Joe is a member of the “holy trinity”, the others being the wonderful Alec McNair and the shooter Charlie Shaw. A defensive unit that was considered the most productive in the United Kingdom at the time.
Joe was described as fast and athletic and was a right-back through the exchange, he was also equally comfortable in central defence. His speed and strength meant few, if any, forwards were able to get the best out of him. He was also not afraid to venture forward and possessed a formidable shot, as well as being an expert in free kicks, and those attributes made him a formidable footballer, one of the most productive of his time.
Joe spent 14 years at the club on two other occasions, whilst also serving as assistant coach alongside Jimmy McMenemy in 1936. He was a major contributor to the club’s good fortunes in the second decade of the 20th century, although he disappeared several times. years later. him serving on the front line of World War I.
Joe helped the club win 8 league titles and 3 Scottish Cups, but despite this he did not gain the foreign popularity he deserved, as many Celtic players did in other eras.
Dodds has played just 3 caps despite being one of Great Britain’s most productive defenders, which has angered many of his professional colleagues. However, Celtic enthusiasts knew how talented Joe Dodds was and were privileged to have him in the team. Today, he remains one of our most productive players of all time, a great accolade indeed.
