Also - correct me if I am wrong - I also don't think Saints have played on the Moon, so far.

Just to add a little more trivia

 

last to score in the old wooden SQUARE goal posts 

I didnt feel the need to mention it as the old wooden goals were never any other shape.

First 2nd division team to beat Rangers at Ibrox.

Nah, sorry, As much as I'd love that to be true, Cowdenbeath beat them in the League Cup at Ibrox in the 1949/50 season.

That stat was in the Record the following morning , I 've never heard anyone come up with the Cowden thingy either. I'll take your word for it !

Record also stated that Ally McLeod was the first player to score 4 at Ibrox against Rangers , but Alan Gilzean had done it a decade before !

Paul Dummett not count as an ex player?

Doesn’t count if he was only on loan, never on the books! Well that’s the way I see it

I do protest Doakes. 

He played in our colours. 

[Wendy Saintss]

Last team (along with Aberdeen) to play in front of an attendance of over 100,000 in a domestic football match in the UK that didn’t involve either of the Old Firm.

1959 Scottish Cup Final

[Wendy Saintss]

Rangers beat St Mirren more times than any other team

This is unfortunately now a stat that can never change since that club is now dead

[Wendy Saintss]

During the decade of the 1980s St Mirren were Scotland’s 5th most successful club in terms of top division points won

In fairness, how many loanees have we had over the years from the EPL, and how many have gone on to play in the EPL?

Can't be too many...

Off the top of my head I can only think of Charlie Adam

For this reason maybe it’s worth Dummett being in?

We’ve had O’Brien, Newton, Drury and Campbell off the top of my head, none who’ve come anywhere close to breaking into the EPL. What Dummett achieved was excellent, and who knows, without his year at us, maybe his career would have taken a different path.

Ye, he could now have been playing for Chelsea, Manchester Utd or City. 

[Wilbur]

Perhaps the only club in the top tier of Scottish football to have a player called Gudmunder.

[scam75]

St Johnstone probably share that record with us!

We took 144 Supporter's Buses to Fir Park for the Cup Tie in 1977.

It was estimated our total support that day was 14000.

Vic Davidson is wank and a cheating diving cnut.
