sainties sheep Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Was looking through an old box of photographs and found this. Does anyone recognise themselves.Game was the Saintes v Aberdeen New Year game on 2nd January 1969. Saints won 3-1, we were a top 6 club that season also. Picture is from the PA on 3rd January.I'm the kid with their legs over the wall and the woolly hat on, eleven days before my fifth birthday.Looking for the same result on 03/01/2016 47 years and 1 day later ! Anyone with any other old pics ! Coltrane, sixties saintee, Jimmy Wallace and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sainties sheep Posted December 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Were they not at the corner by the Ice Rink end, remember there being a gate on the pitch there and the big sliding doors to the Dunkeld Road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MySpazz Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Incredible to think that our wee club is 130 years old, and hard to imagine those regulars who watched in the 1910s, 1920s and so on..... so much history, so many people whose team was St Johnstone. We really are just the custodians for now..... great pic.

babychunder Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Can't believe it - there's me at the front sitting wi' auld Wullie Munro the ironmonger from Bridgend. He had one o they blue invalid carriages but they let him sit oot on a chair beside the pitch. My auld maw used to do his books for him. Well I never thanks for that memory SS!!

Jimmy Wallace Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Amazing. Everyone in shirt and tie, even the kids. 8 months before I was born, so unless my mum was at the game, I'll not be in the photo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
