ejksjfc Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Very sad to hear. One of my best days following Saints was being part of "Jimmy Storries blue and white army" in Dumfries on the last day of the season 76/77. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarry One Nil Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 My memory of him was when the Perthshire Select U-14 had a training session with him in the Summer of 1976 - had to report to Muirton..thought it was a dream come true getting to play there...got changed and then he took us down the North Inch! He was brand new though - very likeable character from what I remember.RIP Jim dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AthensSaint Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I was a young lad when he was manager and memories faded. Regardless, always part of the St Johnstone Family and sad to hear of one of us passing away. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ScottMann Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I remember Dumfries well. 'There'll be no relegation for the Saints' And there wasn't! A great and very emotional day. Sorry to hear the sad news of Jim's death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saints Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I too was sorry to hear the news of Jim Storrie's passing. The trip to Dumfries is right up there with the other significant Saints results. I particularly remember 3 supporters buses, which for a team at the bottom of the table was pretty amazing! The 'pitch invasion' 3 or 4 supporters spilled over the barrier! Reported in the Sporting Post as an invasion. The bus I was on stopping at Biggar for chips leaving 5 of us stranded including the bus convener. The pub owner driving up the motorway to try & catch up with the bus! Biggar had never witnessed such excitement..ha Happy days indeed. Thanks Mr S... Pelosi and McCarry One Nil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Dumfries, never be forgotten - was it the only time the game was delayed because of 'trouble' from the Saints fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I remember the excitement and sense of hope when he was appointed, at the end of a dismal season. In an evening game, I think it was against Hearts (0-0?), I remember standing behind the goal at the Ice Rink end and asking the polis as they walked by to ask Jim Storrie to give us a wave. This was long before anyone had thought of making a chant for such a thing. Fair play to the polis for actually passing the message on, and fair play to Jim for giving us the requested wave. Sorry to hear of his death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
