JmSG Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Greetings, I want to ask about this former player of the club, he played in the club at the beginning of the nineties, he was signed from Clydebank and later he left for Airdrie, does anyone remember in what positions he played?

Huntingtower Saint Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Centre midfield if I remember correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Jack Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 My memories are... Scoring a penalty shootout winner against Patrick (maybe) and getting hauled across to the East Stand by Totten to get some applause. He was a bit of a target when things weren't going well. Giving his brother's name when he stopped by the police (can't remember why he did that...Did he have his brother's car or something?) Generally decent player who probably overcompensated for his lack of height by getting stuck in a bit too much. Probably not worth as much as we paid for him (£150k ish) HOODLUM65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 I was only around 12 or 13 when he played for us but I remember always really liking John Davies. Really tidy little central midfield player for us. For some reason it sticks in my mind that the waistband of his shorts always looked like it was up around his armpits, Simon Cowell-style. I have it in my head that he may have been our record signing when he joined us, but that's possibly inaccurate. He certainly joined us for quite a big fee at the time though. He was one of those guys who became a bit of a pantomime baddie for the Saints fans when he moved on and played against us for Airdrie. He was involved in a bit of controversy against Saints at one point, when Attila Sekerlioglu was accused of gobbing on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristo Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Decent central midfield player, good going forward, held the ball up well and could always find a pass. Scored a few goals as well. If you don't mind, why do you ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Bit of a marmite player as I recall. Fondest memory is of him taking a bouncing ball under control by doing a few headers on the run and getting wiped out for a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hospital Radio Perth Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Did he not have a lucky coat that Paul Sturrock wore several times after we had won the day that he borrowed it? mainstand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did and turned up for a game after a winning run without because it was sunny. Sturrock made him turn round and go back home to get it garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Grieve Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 We paid £165 000 and I don’t remember him doing anything worthwhile in a blue jersey. Probably my all time hate-player. Passes that went astray, too slow and too cocky are my recollections. Used to drive home with a very raw throat.....from shouting at him.

My memory is of him being a really popular player for us. His time at Saints came before Davies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norsaint Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Used to work hard enough when we did not have possession but made sure that he was marked when we did have the ball iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbourne Saint Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 His best days were certainly at Clydebank. Record signing at the time. Attacking CM. Good passer, couldn't tackle. Not loved by many saints fans. Had skill though but often the game just seemed to pass him by, or lost posession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
