Celtic Soul Podcast Episode 69 with More than 90 Minutes, Editor Andrew Milne chatting to Gary Kelly

His Legacy is the Cancer Centre named after him in Georges Street, Drogheda. Gary a working class kid from Marian Park, who from an early age had a ball at his feet.

As Leeds United captain the fans called him a leader now they call him a legend after 17 years at the club. Leeds is a team and city very close to his heart but the town of good old Drogheda has always been and always will be home.

An International star for Jack Charlton and Mick McCarthy at World Cups as the Drogheda people looked on with pride as he lined out in the Green of Ireland. The Top Shop and Ollie’s Bars were filled to capacity cheering him on in distance lands at all hours.

The money from his testimonial game against Celtic would not only fund a cancer support centre in his hometown but money would be split with a cancer charity in Leeds.

Gary lives the quite life in his hometown now and is not interested in the limelight and after numerous requests to interview him he finally agreed to share his journey with us.

The Gary Kelly’s story will inspire many and is worth telling it’s a story of family, friends and football..

Celtic Soul Podcast Episode 68 Jason Maloney, Shamrock Rovers

Celtic Soul Podcast Episode 68 with More than 90 Minutes, Editor Andrew Milne chatting to Jason Maloney

If football teams were people then Jason Maloney would be married to Shamrock Rovers but he would also keep Celtic as a Mistress and would enjoy the occasional fling on football weekends around Europe on his many travels over many years. Jason could be described as a Terrace Anorak, who enjoys the whole football experience and not just the 90 minutes on the terrace. He is also the former editor of the Shamrock Rovers Fanzine – the Glenmalure Gazzette.

The interview kicks off with Jason talking about how he suffered recently with Covid19 and he had a word or two for the conspiracy theorists before the conversation turns to Celtic and the season we have just witnessed as we stumbled from one crisis to another in a season where there seemed to be no plan B.

Jason chats to Andrew about manager in waiting Eddie Howe’s CV from his time at Bournemouth including some decent signings he made along with a few bad ones. The bhoys shoot the breeze about Scott Brown’s time at Celtic and the improvement we saw when Brendan Rodgers arrived.

Many buses and trips to see Celtic were discussed including many in Europe with the Gallowgate Travel Club before the conversation turns to Shamrock Rovers, Fan Ownership and the recent 2 million euros investment in the club by Dermot Desmond.

Jason also shares some great stories of his travels to see different teams abroad including St. Pauli and how big a part football culture plays in his life and how much he is missing the whole fan experience.

No Celtic Soul Podcast would be complete without the guest climbing into the Time Machine and Jason travels back to 1998 when Celtic stopped the 10.

Celtic Soul Podcast Episode 70 Tommy Sheridan, Political Activist

Celtic Soul Podcast Episode 70 with More than 90 Minutes, Editor Andrew Milne chatting to Tommy Sheridan.

Tommy Sheridan is a political activist, a former SMP, Celtic Fan and even popped up on celebrity big brother and has been very active in the Scottish Independence movement.

The conversation kicks off with Tommy and Andrew looking back over last season as Neil Lennon, Peter Lawell and Scott Brown all signed off at Celtic. While they look back and ask did the rot set in before Brendan Rodgers left the club? and talk about a recent interview with John McGinn where he spoke about what went wrong with him signing to Celtic before he headed for Birmingham and signed to Aston Villa.

Modern Football gets a going over and how important it is to have unity among the Celtic support with the vulture funds circling for a bigger piece of the pie as Super League/ New Champions League gets closer with each passing season.

The level of hatred, anti-Irish anti Catholic bile witnessed last Saturday in Georges Square when business premises were forced to close as the Rangers fans are called out once again for their actions. History tells us that their actions are nothing new and we must keep calling it out for what it is but if they showed Glasgow in a bad light while in the Pollokshields, local residents came out to stop two people from being taken from their homes, who the Police said were illegal immigrants, showed the true spirit of Glasgow. One City, Many Cultures.

Tommy goes onto speak with compassion when he talks about the Scotland he wants to live in which leads into the recent Scottish elections and the support that is growing for another referendum for an Independent Scotland while a border poll in Ireland also gets closer.

Palestine gets discussed, the solidarity showed by Celtic fans from the terraces and stands of Celtic Park and the disappointment of the club taking down the recent display of solidarity in an empty stadium as innocent Palestinian men, woman and children are bombed and murdered on a daily basis by War Criminals masquerading as victims.

Tommy jumps into the Celtic Soul Time Machine and goes back to Dixie Deans making the headlines in Cup Finals and European Semi Finals with the backdrop of the Miners being on strike as Glasgow homes fell into darkness.
