saint in exile Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Great player and underrated by sections of the home support at Love Street. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish him well. I could never understand how a man who hardly seemed able to walk when off the pitch looked so good on it. Scored some great goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed for a positive outcome. I was one of the ones who underrated him. Yes he scored a few but,by God he missed even more. Cost us a couple of Cup Final appearances with his misses. Wish him well for this though. He was a trier. Had a good record with Aberdeen when he went there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only scored 3 goals less than McAvennie, in 20 fewer games. Th's more than a few, I think. Plus, a series of injuries probably kept his numbers down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger fans probably have no idea how evocative this photo is to us older fans. just looking at that picture brings a back a sense of excitement that I rarely get going to a game these days.

I enjoyed reading that article, especially the bit about him bumping into Pelé of all people!

bonzoboys Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) I am sure somebody will correct me, but i always have this memory of a season where St Mirren scored for fun. Somner did all the hard work and Mcdougal claimed all the goals. The guy had the uncanny knack of being in the right place, right time. Goals went in off his back, bum, shoulder, shin but they all counted. What wouldnt we give for a good old penalty box "jammie'" striker these days?

It is fair to say he had a penchant for the odd "unsophisticated" goal, but he scored some stoaters too. I remember one against Rangers at Ibrox in a 2-1 win he rattled in off the post and he also scored a beauty in a cup semi against Celtic. Unfortunately we lost that one 2-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
