Trivia

  • Having been accredited with ‘Scottish Manager of the Year’, Jock Stein became British Manager of the Year as voted by a panel of football writers in London – so picking up another £500.
  • Celtic moved on from Bermuda to New York and New Jersey. This game was played at Kearney in New Jersey, a place Celtic had a connection with from the past and would be a centre for future young Celtic teams on tour.

New Jersey All Stars v Celtic, Friendly, 18/5/66

Celtic and the New York Mafia. Standing to the right of Paul Castellano is Frankie Folan from Dumbarton/Brooklyn – professional wrestler ‘Silver Scot’. Ran a charter flight business out of Bay Ridge. TKD knew both Folan and Castellano well.
