The Story of Scotland’s First Bad-Boy Football Superstar Revealed

Modern-day Scottish football probably has more than its fair share of heroes and villains, but few players of the modern game can compare with the antics of Scotland’s first bad-boy football superstar as revealed in ‘Dan Doyle, The Life and Death of a Wild Rover’.

Legendary Scotland and Celtic captain Dan Doyle was a character unlike any other, before or since, in the world of football. A brilliant player but with a stormy temper and a troubled relationship with gambling and drink, Doyle’s life on and off the pitch makes for an incredible read.

The astonishing story of the most dominant and controversial footballer of his generation is told by author Marie Rowan - novelist, schoolteacher, fourth generation Celtic supporter and part-time tour guide at Celtic Park.

Ms Rowan said, “Until his retirement in 1899, Doyle was always a controversial figure. Involved in an on-pitch incident that resulted in the death of another player, prone to vocal outbursts against opponents, referees and the FA and even the subject of a prolonged campaign in the English press to have him permanently banned from playing in the country, Doyle never tempered his character.

“In many ways Doyle was free to do as he liked because of his incredible gift as a footballer and because a Celtic or Scotland team with him in it was infinitely better than one without. Nevertheless, his signing resulted in Celtic being boycotted by English clubs if he was in the team!”

‘Dan Doyle, The Life and Death of a Wild Rover’, featuring a foreword by current Celtic legend Neil Lennon, is published on 12th April 2007 priced at £7.99.
