Greylag Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Saddened to hear of the death of former player John Muir. He had a few very good seasons in a good Saints side. He certainly knew his way to goal. I always felt he did better in the early weeks of each season when the pitches were at their best. Heavier pitches inevitably saw him get injured. Great player for us and indeed for Alloa too. Jonathan Muir and chips 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cristo Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Muir came in just after the Ormond era came to an end and was a very talented player. Wee right half/inside right if I remember correctly and as mentioned, weighed in with a few goals. Sad news.

Guest ScottMann Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Mano's one of those well regarded but basically overlooked players that have played for Saints. Sad to hear of his death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 He was a star of the Saints team when I first started supporting them and therefore one of my heroes. Sad news Jonathan Muir 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HALLS ANGEL Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Singed from Alloa from for £10,000 with the proceeds from the 1969 League Cup Final. No keeping money for a rainy day back then. Nicked named Mano by the other players as they thought he looked like Manolito a character in the High Chaparral which was on BBC 2, one of the first programmes that was in colour here. He played a lot under Jackie Stewart and strangely a high percentage that team have passed away at a relatively young age Derek Robertson, Gordon Smith, Jim Argue , Gordon Crammond and Duncan Lambie. Thanks John for the goals and the memories. Dave Ferg, dave mc, Jonathan Muir and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find 4 or 5 clips from Saints games from the 1970’s on YouTube, not sure if your dad is in any of them.
