VERY RARE 9 CARAT GOLD MEDAL CELTIC F.C. - GLASGOW FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION CUP WINNERS 1904 MEDAL - INSCRIBED TO REAR 'WON BY CELTIC F.C. J.YOUNG' IN A 9 CARAT GOLD MOUNT James ‘Sunny Jim‘ Young is one of the greatest names in the rich history of Celtic, and one of the most successful players in the club’s history.Born in Kilmarnock the dour faced but big hearted half-back joined Celtic in May 1903 on a free transfer from Bristol Rovers and began a love affair with the club which was to last 14 incredible, trophy-laden years. He is said to have not come from a Celtic background, so continues the curious irony of great Celts with a non-Celtic background (e.g. Alec McNair etc).As for the nickname of ‘Sunny Jim’, it came from a cheesy advertisement for a breakfast cereal.Prior to becoming a Bhoy, Sunny Jim Young had been a self-confessed football mercenary quite prepared to play for any club which paid him a decent wage. But from the moment of his arrival at Parkhead, Sunny Jim Young developed an amazing affinity with a club in which he previously had no links with. It was to be a relationship which Celtic supporters would treasure forever.Sunny Jim Young made his debut in a goalless Charity Cup tie with Hibernian on 16th May 1903 and although originally played in defence he was soon moved to midfield from where he would orchestrate numerous wonderful Celtic successes for more than a decade.Immensely hard working and tough tackling Sunny Jim Young was to forge the perfect link between defence and attack and he was both the heartbeat and lungs of the Celtic side. His tireless running and battling runs were simply the inspiration for success after success.A natural born leader it was no surprise when Willie Maley appointed Sunny Jim Young captain in 1911. He would roar his team-mates on to victory and his pride in wearing the Hoops was obvious every second he was on the pitch. He also was the great man who helped to bring along many of the club’s future greats, such as Alec McNair.With Jim Young in the side Celtic won an incredible ten league championships and five Scottish Cups and no player contributed more to that glory than Sunny Jim. He may not have possessed the skills of some of his contemporaries but there was no one in the game who offered the effort and commitment of Sunny Jim Young.Surprisingly, he only received one international cap for a match in a 1-0 victory over Ireland. He did play in six Scottish League XI teams but the Scottish League XI did not win any of those matches. He deserved greater international recognition.If anyone is to question his ability, then they should note that he was Celtic’s captain through the bulk of the games in the unbeaten 66 games run in the league from November 1915-April 1917. An incredible achievement.After one incident at work where he injured his hand which put him out for three games, he lamented (likely with some humour): “Ye dinnae play fitba’ wi yer hand!”He also reiterated his respect for the support and his duty to repay them when on-field. In the 1913-14 season, Celtic were to play Motherwell away in the Cup, and due to the then extortionate prices, many Celtic fans said that if they had to pay that ticket price then they couldn’t afford the train ticket so walked down from Glasgow to the game. Sunny Jim Young so impressed and humbled by this gesture by supporters would point out to his fellow players as they passed the supporters:“Look at that! Walkin’ a the way fae Glesca! We’ve tae mak sure that they get guid performances fae us! They deserve it!”As a stout defender, he scored few goals but in season 1906-07 he chipped in with six goals, which included a double v Clyde (his only double) in a 3-3 draw. He at least got to score a goal v Rangers, in a thumping 4-0 victory in the Ne’er day derby match on 1 January 1914.During the war, as like many other Celts he remained at home and was working as an iron turner in an iron foundry (as he had done previously). This was a serious role, and heavy work plus he had family. Difficult for him was hearing of his old friends and Celtic colleagues who lost their lives in the fighting.What must be added about Sunny Jim Young is also that regardless of being non-Irish or Catholic etc he was as loved by the club, support and management as he himself loved all of them back. There were a number of other pioneers prior to him but he set in stone from early on what the club preached. It was the man and not any creed that mattered, and likely his success at Celtic paved the way for others (such as Alec McNair) to never need to further question ever coming to Celtic. Socially, his impact on the Celtic support was greater than people in these different times can truly understand.Back in those days, religion and politics were entwined, especially due to the Irish independence issue. Sunny Jim Young was though a Celtic man to the support first, and a Scots Protestant from Ayrshire somewhere after that. People like himself helped to make the club and ethos. World War One had really heightened tensions amongst communities in Scotland, and Sunny Jim Young is likely to have felt the impact too.As a measure of the high-esteem he was held in by all at Celtic is the fact that his testimonial in 1918 at Celtic Park attracted a crowd of 25,000. There is strong evidence that he was being possibly primed to be the next manager by Willie Maley. His length of service, success, and on-field leadership skills were skills that can’t be bought and so marked him rightly for the future slot. Willie Maley had touted a role for Sunny Jim Young as a trainer once his time on the field was ended, which was likely a stepping stone in time for the daunting task of taking over as manager.However, his playing career was ended early when he sustained a serious knee injury in September 1916 which he couldn’t shake off and so curtailed and ended his time at Celtic. A sad loss. His last match was a 1-0 victory over Hearts in the league on 30 September 1916. Celtic had won all five league games he had played in that season to date, plus also a 3-0 victory over Rangers in the Glasgow Cup semi-finals, and as Celtic were to win the league title by just 1pt over Rangers, his contribution in retrospect was as vital to the challenge as ever before.He was to eventually retire in 1917 due to the injury but not before playing 443 league & Scottish Cup games for his beloved Celtic and scoring 13 goals.During his time at Parkhead Celtic enjoyed a level of success they were not to witness again until the arrival of Jock Stein as manager. It was no coincidence that in time Sunny Jim Young’s departure would begin to see a slide in Celtic’s fortunes after 1917, as Celtic’s domestic hegemony was to come to an end.

Circle of James Gandy (1619-1689) “The Piked Eustace” Portrait of Sir Maurice Eustace, O.O.C., c. 1689, 122cms x 93cms (48" x 36 1/2"). (1) Having settled in Ireland at the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion, the Eustaces were a prominent ‘Old English’ family in Co. Kildare. The family seat was at Harristown, but little remains of the original castle. As the centuries passed, the family fortunes waxed and waned, with some Eustaces becoming Protestant, while most remained Catholic. There were several Maurice Eustaces active in Leinster in the late seventeenth century. Knighted around 1640, the wealthy lawyer and politician, Sir Maurice Eustace, was appointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland after the Restoration of Charles II. He lived at Harristown and had a townhouse “Damask” in Dublin, bounded by Dame Street and the River Liffey, on what is now Eustace Street. He had an illegitimate son, also named Maurice Eustace, who lived at Portlester in Co. Meath. The Lord Chancellor had a first cousin, also Maurice Eustace, who married Margaret, daughter of the Jacobite soldier, Sir Thomas Newcomen, of Sutton in Co. Dublin. According to family tradition, it is this Maurice Eustace who is depicted in the portrait. Created a baronet in 1685, and a privy councillor the following year, in 1689 Eustace was a Captain of Foot and raised a Regiment of Infantry, becoming a Colonel. Like his father-in-law, he was a Jacobite, fighting for James II, and after the defeat at the Battle of the Boyne was attainted and forced into exile in France. He continued in military service, and died in 1698. The Lord Chancellor also had a nephew (son of the Lord Chancellor’s younger brother William) also named Maurice Eustace, who inherited Harristown and was knighted in 1662. He married twice, firstly to Ann Colville and secondly to Clotilda Parsons. As he served as MP for Harristown in 1692, this Maurice must have avoided involvement in the war between James II and William of Orange. He died in 1708. The three-quarter length portrait is by an artist working in the Flemish Baroque tradition. This Continental style was introduced to Britain and Ireland by Van Dyke and made popular by his followers, including Peter Lely and Godfrey Kneller. Stylistically, the portrait can be attributed to the Dublin-born artist Charles Jervas, or to James Gandy or his son William Gandy, both of whom worked in Ireland. Wearing a large powdered wig, bright red coat and white cravat, with his left hand tucked into an embroidered waistcoat, Maurice Eustace looks very much an Irish gentleman squire of the late seventeenth century. His status is enhanced by the finery of his clothing; both waistcoat and red coat are adorned with spiral-patterned gilt buttons, and he wears a signet ring. The redcoat suggests a military context, as does the pommel of a sword visible at his waist. As well as his clothing, the sitter’s elegant stance, left hand on waist, two fingers extended, is typical of Jervas and Gandy portraits, as is the classical landscape in the background. The handling of fabric is also typical of their work. The overly large wig perhaps suggests a late seventeenth-century date. The damage left by the pike is clearly visible. However, the politics and dates of Jervas the painter do not tie in easily with those of the Jacobite Maurice Eustace. Born in Shinrone Co. Offaly around 1675, Jervas was apprenticed to Godfrey Kneller in London as a teenager. After several years in Paris and Rome, he settled back in London in 1708, and over the years following made regular visits to Dublin. Among his works are a full-length portrait of the Lord Chief Justice, Henry Boyle, 1st Earl of Shannon. He also painted General Godart Van Ginkel, later Earl of Athlone, and Speaker Conolly and his wife Katherine. Judging by the politics of his sitters, and his role as painter to the English court, it is unlikely that Jervas would paint a Jacobite who had fought for James II. It is more likely that the artist was from an earlier generation—perhaps James Gandy, who trained with Van Dyke and was court painter to the Duke of Ormonde, or his son William Gandy. James Gandy painted in a more French style, with softer tones. There were several portraits by him at Malahide Castle. His son William, born around 1655, also trained the Flemish style; among his portraits are those of the First Earl of Rosse, at Birr Castle, and of the Duke of Ormonde, painted around 1685, in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Provenance: By direct descent from the Eustace family to the Mansfields of Morristown Lattin. A document in the Mansfield family archives identifies this portrait, preserved for many years in Scotland, as being of “General Maurice Eustace . . raised a regiment for James II and was excepted in the Treaty of Limerick . . dressed in scarlet with embroidered waistcoat and wears a flowing wig. Relined 1973. 38 in wide 49 in high. Pierced with a pike in 1798” (According to this family tradition, this painting was damaged with a pike during the Rebellion of 1798.) Dr. Peter Murray, 2023
