JmSG Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Greetings, do any of you remember this player and in what positions did he play for St.Johnstone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 He was a record signing at the time, the club's first £100,000 player IIRC. Not sure he ever lived up to that price tag but others will remember better and where he was mainly deployed. He was quite a versatile player from what I recall.

bankfoot saint Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Pretty sure either along the back four or a defensive midfielder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbourne Saint Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Felt he was understimated. Good player. Played a central midfield position & helped out as a CD when required. Intelligent player. Tackling not his strong point. Passing was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintJet Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 He was decent player for us and Captain during the Totten era. Very intelligent player and liked a pass; was probably not the toughest midfielder in the world and because he played alongside the like of "Tucker" Tommy Turner, who was as tough as Teak he was often derided. HIs finest hour was captaining us to a brilliant 3-2 home win over Celtic at Christmas time back in the day; he was outstanding that day. mainstand and blueheaven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Lethamite Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 And don't forget the cracking opening goal he scored v Inverness Caley in a cup replay 1992. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
