Centre back: Sergei Baltacha, Danny Griffin, Alan Kernaghan

Right midfield: Allan Moore, John O'Neil, Mohammed Sylla

Left midfield: Leigh Jenkinson

Centre midfield: Harry Curran, Attila Sekerlioglu, Nick Dasovic, Paul Kane, Paul Hartley

Strikers: Stevie Maskrey, Roddy Grant, Paul Wright, Billy Dodds, George O'Boyle, Jason Scotland

Oddly enough, all these players played in the two best saints teams I can remember. But only Roddy played in both.

Main

Treanor Kernaghan Baltacha McVicar

Moore Dasovic Kane Preston

Grant Wright

Subs: Balavage, Davidson, Simao, Scotland, O'Neil

Honourable mentions to Weir, Lowndes, Jenkinson, Maskrey and Heddle

Favorite Team

Main

McQuilken-Griffin-Kernaghan-Stanic

Attilia-Hartley-ONeill

Simao-Grant-Lowndes

The best team would be-

A legend team, it can be either good players or ones that got on well with the fans.

players picked so far are quite interesting,

didnt think i'd see irvine in some fans teams.

Main (Donaldson who, but for injury, could have been our all-time number 1)

Lambie (Treanor) Rooney (Rutherford) Rennie (Kernaghan) and Davidson (Colburn)

Aird (Hartley) McCarry (Hardie) and Aitken (Dasovic)

Hall (Pearson) Brogan (O'Boyle) and Connolly (O'Rourke)

How I cant squeeze Steve Maskerey and Roddy Grant in there is beyond me.

All time legends XI with fingers crossed that what I have read about those I never saw is true:

Sandy McLaren

John Lambie; Sergei Baltacha; Jim Weir; Callum Davidson

Robert Davidson; Nick Dasovic; Gordon Whitelaw; John Connolly.

Henry Hall; Ally McCoist.

Subs: Alan Main; Drew Rutherford; Buck McCarry; John Brogan; Jim Pearson

Chairman: Robert Campbell - because he chose the Wembley Wizards, but Geoff Brown is very close.

Manager: Willie Ormond, but happy to change to Del Boy if he does all he should.

Reporter: Gordon Bannerman

Tea lady: well ...

You're not the only one!!! As much as I like him there's no way he gets near the classic XI

I think his recent performances will see him leave us and go onto great things. Bear in mind he's only played at this level for 2 seasons, before that he was an OF reserve. McQuillan played his career best football at Saints.

Can't see him leaving but anyway what I was meaning was that over 30 years of watching saints there is no way he is close to my best 11 by a long way.
