1 of 4 #scotsfoundedfootball OTD 1880 Jimmy McMenemy born Rutherglen. Won the Junior double with Alec Bennett and Rutherglen Glencairn in 1902. Pat Woods ‘A Celtic A-Z’ p. 113 uses a cracking quote to describe his genius. 2 of 4 Jimmy McMenemy was a ‘master strategist of infinite ability for whom the game is a series of chess moves...’ Intriguingly the piece comments on the Newcastle team who had visited Basle before Celtic and were criticised for their ’direct’ approach. They would get #scotchprofessor input. 3 of 4 He won 11 Leagues with Celtic. 6 Scottish Cups. One more with Partick Thistle. Became Manager of Thirds. Trainer with Celts. Master strategist... These are words which separate skilled players from a #scotchprofessor i.e. someone who thinks as well as plays.
