Biog

John Duffy signed for a Celtic side suffering from a post-War depression.

Having moved to the Bhoys in August 1948 the Dundee-born inside-forward was then farmed out to junior side St Anthony's before a period in the RAF. His Celtic first team debut finally came on March 21 1953 when the Hoops crashed to a 4-1 defeat to East Fife.

He was by no means the poorest performer on thatd day and despite some effective performances for the reserves he would make only one more first team appearance and after a loan spell at Arbroath he was released in April 1954. John went on to join Southend.
