Thank you for re-starting this thread.

Football wise, it's a good year for me. In particular, in three weeks time, I travel to Madrid to watch the Real Madrid versus Elche match at the Bernabéu stadium. Looking forward to that.


More generally, and more importantly, it's appropriate now for me to disclose my sporting love. Many on this site would assume that my main sporting interest is the NY Yankees but that's not the case - albeit I love the Yankees' history of the 1920s an 1930s.


Rather, my team is a football (soccer) team. Belfast Celtic. They haven't played since 1949 but there's not a day goes by that I don't think of this team.


The video below is a documentary produced in 1989, 40 years after Celtic retired from football. To a non-Northern Irish person, it probably has a slow start but is well worth watching. It's my team.


If you know your history .....
