Episode Notes

Johnny Doyle came from a Celtic-daft family and had to be persuaded to give up his local supporters club membership to try and become a professional footballer. Under Ally MacLeod's guidance, teenage Doyle went on to win international honours before Celtic spent a record fee to take the flying winger to his spiritual home. He was one of Scottish football's most controversial and memorable characters before his tragic death at the age of 30.

In this episode, we discuss Paul's new book about the great man and go through some of the funniest & most important stories included.
