Two of them played for Scotland and Gordon McQueen captained Scotland. The other being Iain Munro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 And Ally McLeod (centre front row ) was one of the most skillful players not to be capped. Only player to score 4 against Rangers in their own midden and we were in the second tier at the time As Iain Munro said years later he would pass the ball into the net with his devastating accuracy. And just to show 4 in one game wasn't a fluke he did the same to Arbroath at Love Street My all time favourite Saints player by a country mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a decent team , Cargill , Cant and Robertson were a great midfield 3 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambiebud Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Ahh Shull, those were the days. A proper keeper, quality defenders, wingers and goal scorers! For younger readers, these were players who could find the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
