Forrest Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Can only choose one Mine would be McAvennie. What an absolute star and entertainer and played with a smile on his face. A shit hot goalscorer. I was at Broomfield that day. Going by the other thread, Macca is very popular among us Buddies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 McAvennie was in my opinion the “best” player I’ve seen for Saints in my lifetime. Favourite player is a MUCH more difficult question to answer. Peter Weir, Lex Richardson, Billy Stark, Dougie Somner, Ian Scanlon, Frank McGarvey, Iain Munro, Fitzy and probably others, how do you even begin to separate those players. My FIRST hero though, was Bobby Torrance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzy, McGarvey and Money were my heroes as a lad... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgsaint Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 For me as a kid Frank McGarvey was my first Saints hero from both times he played with us. Basher from my twenties and Lewis Morgan from my forties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northstbuddie Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Someone who hasn't had a mention is Jim Clunie - the classiest centre half in my lifetime of supporting St Mirren. Possibly closely followed by Willie Telfer in that position. Bobby Holmes in midfield (or left half for those of my vintage) was the John McGinn of his day and only serious injury sabotaged his international career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portmahomack saint Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Tough one again. But the player for me who turned us into winners and a team that wouldn't be pushed around was Sir Lex Richardson 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Weiserbud Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Tommy Bryceland is the name that immediately came to mind for me as I always enjoyed seeing him play. He was described by Davie Lapsley as a "cheeky wee player" - spot on! Entertaining to watch and he scored some great goals as well. Also pleased to see Jim Clunie get a mention earlier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gosport Buddie Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 An almost impossible task. Always like Norrie cos he was the same age as me and was living the dream, but I'm going for one not many will pick. Ian Scanlon, a fantastic winger who's career was cut short by injury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleySaint Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 This is a near impossible question to answer, especially as this is the end of my 5th and start of my 6th decade supporting Saints, having considered it and for no reason other than I keep coming back to him I would say Abercrombie, there are many better players, more high profile players, more successful players but I just liked Aber. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint in exile Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Like others, I find it difficult to pick out just one player. If I really had to, I'd probably go for Lexie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
