A young #22, Tony Glavin, dribbles the ball.

A young man is picked up in a chauffeured Rolls-Royce to sign a new contract at the age of 19 and who shortly thereafter was keeping company with international football/soccer stars. Jumpcut thirty years later to see that same man driving a school bus that's seen better days (better decades, actually) full of unheralded young soccer players.

The St. Louis Lions, currently in their sixth season in the USL's Premier Development League (PDL), officially announced today that the organization has reached an agreement to affiliate with iconic Glasgow club Celtic F. C.

The Lions are the top of the pyramid formed by the Tony Glavin Soccer Club (youth programs) and the Lions Elite Academy (boys U-13, U-14 and U-15).
