BuddieinEK Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 As a footnote... Did you know that a relative of Cameron Howieson (great grandfather?) scored for Saints in the 1926 Cup win against Celtic? Cameron himself had no idea till a Saints historian put two and two together. He signed for Saints having no idea that a relative had helped make history!

Somebody may be able to point you in the direction of a video discussing that point from when the museum was running an exhibition on Saints...sadly I can't but was a reasonable watch...

insaintee Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 To be honest I actually think it worked out better this way! Shhhhhh tho. Saints benefitted too... Bought him a £20 ticket 30 minutes before kick off. I don't see him coming back for the match when it is played! Can I get his ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says it all when a thread about wonderful ambassadors gets two pages so far and a wind piece of garbage called hopeless amateurs gets 15 pages and counting of utter drivel.

davidg Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) With all the criticism levelled at the club since Saturday, I want to buck the trend and say a massive thank you and well done. My Cousin came to Scotland for his first ever visit in his 49 years. His Dad, my Uncle Tom died not that long ago. Tom was a great Saints fan and was at the 59 cup final. He emigrated a year later. My Cousin is spending 6 weeks touring Europe, and although only spending one weekend in this area, the whole trip was scheduled to let him get to Saturdays game. Unbeknown to my Cous, I contacted Brian Caldwell at short notice and asked if he could help make the visit memorable. He said to arrive at the stadium at 1pm and he would see what he could do. We arrived at 1pm to be told that Brian was out on the pitch shovelling snow! At that point I resigned myself to a token greeting. Brian arrived 10 minutes later, full of apologies. He then spent almost 40 minutes giving Russell a full tour... Introducing him to Mallan, Goodwin, Thompson and Rae... all of whom willingly stopped and chatted. A visit to the changing rooms, Board Room, Tunnel and trackside followed... Along with a lovely chat with his fellow Kiwi Howieson. Brian shared wonderful stories of Saints past and present, and showed a pride and passion about Saints that took me aback. The game may have been postponed, but he made sure that my Cousin had a truly memorable day. One that he will always cherish. I will too. Well done Saints...truly proud to be a Buddie. Well done St Mirren, stories like this make you realise why we love our club so much. Well done Brian Caldwell, we'll really miss this guy.

pozbaird Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Brilliant, brought back memories and a tear to my eye. Talking about bringing back things... For 2017, JD Sports should bring back a version of that kit as a 30th anniversary tribute. All-white with thin back pinstripes and although they cannot use three stripes, just have one or two thin ones down the shorts and around the sock tops. Pretty sure they could even re-create the silver and white shirt. It cannot be an Adidas copyright. Fan Council? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whydowebother Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Brilliant, brought back memories and a tear to my eye. Lovely wee video. Reeling off those players, what we would give to have that much quality in our current team. It was a great day, town that night was unbelievable We don't have as many highs as lows as a club, but when they come along they are magical One town,One team,One love, One St Mirren & I would not swap my support for our club for any other team in the world.

I have two and the quality has held up well. Not sure if they were much of a seller right enough. I like the idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As discussed many times before, they can produce whatever they are asked to do. In my humble opinion, the key is to ask, no, tell them what to do, as the Fan Council did with a nice-looking home kit this season. Don't let their in-house designers subject us to their ideas. I've seen them. The bespoke design service is by far the best thing about the deal - the 30th anniversary of a cup win that most of us can remember should be the ideal opportunity to utilise this bespoke service while we have it. Just needs someone to suggest it, if deemed a good idea at all obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
