Balmullo Bud Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Watched them last night and a must for all Saints fans. Really interesting viewing and makes you realise how lucky we were to have such a good player for so many years. Brought back great memories of watching brilliant players at Love Street when I was a nipper too. Reaffirms Fitzy's legend status. Ta for the heeds up.

shull Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 It would be fantastic if Tony did his Autobiography. And ahm no just saying that. He is one of very few St Mirren GODS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jake Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Brilliant, what a guy!! LEGEND He is a true St Mirren legend and absolute gentleman. It was very refreshing to hear someone who was involved in the game to be so honest with his stories. So many players and managers are always very guarded in what they say. An autobiography would be a top seller in the Scottish football world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_the_saint Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 They could easily had him on all week Far better story teller than manager Great player though I don't know if anyone have ever had the pleasure of hearing tony at one of his motivational talks that he now does? By all accounts it's absolutely inspirational, talking about his life in general and all the ups and downs he has went through. from seeing a house in thornly park when he was an apprentice, and deciding there and then that he would buy it when he made it - and he duly did - to the tragedies in his life and the losses he made at Livingston. And through it all never lost enthusiasm for life. Without a doubt an autobiography would be one of the best, if not the best, autobiographies certainly by a footballer.

Drew Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Must make a mental note to catch this before it is taken off the air. Have been lucky enough to meet the man a couple of times, and he is an absolute gentleman as others have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevo_smfc Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Really enjoyed that. Tony is one of the greatest individuals that I have had the pleasure of meeting. I even got the chance to play against him at the last Saints Aid at Love Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'll have a listen when I get home. Say what you will about Fitzy, he had a torrid tome of it as gaffer with us but nothing, not even personal tragedy can keep the guy down. He's a true role model for and one of life's winners, oh and a genuinely good, decent human being to boot. As young ball boy in the mid 90s I used to get down to love Street early on match day to just sit in the dugout, look at the empty ground, imagining being out there playing and watch the players coming in and go about their duties. A few players stuck out as gents above all. Yards, Combe, Trigger, Gary Mcgrotty and Chris Iwelumo being the ones who would stop for a few minutes rather than just "awrite wee man" in passing, but Fitzy always had time to stop for a wee 10 min chat on a Saturday about 1pm when his mind was clearly on the match ahead and the fact that he would take time to chat on a personal down to earth level with a slightly star struck ball boy always stuck with me and as I grew up, I l realised he didn't have to even give a ball boy the time of day much less stop and converse with me. Made me realise just how good a guy he was and still is. Thing is there will be literally dozens of fans who could no doubt recall similar interactions with the man. Said it before, only a few months ago and I'll say it again, there should always be a place for Fitzy at SMP. Even if its just in a goodwill role or host of hospitality, the fact he's not associated with us is a complete nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 He should have one of the stands named after him. He has been a great ambassador for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian1877 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Wasn't going to post this as I reckon tony is probably too humble a guy, but I had.a look at his book website having listened to the 2 stv interviews, which I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday and today. Within less than half an hour of sending a positive email to the address on the contact page on his wee boys book page I received a personal call from the great man himself thanking me for my best wishes. Mental, slightly dumbstruck. 38 years old and a hero phoned me at work today. Sir tony of Fitzpatrick, club legend and all round great guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford prefect Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I remember as a kid seeing Tony get out his car as i was going into the ground. He could hardly talk as it was when he had the broken jaw. Still took the time to sign my programme, he even had to get his own pen as i had dropped mine somewhere lol. Absolute gent and legend.

erskinebud Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I can only agree with every post above re the Great Man. He gave me some of my favourite memories of European nights, Cup wins and all round pride in everything Saint Mirren related. I still bore my 3 sons with stories of past glories he helped deliver. His delight, pride and positivity in being associated with St Mirren in his various terms with us shone through the interview and the honest enjoyment of their chat was written all over Peter and Roughie's faces. I hope we use his services as a motivational speaker to gee up the current squad as we could take the Championship by storm if the guys are half as positive as he is. Legend is a much abused word, however, it couldn't be more appropriate for Tony Fitzpatrick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
