Scraps of paper can be worth their weight in gold and one Belfast Celtic fan's personal archive has yielded rich treasures. Harry Spence was from the Falls Road and for years followed the fortunes of the Belfast 'Stripes'. During the 1940's, he lovingly collected newspaper clippings on a range of issues to add to the family scrapbook and high on his agenda was the sporting excellence of Belfast Celtic, under the direction of the masterful Elisha Scott.

Now this archive has been brought to life with the help of Harry's son Aidan who has built a wondeful website to host the content of his father's scrapbook for new generations to explore. Aidan said; "My father was a Celtic fan in his youth and he rarely missed a game. He was also at Windsor Park for the fateful game in 1948 the made Celtic withdraw from football. The events of that day affected him greatly and as a result, he actually turned his back on soccer altogether and for many years was radically opposed to the sport. The scrapbook was started at the turn of the century by my Dad's uncle Harry McKeown, before being handed down to my Dad."
