‘Pitch was invaded in a misguided and criminal attempt to get the game stopped,’ David Potter on Celtic in 1962

[Winning Captains]

Another fine article by David Potter, this time on season 1961-62 when the troops were very much Bhoys Behaving Badly. If your granddad moans at you about the Green Brigade show him this...

I was there,as a wee 12 yo bhoy,scared,bewildered and totally pissed off,and I had to walk it home to the east end,missed the bus.

Really interesting to know that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

There's no game like football for stirring up emotions, there's certainly no club like Celtic where that emotional attachment is so apparent.

I think I have a handle on my emotions for the best part, but the football, and Celtic, is my emotional valve and outlet.

On another note, the article is another reminder of some of the not-so-great times of being a Celtic fan and another prompt to perhaps enjoy this current era a wee bit more.

Thanks to both Davids......great stuff
