David Moyes reflects on his Celtic beginnings and career
Summary

David Moyes, known for his managerial career across prominent clubs, began his football journey at Celtic FC in the early 1980s.

Despite injuries leading to significant playing time, a change in management resulted in his transfer to Cambridge United. Moyes expressed regret over leaving Celtic, a club he held dear, and has since transitioned to a successful managerial career after his playing days ended, which included speculation of managing Celtic in 2016.
