Post all your strange, esoteric, useful and indeed utterly useless facts here. 🙂
I’ll ‘kick off’ with this one:
American Jazz poet (most famous for his classic 1970 song "The Revolution will not be Televised") and black radical Gil Scott-Heron’s Dad Giles "Gil" Heron played as a centre forward for Celtic in the early 1950s.
He was Celtic’s 1st ever black player and was nicknamed the "Black Arrow" or the "Black Flash" – he scored on his debut.
He played for Celtic for two seasons before moving to Third Lanark, Kidderminster Harriers and finally back to America to the Detroit Corinthians.
