Interview sessions that take you out of the box....a must have for true Celtic fans.

As with the rest of the books in the publisher's series, the Celtics version of Where Have You Gone? is a walk down memory lane for sports fans. Sports move so fluidly and unendingly forward that stars and bit players alike are left by the wayside when their effectiveness wanes. The greatest of all time receive post-career accolades, but millions of athletes are not even afforded the opportunity to announce retirement. Their careers fizzle, and then they are gone.

The authors bring the Celtics of old back for an encore, whether they played a full twenty-year career, or had, in the case of Glenn McDonald, "two minutes of fame."

THIS BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF INTERVIEWS WITH MANY FORMER CELTIC STARS AND SOME NOT A STAR AT ALL. SOME OF THE PEOPLE INTERVIEWED ARE NATE ARCHIBALD, BILL SHARMAN, HANK FINKEL AND PAUL WESTPHAL. THE INTERVIEWS ARE ONLY 5 PAGES OR LESS AND INCLUDE A PHOTO. I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK, FOR IT BROUGHT BACK SOME GREAT NOSTALGIA. GLAD THEY TALKED ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING TODAY AND WHAT IT WAS LIKE BEING A CELTIC. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS WAS MARVIN BARNES WHO SPEAKS FREELY ABOUT HIS ADDICTION AND HIS RECOVERY. SOME GREAT STUFF. VERY RECOMMENDED.
