Astanley 11,645 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Shame that ,him ,Ron Yeats and Tommy Lawrenson were the original "spine " of the team Shankley first put together ,the genesis of any success we had afterwards ,a decent fella too . I remember when I was a kid ,my mate saying he had the best ball control to come out of Scotland since Jock Strap , I didn't want to ask who Jock Strap played for and I searched for his name for years ,I was in my thirties before the penny dropped ,that's how fkin thick I am .

pesky1972 5,640 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Used to love Saint and Greavsie as a boy. Too young to have seen much of him playing, but a handy player in his day by all accounts.., and a Scottish hall of famer. Always thought Jimmy would have gone first.
