SingaporeSaint Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Read on another thread someone admitting to starting the "Stewart must Go" chant in Muirton in the mid seventies which was an electric memory for many of us young Saintees. I gave the name to "Hector's House" at Broomfield Go on what is yours ???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich77 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 The start of my so far very short Saints supporting career coincides pretty much exactly with the start of the SPL 13-match losing streak. Am starting to wonder whether I'm not a curse on the club. Not much of a claim to fame admittedly, more the reverse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candalan Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I go back to Taylor, McFadyen and Lachlan etc. with Sir Alex as centre forward, circa 1962/63, nae wonder I now have grey hair. I am surprised I am not addicted to anti-depressants etc. Being a Saintee is feckin hard work. sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wish i was Joe McGurn Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Bring on tv with my late father when maskerey scored v forfar in the Scottish cup run on 89, he scores into the ice rink end and were on the corner of the terrace celebrating. That and being infamously one of the 22 Free the 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintdunc Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 In 1969, aged 15, I went to Hampden to watch my beloved Saints in an all too rare League Cup Final. I arrived in good time but got a bit carried away with the atmosphere and was promptly arrested by 2 of Glasgow's finest constables and marched round the perimeter track. Deposited in a cell underneath the ground I listened to the noise of Celtic fans celebrating their goal until being transferred in a black maria to Glasgow Central Nick where I was held until 4.40 when I was charged with throwing a toilet roll on to the pitch. I had to make my own way back to the railway station..................no blue light taxi for me. It was a long time before my next visit to see my beloved Saints at the home of Scottish football!

Dave Ferg Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 As match sponsor of a Ross County vs St Johnstone game back in the day my dad awarded Paul Hartley with the MotM award following a convincing Saints win in which he was outstanding. Sugar Kennedy advised that it was the 1st time an away player had received this accolade in the Victoria Suite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jings Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Roddie asked me to hold his bottle of Champers, while he signed a few autographs in the old Saints club in Jeanfield Rd. Needless to say, that was the last he saw of it, as me and the boys sconed it in about three gulps. This was after we clinched the league against Ayr at McD. Sorry Roddie, but you were probably too pi**ed to notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I was interviewed at McD on the telly for a good 5 minutes for that old BBC2 show Sick as a Parrot. Also use to live next door to Don McVicar and currently live about 2 doors up from Nathan Lowndes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Child Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I think I was the first to sit in the east stand, in the evening that the plastic seats were fitted myself and my mate climbed the wall and sat in the east stand, started singing we hate Dundee. Gutted we never had a ball but we still ran around the pitch like idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null vier Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I was the mascot in a 1-1 draw against Forfar in 1984. Roy Baines injured his arm and was replaced by Don McVicar. Don dislocated his shoulder and was replaced by Joe Reid. I'm no historian but I'm willing to bet it's the only time we've ever used three different goalkeepers in one match.

Went into the Ormond stand. Sat in the back row, dead centre. Just wanted to see the view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don dislocated his shoulder and was replaced by Joe Reid. I'm no historian but I'm willing to bet it's the only time we've ever used three different goalkeepers in one match. One of only a few that season I don't have the programme of. You're lucky as they printed photos of the mascots that season and I would have uploaded it on here. Philip Scott was the mascot in August versus East Fife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Ziggy Stardust Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I never missed a competitive match home or away between January 1988 and around August 1995. Not phucking one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Child Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have the red Clydebank v saints programme that saints printed for an away game in the 80s. no idea why they did it as the hankies didn't make programmes at the time.

Dev Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I nicked the match ball from Saints' 2-1 win over Rangers in October 2000. At the end of the match Barry Ferguson lumped the ball into the Main Stand, it took a bounce off some seats and I grabbed it. Shoved it under my jacket and made off out of the stadium. One of the stewards stopped me on the way out (think we still had our own stewards then) and I claimed that Jim Weir had given me it, which he semi-accepted giving me enough time to disappear off up the car park. Momo Sylla came into the High School a few weeks later to visit French classes so I even got the ball signed by the winning goalscorer!

supersaintee Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Not really my claim to fame, but my late grandad claimed he scored the first ever goal at McDairmid. He was a joiner and was doing the concrete shuttering for the stands and the pitch area was already marked out, albiet without any grass. So, jumpers for goalposts, he scored past his mate Willie Wallace to be the first man to put one past the keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I coined the term 'Ice Cream Sunday' for Rangers' last SPL match against us. I'm fairly sure at least 7 people used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
