Bud the Baker Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Ian Ferguson. Although he wasn't with us long he did make an incredible contribution to our '87 Cup win (one of only four major trophy wins in 142 years), scoring in 4 of the 5 games - 3 of them 1 goal wins, against that I'll accept there's the manner of his departure, but I think he deserves to be thrown into the mix. If antrin can choose Gerry Baker who only made 63 league appearances in addition to his Cup win then why not Fergie who only played 6 fewer with 57.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Would Iain Munro & Billy Thompson each with 7 Scottish Caps whilst with the club deserve to share the honour - both would have been with the club in 79/80 when we finished 3rd in the League (our joint highest position) and won the Anglo Scottish Cup.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Best ever 11 in our history would be a good thread.

smcc Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) For me it is Tommy Gemmell, the inside forward, who came from Irvine Meadow in 1951 and played 264 games for Saints before retiring in 1962, having scored 71 goals. He only had 2 Scotland caps, against Portugal and Yugoslavia, scoring one goal against Portugal. The Scottish team at that time contained such forwards as Lawrie Reilly, Gordon Smith, Bobby Collins and Billy Liddell. He was a member of the 1959 Scottish Cup winning team.

windae cleaner Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Greatest player or personal favourites? Not great fans of those but Shuggie Murray,Tony Fitz,Campbell Money or Cammy Murray must be in with a shout Someone mentioned Gerry Baker scoring record i wonder if it was better than Dunky Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree, a full back, midfielder and winger - consistent and he knew where the goals were. Easily the best I've seen in the 60 years I've been going to games. My first hero was Willie Fulton who just made the game look easy.

Prague Buddie Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) No contest Definitely, the greatest player to ever play for us was Victor Munoz. Could you imagine us signing somebody now who captained Spain and Barca. Edited October 3, 2019 by Prague Buddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Saintss Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I’d possibly agree with the Victor comments. Think Gordon McQueen would be up there? However, my personal favourites of all time, the guys I enjoyed watching the most, were Frank McGarveyIan ScanlonFrank McAvenniePeter WeirIain MunroIan Ferguson   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
