nedflanders123 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Iain Munro in his second stint. Best crosser of a ball I have ever seen. Billy Johnston was a superb player for us having arrived on a free from Partick in 1972. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original 59er Posted August 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 3 hours ago, norman said: Craig Samson is definitely up there, low key signing at the time as a backup keeper, not highly rated, yet he became an absolute legend, league and cup winner and penalty hero. Andy Dorman as well. I'd never heard of him, came from the American league, yet was a brilliant player for us. Conor Newton is another candidate, especially after his honking debut. Overall though, I think I'd go with Yardley. You and Shull should get along nicely! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocky Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 1 hour ago, MenstrieSaint said: For me , Andy Millen , Mixu Patalinen and John Hewitt . Thought they were average players and pass the sell by date when we signed them . Especially impressed with Millen , who was a dirty bastard, and very clever with it. Got to agree with Andy Millen. I also liked Stephen McPhee for the short time he was with us. I thought there was a player in there, but he never quite hit the big time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truesaint Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 And Adam Hamill for each corker against both of the Eddies. Never thought I would see a St Mirren player scoring from their own half 🦶 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truesaint Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 And Victor Munoz for showing the difference in class and reading of the game compared to any other Saints player in my lifetime. Are you only allowed one answer? ⚽ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool Bud Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I refer to my post when Isma signed i couldn’t believe had the audacity to choose no 77 as his shirt number I ate my words as the season progressed! he should have had 69 on his top 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Ian Scanlon - remember thinking we were getting Aberdeen's sloppy seconds in return for Peter Weir but Scanlon was most definitely "no bad"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Just thought of another an one that I am surprised nobody else has mentioned Archie Gemmill. I can still remember the goal he scored against the Netherlands in the 1978 World Cup, surely one of the best ever scored in the competition. And did he not recently get some kind of award from................................ ,cant remember who ...................... but think he did anyway.

djchapsticks Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Mark Reilly. On paper, a very typical St. Mirren signing. Premier league player getting to end of career and ready to take step down and wind it up, probably coast to a wage for 2 or 3 seasons whilst turning in 4 or 5 out of 10 performances. And at the start, a section of the support believed this. He was the fall guy and target for a lot of shite from fans in his first 8 or 9 games. Then he got injured for a few weeks and all of a sudden teams were getting in behind more easily and regularly and there appeared to be a big weakness in the middle of the park. Folk only then realised that there was someone missing in the heart of the team who went about business quietly, effectively and without fanfare and let better attacking players do their work. Once he came back, folk were totally onside with him and opinion changed. Wee Mavis was a cracking player.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Could go with all the players mentioned above and a lot more been a regular since 1967. For me it would have to be Mark Yardley played most of his senior career with us scoring 68 goal Also because my wife's father was .manager of Livingston United every time I was through visiting the wife's parents the father in law kept going on about this Mark Yardley banging goals in for United. My father in law was very bitter United accepted £50 for Mark Yardley with no sell on clause to Cowdenbeath.

ALBIONSAINT Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Junior Mendes, he tore down the wing like a whippet the 99/20 season, probably the last player that got everyone standing when he ran with the ball. Franco Miranda was also a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do of course remember him with Chelsea and ........since, but not with St Mirren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
