Bertie of the Celtic

Robert Austin Thomson played for Celtic from 1929 into the 1930s alongside club legend Jimmy McGrory.  His finest year in a Celtic jersey came in 1931 when he was the star of the cup final against Motherwell.  Thomson lived a life of excess and died suddenly at the age of just 30 leaving a wife and two young children.
