The Celtic Wiki started as an extension of the Kerrydalestreet (KDS) forum, and was given the honour of the full “www.kerrydalestreet.com” address, whilst the forum kept the “.co.uk” name. The forum was the brainchild of KDS forum founder Fitzpas to create a user-friendly and easily updateable and accessible encyclopaedia on Celtic.
Here, “Hampden 57” tells the story of a game from 1983 that could very easily have ended badly for the Celtic fans present.
You can see TV footage of the incident here.
