We requested help yesterday from Mike Maher in order to identify the members of the Celtic Supporters Association committee in this 1988 photo that was taken during the 1988 Celtic centennial season. We are happy to inform that this assignment was completed effectively and promptly, and Mike is very grateful to all of the responders.
From left to right, in Celtic Supporters Association blazers, Isa Bonner.George Delaney, Jim Brodie, Pat Quinn (head), and Francey Hinton. Jim Ward, Eddie Devine, and John Hughes on their knees. During Celtic’s centennial season, all were members of the Association committee.
Mike sent out a brief update late last night (Celtic Park time) and asked that everyone who kindly replied to our request be thanked. The man with the amazing mustache, Mike, takes center stage in this picture as he shakes hands with Jim Brodie from CSA.
The sad tale of the man who was also from NZCSC and who was the driving force behind both Mike and Jim is the main focus of the update.
Mike clarified, “A member of the NZCSC who was also over at that time is to my immediate left.” “I cannot recall his full name – he was also referred to as Jock.
“I didn’t know at the time that he had a fatal illness and was occasionally in excruciating agony, but his visit was also his way of saying farewell to friends and family. He had been in New Zealand for a long time, but I believe he was drinking in the Smiddy in Partick.
