JOHN BONNAR OF CELTIC F.C., WILLIE MALEY TESTIMONIAL TROPHY, 1953
1/2
Description
the twin-handled trophy inscribed WILLIE MALEY TESTIMONIAL CELTIC V BOHEMIANS 10TH AUGUST 1953 to one side, WON BY JOHN BONNAR to the other, in E.P.N.S., on ebonised plinth base 16cm high Note: Willie Maley, a figure who needs no introduction. The first manager of Celtic and one of the most successful in British sporting history. Despite over four decades of service, it wouldn't be until 1953 that a testimonial game was finally arranged. Indeed, the then 85-year old kicked off the game against Irish opposition Bohemians, a match Celtic were fated to win 10-1. An apt send off for a man so important to the club's history. This trophy was awarded to John Bonnar, goalkeeper and key player in another important victory that year - as discussed in the next lot.
