One Player And One Player Only

[shull]

Pick any former St Mirren player from any era to play and help the present team for the remainder of this Season and get us a European place and may help us win the Scottish Cup.

I really think we are dying out for a prolific striker.

So for me, it's got to be...

THE LEGEND DOUGIE SOMNER 

[Saint@Johnstone]

Gerry Baker !

[elvis]

Andy Dorman.

Great shout.

John McGinn's big arse dragging other players into play and creating havoc in both boxes would be my choice.

[Wilbur]

Jim Gardner.

What was the question again ?

Frankie boy for me   😂

Who kept hitting my car in the Love Street car park every time he crossed the ball ?

Is the question.

Dunky Walker!

Davie McCrae

[Helmettroll]

Frank McGarvey, we badly need a goalscorer...

Was thinking along those lines too so i'll go Peter Weir

[Balmullo Bud]

He did agree to sign for Tom Hendrie….

[chalky1]

I'll go for Billy Stark 

[Percy Veer]

I would have said Frank McGarvey, Peter Weir, Andy Dorman, Doug Somner, Frank McAvennie but they've all been suggested so I'll opt for Brian Gallagher.

We need a penalty box thief 

Jens Paeslack 

[fmckinn]

Mark Yardley

McAvennie . A tough decision,  but Macca can play as an out and out striker and also as an attacking midfielder,  so his versatility gives him the starting spit .

In my day, we called it, a “yuckle”.

hmmm.

Being curious, I find that word from my childhood now bears the spelling of, “yuchle”.

I quite like that.  It fits.
 

The “ch” builds - or plays on - the noise created deep in the throat, as one dredges up the material in preparation for the act of yuchling.

 

I hope this edit helps.  It worked for me.

Not a bad shout. Let’s be honest, us over 50 somethings could probably name far better players than Andy D, but in the spirit of the original question, what do we really need?

Is it a prolific striker or is it a creative midfielder?
To be honest it’s probably a combination of the two, and it my life time probably the only one who could outdo Andy in that respect would be Billy Stark.
