gilt bullion embroidered SvW SvE 1934-35, central crest and tassle, initialed CN in pen to interior label, in presentation case Note: ' Dazzling footwork and an abundance of skill made Charles Napier a huge Celtic favourite. Celtic signed the Bainsford-born forward as a teenager in October 1928 from Alva Albion Rangers and after a period farmed out to Maryhill Hibernian he made his debut in a 2-1 league win over Queen’s Park on October 19th 1929. The Hoops support took an immediate shine to Charlie Napier whose artistry on the ball was both entertaining and effective. Originally viewed as a winger capable of playing on both flanks, Charlie Napier – nicknamed ‘Happy Feet’ by the support – not only possessed the skill and pace to unlock defences he also had the ability score with both feet (hence the nickname). For a support blessed earlier with Patsy Gallagher, Happy Feet was a favoured son, seen as being a decent heir to Patsy Gallagher’s throne (even though he wasn’t necessarily in the same sphere as Patsy). His prowess in front of goal was such that manager Willie Maley decided that Charlie Napier would be most effective as an inside-left rather than on the wing and it was in this position that he really excelled.'
