RIP sainty


Recommended Posts


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 .

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. RIP Saint ?

He was on par with the bald Hungarian legend famous for his combover, Gustov Wind.
