Get the smelling salts tae revive Charlie right away, emergency. ;D ;D ;D ;D.
Apparently Celtic once had a goalkeeper called Jock Wallace (No, I didn't know that either). That is if you believe Brian McGuirk in his book Celtic F.C: The Ireland Connection. p.140. Not the greatest of books.

I doubt if he ever made the first team Ixus2. In fact I doubt his very name is correct. But, according to the chronology of the book, inexact as it is I would say it would be sometime in the early to mid 1930s, after the tragic death of John Thomson and when American goalkeeper Joe Kennaway was first choice keeper.

How wrong you are JameseyBhoy he did make the firt team on several occasions according to Kerrydale Street... Wallace, John Falkirk-born goalkeeper John Wallace signed for Celtic on November 5 1932 from Stonehouse Violet. He made his competitive first team debut in a 4-0 league win at Third Lanark on November 26th in place of the ill Joe Kennaway. Coal miner Wallace was a steady keeper and was solid cover for Kennaway until eventually being freed by Celtic in April 1934. He had played 18 games for the Celts. John went on to play for Coleraine, Derry City and Belfast Celtic. He was obviously nicknamed 'Jock' in preference to John...I wonder if was O'Ffended by this when he played in Norn Irn.
