  • Charles Patrick "Charlie" Tully (born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on 11 July 1924 - died 27 July 1971 also in Belfast) was a famous footballer of Celtic Football Club. Tully signed for Celtic from Belfast Celtic on 28 June 1948. He played his debut match at Inside-left at home against Morton on 14 August in a 0-0 draw. He played a total of 319 matches for Celtic, scoring 47 goals, throughout his career, which spanned 11 years. Charlie’s skill quickly earned him the reputation as a Celtic great after an outstanding performance against Rangers in a 3-1 victory at Celtic Park where it was reported ‘Tully dribbled about almost at will. ’ ‘.. The miraculous Irishman bewildered, badgered…. mesmerised Rangers.. ’ This catapulted Tully to the status of cult hero and the beginning of ‘Tully Mania’ when Tully cocktails were sold in pubs; Tully ties in shops and green Tully ice cream in cafes. As well being such an accomplished club player, Tully played international football for Northern Ireland. One game is particularly well remembered. In 1952 Tully scored both goals in a 2-2 draw with England, one of which was scored from the corner flag. Tully achieved this feat again in 1953, not once but twice against Falkirk in a Scottish Cup tie at Brockville. Tully took a corner for Celtic and swung the ball directly into the net. The referee, presuming that the ball must have been placed outwith the arc, instructed Tully to retake the corner. Tully did so with the same result, swinging the ball into the net directly from the corner. Tully spent brief periods on loan to Stirling Albion before being released in September 1959. Thereafter he took up the position of player-manager at Cork Hibernians before spells in management with Bangor (twice) and Portadown. Tully died in his sleep at home in Belfast on 27 July 1971. The Falls Road was packed with mourners for his funeral. His sons (Charlie and Brian) and daughter Patricia all still live in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
  • Charlie Tully war ein nordirischer Fußballspieler. Berühmt wurde er beim Glasgower Serienmeister Celtic aus Schottland. Tully wechselte am 28. Juni 1948 zu den Schotten, als er Belfast Celtic, den nordirischen Ableger der Glasgower, verließ, nachdem diese vom Ligaverband zur Auflösung gezwungen wurden. Sein Debüt für die ’’Bhoys’’ feierte er beim 0:0 am 14. August 1948 gegen Morton. Er bestritt in 11 Saisons für Celtic insgesamt 319 Spiele mit 47 Treffern. Bei einem 3:1-Heimsieg gegen den ewigen Ortsrivalen Rangers wurde nach großartiger Leistung eine Kultfigur bei den Anhängern, was eine "Tully Mania" auslöste. Cocktails, Krawatten und Eissorten wurden in dieser Zeit nach ihm benannt. Tully wurde kurze Zeit an Stirling Albion ausgeliehen, bevor er im September 1959 Celtic endgültig verließ. Danach war er Spielertrainer bei den Cork Hibernians und trainierte anschließend Bangor City und Portadown. Auf internationalem Parkett spielte er für Nordirland. Seine wohl bekannteste Partie für die Green & White Army bestritt er, als 1952 beide Treffer beim 2:2 gegen England erzielte, eines von der Eckfahne aus. Dieses Kunststück gelang Tully 1953 erneut, dieses Mal aber zweimal in einer Pokalpartie gegen Falkirk. Tully trat einen Eckball und bugsierte den Ball direkt ins Netz. Der Schiedsrichter nahm an, dass der Ball nicht regulär erzielt sein konnte und wies Tully an, den Eckstoß zu wiederholen mit dem Ergebnis, dass er den Ball wieder direkt versenkte. Tully starb in seinem Haus in Belfast am 27. Juli 1971. Die Straßen seines Heimatviertels Falls Road waren gefüllt mit Trauergästen.
