supersaint44 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just curious what saints players/cult heroes/legends/flops everyone associates with a specific squad number. Few obvious mentions to start: 1 - Main / Mannus / Clark 2 - Mackay 3 - Stanic 4 - Dasovic 5 - Wright / Weir 6 - Anderson 7 - Millar 9 - McLean 10 - Scotland 11 - Sheerin 17 - May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny B Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 1 Mannus 2 Mackay 5 Wright 6 Anderson 24 Easton 29 O'Halloran 7 Millar 12 Dunne 10 Wotherspoon 17 May 9 MacLean Dave Ferg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 1-11 is going to be impossible because until recently those were the numbers always used. So for 1 we've got Sandy McLaren, Jim Donaldson, Derek Robertson, Alan Main, Alan Mannus, Zander, Roy Baines et al. It's only bigger numbers like 17, 24, where it would work.

PauloPerth Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Funny how 29 has popped up a fair bit, had forgotten that was Miguel's number. Also O'Halloran the first time round, and then Cummins took it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly related, but I was looking up the Monaco game a few days ago, and the way the site I looked at listed the squad made it look like we had Kane and O'Halloran up front... gingermunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do a P&J paper round in Inverness got some shock the day he was on the front page Most of my Saints tops from the time have O'Boyle 10 on the back.

I had 1 or 2 beers that day but I remember being ragin that I sat on a bus for over a day to watch Kevin bloomin Thomas play up front ! Simao played too tho pretty sure he played out wide. At home i was happier to see Lowndes and Simao. gingermunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Paul Kane being a key player in that squad, but couldn't remember KOH from the Monaco games. If pushed, I would have guessed he was he was a season or two later. The only thing I can remember about his time at Saints was scoring the only goal in a home win over Celtic, possibly the game where Henrik Larsson got in trouble for spitting towards the Saints fans??

This is him today(ish)... http://dlrleisure.ie/child-protection/keith-ohalloran-2/ He actually joined us during our promotion season in 96/97, so was present during that whole period of finishing fifth, then third and then playing in Europe. Often struggled to get into what was a very good midfield though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember KOH being stretchered off after a really serious head knock. Might have been in the game against Dundee that got us in to Europe. Not sure though.
