Maybe you had left Paisley for London already, but me and @Cookie Monstergrew up in the “golden era” of supporting Saints when there were badges pronouncing the fact that..... ”Jesus Saves, but Somner knocks in the rebound!” On 12/14/2020 at 10:25 AM, HSS said: 1968/69 we went 12 games unbeaten in the top league.

This season's run of 9 games comprises 2 LC then 1 League then 2 LC followed by 4 League games (a total of 5 consecutive League games) although I see Soccerbase have put our two 3-0 defeats in their original dates spoiling both sequences.

MY golden era also included the 1959 Cup Final. Suck that up. QED. (My thanks to HSS, Top Cat and BtB for ferreting out facts to prove that petty point!)

I’m not having that @antrin History will show that the golden decade spanned 77-87. 1xFirst Division 1xAnglo Scottish Cup 1xScottish Cup win Highest ever top flight finish Multiple semi final appearances in Scottish and League Cups Multiple season entry into European competition Some of our players becoming Scotland internationals and breaking club records for appearances Some of the opposition we played against home and away included George Best, Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini, Johnny Rep, Patrick Batiston, Ruud Gullit, The Liverpool European Champions team of ‘77. 😂 🏆 🏆 🏆 😂 We really should have pushed on from that time but on the back of a large amount of money from the Ferguson transfer, quite frankly squandered it on some really bad signings whether on transfer fees or free transfers commanding big signing on fees and wages which at the time started a downward spiral.

I have ignored the ignoble failed semi finals etc in Cups - hunners o them, of course. And the leagues were not crippled by the Twin Cheeks and were more open to all and thus harder in which to flourish for a wee team. I could reel off MY Buddies facing up against REAL giants of fitba like Jim Clunie, Jim Baxter, Jimmy Johnstone, Billy McNeill, Yogi Hughes, Eric Caldow, Tommy Gemmell etc etc... Some of them - European Champions! Class acts! And NOT 10-a-penny foreigners! And as for the Anglo-Scottish Cup? Some of that was on my turf - in my backyaird, thus it IS in my era, also!

The good guys won of course! You probably witnessed more “foreigners” playing for Saints than I did. Admitedly the Souness revolution was underway which was to change the landscape of Scottish football forever. I think Tottie Beck was maybe it, for me...

He played during 1965-66 according to the stmirren.info site which is back up and running. Ramos was smashing his sales targets. In early August, St Mirren received another two of his Brazilians, Fernando Azevedo and Roberto Faria. Faria faded quickly from view – perhaps the bright lights of Paisley distracted and beguiled him – while Azevedo was hailed in the local press as a “Top Brazilian”. Cue fever among Buddies, cue old men whistling The Girl from Ipanema on County Square and down by the Abbey. On the first Saturday in August, St Mirren played Northampton Town in a Charity Cup match at Love Street. With international clearance stuck in the post somewhere between the Amazon and the Clyde, Azevedo was restricted to a half-time unveiling. His silky keepy-ups had supporters cooing in anticipation. St Mirren, incidentally, lost two-nil and their young star, Archie Gemmill, broke an ankle.
