The Medals and Awards of the goalkeeper James ‘Joe’ Kennaway, who played 311 games for Celtic FC between 1931 and 1939: Province of Quebec Football Association, 1926 Charity Cup, an openwork gold badge by Mappin & Webb, football set in lozenge, back named (C.P.R.F.C., J. Kennaway), 39 x 35mm, 10ct, 7.29g; Montreal League Championship, P.O.F.A., a gold and enamel badge by Birks, legend on Garter, football above, back named (C.P.R. A.A.A., J. Kennaway, 1927), 28mm, 10ct, 9.70g; American Soccer Association 1929, a gold and enamel badge, unsigned, crossed flags above football, back named (Winners 1928-29, Providence A.F.C., J. Kenneway (sic)), North American hallmarks, 32 x 26mm, 10ct, 8.56g; Scottish Football Association, an openwork gold and enamel badge by Fattorini, thistle above lion rampant, back named (Scottish Cup 1932-33 Won by Celtic F.C., J. Kennaway), hallmarked Birmingham 1932, 43 x 32mm, 14ct, 13.22g; Scottish League Champions 1937-38, a gold award medal by Fattorini, shield with saltire, rev. wreath, named (Won by James Kennaway, Celtic F.C.), hallmarked Birmingham 1938, 32mm, 9ct, 20.67g; The Glasgow Football Association, a gold award medal by Fattorini, arms and supporters, back named (Won by Celtic F.C., J. Kennaway, 1938-39), hallmarked Birmingham 1938, 28mm, 9ct, 17.63g [6]. Very fine and better, a very rare and poignant group of both Scottish and Canadian interest; all with clips and rings for suspension £2,000-4,000 Footnote James ‘Joe’ Kennaway (1905-69) was born in Point St Charles, Montreal, to a family who had migrated from Dundee. His goalkeeping prowess at the Montreal C.P.R. team in the early 1920s brought him to the attention of Canadian scouts and he was capped to play for Canada against the USA at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn in 1926. In 1927 he signed for Providence, RI, who competed in the American Soccer League. The Providence team changed ownership and moved their base to Fall River, MA, and faced a touring Celtic team on 31 May 1931. Kennaway’s performance in that game led to him being signed by Celtic manager Willie Maley to replace the late John Thomson who fractured his skull at Ibrox Park in the Rangers v Celtic game on 5 September 1931 and died later that day from his injuries. Kennaway made his debut for Celtic at the age of 26 in their 2-2 away draw at Fir Park, Motherwell on 31 October 1931, a day after disembarking from the transatlantic liner Duchess of Richmond. Between then and the home fixture against Clyde on 2 September 1939, Kennaway made 311 appearances for his club in all competitions and, in the days when country swapping for footballers was a common occurrence, he was capped for Scotland against Austria in their 2-2 draw at Hampden Park on 29 November 1933. Earlier that year he won his first Scottish Cup winners medal when Celtic beat Motherwell 1-0 and the Glasgow Herald reported that “Kennaway alone kept Motherwell from scoring”. He won a second such medal when Celtic vanquished Aberdeen 2-1 on 24 April 1937 at Hampden Park, watched by no less than 147,365 people, believed to be the third largest attendance ever at a football match in the British Isles, with a further 20,000 people locked outside the gates. Celtic, with Kennaway in goal, won the Scottish league championship in 1934-5 and 1937-8, and also won the Empire Exhibition Cup in 1938 against teams from Rangers, Aberdeen, Heart of Midlothian, Sunderland, Brentford, Chelsea and Everton. On the outbreak of War Kennaway returned to Canada. He coached the Brown University soccer team at Providence, RI, from 1946-59, becoming an American citizen in 1948
