SaintJet Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 3 hours ago, blueheaven said: What a fantastic moment that was when he came on, for us fans, for Saints, and most of all for Spoony and his family. Just wonderful. When they were down to just one more available sub I honestly thought his chance had gone - what a brilliant shock it was to see him suddenly emerge stripped and ready on the sideline. Just getting on was fantastic in itself but the fact that he actually did the Spoony chop on the world stage, right in front of the cameras, and it was identical to the one he did for us in the cup final, was just a moment of absolute perfection. I think if any of us could have chosen any Saints player from history for this to happen to, most probably would have chosen Spoony too. Just another amazing high point on a recent Saints timeline that's been full of amazing high points. Agree with all of this and well done to the manager for getting Spoony on; Canada are young team and he was aware that it's unlkely Dave will be involved at the next Copco or world cup so gave him a chance for all his efforts travelling for the Canada team. By the way, Canada are going to be a smashing team in the near future and really should have made the next round. MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least a taxi from A&B with him standing up through the sunroof *brilliant for the "lad" - when will we see another perth laddie at the world cup. He did it, and didn't put a foot wrong in all his involvement in the match. dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Dasovic has been saying for years how good the youth development set-up is in Canada - it's about time it actually came to something!

Rob Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Great to see Spoony play in the world cup. What a memory that will be for him. Another fantastic memory for Saints fans as well. Thought BBC could have done a bit of research and gave him a better introduction. A number of clubs including Dundee got a mention when Jason Cummings came on for Australia in their first match I think it was. Thought we might have got Scottish born, plays his club football at St johnstone etc... MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
