Not sure if I should be happy or sad. If one thing is certain, you´re blue and white army will never ever forget you. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indicator Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Sad news indeed. First time I saw him in a Saints eleven was a pre season friendly v Derby County 1968/69 at the Baseball ground. A balmy Monday evening in August, I couldn't believe my luck here I was just back to the UK from Berlin and Saints were playing just up the road. I was based in Lincolnshire. Nae car so it was the choo choo fm Lincoln to Derby. Memory is a bit hazy nowadays but I remember it being a good match and Saints were impressive, I think we either drew or won the match - mind thinking who was thon blond fellah strutting about so confidently in midfield, a new signing sure... must be an Icelander (It was all the rage to sign Icelandic players in those days) I soon learned otherwise. Of course the rest is history. Thanks for the memory Alex. RIP. PanamaSaint, templeofsaints, Coltrane and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilgour Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Very sad news indeed.A fabulous player,a succesful manager and a gentleman. His playing style was a joy,hard but fair,confident bordering on arrogant,and always driving his team mates on.His managerial style was to allow players to express themselves while still operating within defined tactics. i went into his pub {not knowing it was his) when attending v Stenhousemuir one day.What a welcome I got.Later on I had the pleasure of meeting him at Powderhall (dogs) several times where we watched our cash disappear while reminiscing over Muirton Memories. A true gentleman.RIP. Coltrane, Dave Ferg and dunkeldneil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Wallace Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Absolutely gutted to learn of this. He was manager when I really started watching Saints regularly in the late 70s/early 80s. Really awful news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
