Al C Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Stewart Kennedy when we horsed Pars on Ne'er day. He was sporting a beard too. Sergei Baltacha scored a belter that day. Sclaff from edge of the box, right under the Pars keeper (Westwater?). Great stuff. Huge Saints support too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarvie Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Stewart Kennedy when we horsed Pars on Ne'er day. He was sporting a beard too. Aye, mind that one, always liked going to Dunfermline and getting a bit of the banter up next to the fence. 3-0 was the final score was it no?

MUMBO JUMBO Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 In season 1973 / 74 Jackie Stewart, the then manager , had a young player on trial at Muirton Park. This youngster, who eventually became a Scotland international and a Saints manager , had scored numerous goals for Grandtully Vale , Vale of Atholl and Bankfoot Juniors. Mr Stewart decided not to sign him because of his hair style ! His name - Paul Sturrock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be the same St Johnstone that spurned the chance to sign a homesick Stirling teenager then based at Leeds - William Bremner.

Al C Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Was it not Andy Rhodes in goal that day? Might well have been Bleacher. 91/92 season so would have been season before he signed for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Stewart Kennedy. Dunfermline. Sergei's (first? only?) goal. 3-0 Pouring rain. Water leaking on us from broken pipe above. Saints fan asking a Fife policeman if his radio was working. Policeman says 'Yes'. Saints fan says then can you phone a @*&^ing plumber? Policeman and many Saints fans have a laugh. No one is arrested. Those were the days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUMBO JUMBO Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Willie Brown , for those who are not acquainted with this Dundee lad, was signed around 1986 by Paul Sturrock , from Tayport Amateurs. He was an uncompromising, intimidating forward who thought of nothing but getting "stuck " into the opposing defenders. He was perceived as one who would not accept a derogatory joke on the good citizens of Dundee otherwise your facilities would be irreversably scrambled. He had a very short fuse and recollect a sending off at Stenhousemuir. Some ten years ago I used to patronise his commodious convenience shop in Commercial Street , Dundee. He spoke about his time at Perth and was surprised that he was still recognised. One day I handed him a Saints Fanzine that mentioned his nickname - psycho. He asked me to repeat psycho and what it meant ! At that point I thought of making a quick exit ! He then burst out laughing . After two years the premises were converted into a tanning studio. Most appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee john Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Luggy and Geoff were invited by Fergie to a Man Utd reserve match to run the rule over a young player Fergie said could do a job for Saints. At half time Fergie went to see Luggy and Geoff to see what they thought of the young player and did they fancy signing him. They had both decided he was no good but liked the look of the wee red haired midfielder, would Fergie release him to Saints, " no chance" said Fergie, "he is going to be the next Kenny Dalglish". Paul Scholes was that player. True story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Wallace Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Willie Brown , for those who are not acquainted with this Dundee lad, was signed around 1986 by Paul Sturrock , from Tayport Amateurs. Not that I'm one to jump on the slightest of mistakes or anything, but I think you'll find it was Ian Gibson who signed Willie Broon.
