mattman Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Tough one for me Cos Im in my late 20s, not much quality to pick from. I’d probably have to go Andy Dorman. Absolute gem of a signing who in my opinion carried the team a lot of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donport Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Not our greatest ever player. My daughter and her boyfriend were in the company of this guy.

Sonny Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 The question is ' name the person that you consider your clubs greatest ever player ' That statement is open to some interpretation. If it is the greatest ever player to play for St Mirren then the following are possibly the top due to international recognition (although no-one in their right mind would vote for Djemba Djemba) - Victor Munoz (60 caps Spain)) Roy Aitken (57 caps Scotland) Djemba Djemba (34 caps Cameroon) Gordon McQueen (30 caps Scotland) Steve Archibald (27 caps Scotland) John McGinn (19 caps Scotland) Stephen Thompson (16 caps Scotland) Ian Ure (11 caps Scotland) Gerry Baker (8 caps USA) Iain Munro (7 caps Scotland) Billy Thomson (7 caps Scotland) Frank McGarvey (7 caps Scotland) Peter Weir (6 caps Scotland) Frank McAvennie 5 caps Scotland) Apologies if I missed anyone else with a significant number of caps but you get the drift - a lot of caps does not necessarily make someone a great St Mirren player unless they got all their caps playing for St Mirren. Step up Iain Munro and Billy Thomson. If you interpret the the question as who do you consider the player that contributed significantly and was a personal favourite then for me possibly Billy Stark or Iain Munro - probably Munro due to his versatility and penalty taking - with Peter Weir, McAvennie and McGarvey close behind. Of course it could be interpreted as players who were leaders who drove the team on then Billy Fulton, Fitzpatrick, Goodwin, Aber and Shuggie would be in there.

portmahomack saint Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 If were talking best ever... (and I go back to the days of Bobby Pinkerton and big Jim Blair etc) We are lucky to have him here now. don't think i've ever seen a more accomplished player in his position as Valclav Hladky not only is he a fantastic goalkeeper he's arguably the best passer of a ball at the club too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrok Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 The best player I ever saw was Frank Mcgarvey always entertaining always fascinating to watch.Although he wasn't with us long Lewis Morgan is the best St Mirren player I've seen since Frank.

Livinginthepast Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Frank was the most entertaining for sure. However in order to be 'The Greatest' it has to be someone who is respected throughout the game, and has Saints truly at heart. Someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with The Greatests from all of the rival teams. McNeil, Greig, Miller, Stanton There is only one.Tony Fitzpatrick.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 If I was to name my best St. Mirren team for the entire period I have been going to see them (1974-present) there wouldn’t be a single player in the entire squad never mind first eleven who didn’t feature for the club at some stage between 1976-1984. Noteable mentions would be for Torfason, Ferguson, Victor, Yardley, Lavety, Thompson and maybe a few others I can’t bring to mind, but none would make the squad.
