{"product_id":"9781907463853","title":"Life with the Lions","description":"Ian Young played several seasons at Celtic Football Club in the '60s after signing from Neilston Waverley in 1961. \u003cp\u003eDuring his time at the Club, the athletic, strong and tough-tackling full-back enjoyed league and cup success, and has often been credited in helping to turn the Club around by ending rivals Rangers' physical domination. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIan's name is warmly chanted in the famous Celtic song, Celtic, Celtic, That's the Team for Me' ('There's Fallon, Young and Gemmel...') \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe was also capped at Under-23 level for Scotland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupporters and media reporters of that time say Ian's tackle on Rangers winger Willie Johnston in the League Cup final would spark the beginning of a Celtic team's ambition to match and defeat their greatest rivals with strength. It's perhaps no coincidence that Celtic would go onto make history soon after with the legendary Nine-in-a-Row era. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIan's autobiography follows the path from the humble beginnings in the junior ranks to European Cup nights and playing in front of 107,000 fans against Rangers. Just some of the highlights of a remarkable journey. The book also charts Ian's life, work and faith journey after he left Celtic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIan Young is also listed in the few Celtic players who may well have turned out for Rangers, but for fate and circumstances. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIan ended his career quietly and without a fuss. This autobiography gives the reader a chance to get to know a player who served Celtic Football Club during its most significant years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039303942384,"sku":"9781907463853","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907463853_p0.jpg?v=1763618708","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907463853","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
