    Dunno but my earliest memory of Celtic was probably 1999 so I was 5 or 6 in the pub watching us play the Huns.

    My dad and all his family are Tims so I was born into Celtic although up until I was about 10/11 I didn't always pay that much attention. I got serious around 1990-just in time for the horrors of the early part of that decade. Still, better days followed. Apart from my family and friends the club means more to me than anything.

    I remember swimming around in my dad's gonads in 1967, going mental to get out and see a game.

    First stood in the Jungle at 5 years old. Moved to England after that and didn't get to another game till about 1983.

    Love it, win lose or draw.

    Hail Hail.

    The year i was born 1990, there was no choice with my family, grandparents on my mothers side Donegal and Grandparents on my dads side from Magherafelt and Coleraine. Both my Mother and Father are/were Celtic daft (RIP dad) My first proper memory though was winning the cup against airdrie and that was probably when i fell in love with it all, my hometown Condorrat in Cumbernauld had the party of all parties, little did i know that in 1998 the place would go wild. I love Celtic and everything that comes with it.

    Born late 90’s but due to strange family situation only became obsessed with it from about age 7-8. Been priority number one since then.

    I think it's interesting how everyone born in the mid-to-late 80s grew up at a time when we were absolutely dire as a side. Went to a 'mixed' primary school that was about 90% * and they were * unbearable during this time. Even after 1994, it took a while until it felt like we were going anywhere. Paul McStay was basically the only player I gave a * about until we signed van Hooijdonk.

    I used to have a table football game and the players where blue or red. I got some tippex and changed the reds to whites then got a green pen and drew the hoops on. I remember doing a really * job of it and I was never good at the game either.

    In retrospect, no other club was gunna be for me, I represented Celtic everyday, I was the enemy within amongst Arsenal, Man utd and Liverpool dickheads, all with the same rhetoric and lack of respect but I could always remind them who were the first British club to Win the.... erm Champions league or European cup as it was known. I pitied them in some respects, ok they had it good back then but honestly it doesn't beat being one of us its as simple as that. Celtic are the best and that's a pure fact, Even for an English born person. I was a lone wolf with no pack but I had my tribe and my colours showed everyone who represented me...ok i'll stop * am I on about. I know what I mean lol
