Celtic Legends v Manchester United Legends
Nov 24th
Help a life today @ www.oxfam.org.uk Celtic Legends v Manchester United Legends playing to raise donations for the Oxfam East Africa Drought Appeal Celtic and Man U Legends players thanked fans for their amazing support during Oxfam’s East Africa appeal match at Celtic Park, as the total raised from the game is revealed to be more than £300000, and still counting. With cheers from the 55000 fans who packed Celtic Park still ringing in their ears, the players – from hat-trick hero Henrik Larsson to Holywood heartthrob Gerard Butler – also take away the message that football isn’t just for fun, but it can also make a real difference to people’s lives, raising money for desperately needed essentials, such as water, food, shelter and livestock in East Africa. The Legends match saw former players from Manchester United and Celtic joining a host of celebrities for a fiercely contested match which ended Celtic Legends 5 – Manchester United Legends 2. Former Celtic player John Kennedy, whose career was cut short by injury, kindly donated his share of the gate receipts from last night’s testimonial match to Oxfam’s East Africa Appeal. Other funds were raised through donations on the night, SMS text messages from the audience watching at home, online donations through the Oxfam website, and a charity auction. Wales striker and Celtic legend John Hartson said:”Playing in a football match like last night’s is a pleasure and a privilege; playing on the winning team well that’s even …

Legends of the Celts 6/6
Nov 17th
Celts is a modern term used to describe any of the European peoples who spoke, or speak, a Celtic language. The term is also used in a wider sense to describe the modern descendants of those peoples, notably those who participate in a Celtic culture. The historical Celts were a diverse group of tribal societies in Iron Age Europe. Proto-Celtic culture formed in the Early Iron Age in Central Europe (Hallstatt period, named for the site in present-day Austria). By the later Iron Age (La Tène period), Celts had expanded over a wide range of lands: as far west as Ireland and the Iberian Peninsula, as far east as Galatia (central Anatolia), and as far north as Scotland. The earliest direct attestation of a Celtic language are the Lepontic inscriptions, beginning from the 6th century BC. Continental Celtic languages are attested only in inscriptions and place-names. Insular Celtic is attested from about the fourth century AD in ogham inscriptions. Literary tradition begins with Old Irish from about the eighth century. Coherent texts of Early Irish literature, such as the Táin Bó Cúailnge, survive in 12th century recensions. By the early first millennium AD, following the expansion of the Roman Empire and the Great Migrations (Migration Period) of Germanic peoples, Celtic culture had become restricted to the British Isles (Insular Celtic), and the Continental Celtic languages ceased to be widely used by the sixth century. “Celtic Europe” today refers to the lands surrounding the …
