The ghost of Jim Morton Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Just picked up my copy at Campus Sports, of " A Fans History of St.Johnstone. One Final Hurdle" I think it is fabulous. A huge well done to Rob and to everyone who contributed. I may well be spending all day reading it. For those that have not got a copy yet, this is a must buy book. With profits going to the club, as well as having a brilliant book, you will also be supporting Saints. Campus have already shifted a good few and as of 11am today only had 38 copies left. At only £12 it is a absolute snip. Get down there today and get one while they still have some.. Once again, well don Rob... COYS sleepless, Dave Ferg and slf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Just finished reading the book. It is absolutely fantastic. I learnt a lot of stuff about the club's history which I hadn't been aware of beforehand, and it really put last season's cup final victory into context and underlined just how huge a milestone it was for St. Johnstone FC. Really moving stuff. Congratulations to 'sleepless' who has done a brilliant job of compiling the thoughts of many Saintees, as well as proving himself an excellent author in his own right. I also really enjoyed Jim Eccleston's personal summary of Saints memories and I'd like to thank him for his kind words relating to Fair Maid at the end of it. sleepless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed my wee contribution Ollie - like everyone else who contributed, my thoughts and rambles came straight from the heart. Couldn't agree more about the book as a whole - a fantastic read and a brilliant piece of editing by Rob. A wee tear in the eye reading many of the reminiscences. For those old enough and wanting even more nostalgia, below is the link to my Facebook page - yesterday I scanned and uploaded 15 or so pics of Muirton Park taken a few days before we moved out and up the Crieff Road. I think Saints will be posting them later in the week too: https://www.facebook.com/JEccles621/posts/10152517927415186?ref=notif¬if_t=like Hopefully the link will work....

Kinnoull Kicker Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Got my copy from Campus today - looks like they're running low on stock now. Skimmed through and looks terrific - can't wait to get stuck into it. Fantastic job Rob. sleepless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 yes, they are pretty near sold out. I've just ordered them a new batch today, though. They should be received by Friday or Saturday, I'd guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Now 725 best selling thing on Lulu, which I assume is a good thing. Shite singer, but she runs a well-organised site. Cagey - many thanks. PauloPerth and Cagey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
