In 1935, we had a trainer by the name of J Quaskey

Checking the census record, the only Quaskey's in Britain was a couple (and brother and sister of the husband) in Sheffield in 1881, and the couple were Polish

Then a Joseph Quaskey is born in Yorkshire in 1894

So i Think our trainer is the son of these polish immigrants

This Joseph Quaskey (married to Hilda) appears to be in the 1930 US Census as a Michigan resident.

Yip, just checked. Although the pic is dated 1933, rather than 1935.

Interesting stat?

No such claims were made in Detroit four days later, a match played under floodlights at the University of Detroit Stadium – Celtic’s first-ever night game. Over 5,000 saw the tourists canter to a 5-0 win over an apparently awe-struck Michigan XI. According to the Detroit News: “It was apparent that Michigan was half beaten 15 minutes before the kickoff. Plainly impressed by Celtics’ record the Michigan players started far in excess of their normal speed, but all their physical energy was no match for [the] clean-cut exhibition given by Celtics.”
