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.
