And the winner is . . .

Angela Jaap from Glasgow has won our Sean Fallon Book Competition. Almost all entrants second time round gave the correct answer to this question:

When Sean Fallon was manager of Dumbarton, which football legend did he try to sign for The Sons?

The answer was of course Johann Cruyff, a poor man’s Paddy McCourt if ever there was one.

Congratulations to Angela and thanks to all those who took part. Don’t get down, get even – go out and buy a copy. It’s one of the best Celtic books of recent times. Here’s our review of the book here:

Celtic's Iron Man - injuries couldn't stop him!

A fascinating photo from the Sean Fallon biography ‘Celtic’s Iron Man’ by Stephen Sullivan.

Despite all these injuries his dedication to the cause shone through. He once played more than half a match with a double fracture in his arm.

One of the best Celtic books in recent times, here’s your chance to win a copy of the Sean Fallon biography by Stephen Sullivan just by answering the question posed below. 

We hope the response is as good, if not better, than our first competition for Alex O’Henley’s book on the mercurial Malky MacDonald which was won by Arthur Kennedy from Southampton.
