wife took a photograph of me doing something very similar to the former Celtic manager in that photograph above and when I showed it to The Celtic Star editor he pointed out that this one of WGS admiring Cesar’s extensive medal collection was what my own photograph reminded him of – apart from the hair.

I’m delighted to say that The Celtic Star Editor has given me another TWO of these fabulous Bobby Evans framed prints so that I can send it to a Celtic supporter who has purchased INVINCIBLE from thecelticstarbookstore.co.uk   

The first one was sent out to a Celtic supporter last week and we’ll send out the other one in time for Father’s Day to one of the Celtic Da’s receiving INVINCIBLE.

Hail Hail!

Matt Corr
