Anyhow, don't want to drag this thread into the gutter, enough about those concerned. Quote

faraway saint Posted September 2 Author Report Posted September 2 Jimmy has passed away. Apologies for the Arbroath connection..... 𝐉𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐞 All at Arbroath FC are devastated to share the passing of former player and manager, Jimmy Bone. Jimmy passed away peacefully last night. Jimmy was initially signed by Albert Henderson from Celtic in January 1975 for a fee of £12,500 to try and keep the club in the top division. Although relegated, he impressed and the following season he helped the club to a 5th placed finish in the newly formed First Division with 24 goals in 41 appearances. During the 1976-77 campaign, he played in every competitive match but despite continuing to score regularly the team could only finish in a mid-table position, and in February 1978 with the club once again struggling to compete for promotion he was sold to St. Mirren for a fee of £30,000. In February 1985, Jimmy left Hearts to return to Gayfield as player/ manager, replacing the departing George Fleming. He spent just under two years in the role, picking himself irregularly during his second spell at the club before moving to St. Mirren in mid-December 1986 to become Alex Smith’s assistant manager. Our thoughts go to Jimmy’s family and friends at this sad time. Quote

shull Posted September 2 Report Posted September 2 Jimmy Bone St Mirren Legend Wonderful football player and one of Fergies greatest signings. Quote
StanleySaint Posted September 2 Report Posted September 2 Loads of great memories of Jimmy, sad to hear of another great leaving us. Quote
The Original 59er Posted September 2 Report Posted September 2 Jimmy Bone was one of these old fashioned bustling kinds of centre forward, who never gave the defenders any time to react. He was aggressive in the right way, he had a really good eye for the goal and he led the front line fearlessly. I would have his likes every day of the week in our current team. Sad to hear of his passing, just another great name slipping up to that Saints team in the sky, which he will walk right into! Quote
stlucifer Posted September 2 Report Posted September 2 (edited) I was at the Anglo Scottish cup final home leg to watch us beat Bristol City and see Jimmy being hoisted with the trophy.. I remember being a wee bit disappointed that TF didn't feature at all in that game. I didn't make the away tie but I believe Tony played in that one. Nonetheless, it was a tremendous night when the trophy was, at last, won by a Scottish team. Edited September 2 by stlucifer Quote
shull Posted September 2 Report Posted September 2 What a fantastic goal celebration we had down in Bolton, Thanks to Jimmy's last minute header which sent us into the semi finals. Fantastic memory Nae luck big Sam Quote
DougJamie Posted September 2 Report Posted September 2 RIP Jimmy...best goal i saw at Love Street was his belter v Don's 💔 Quote
James Daddy Dunlop Posted September 5 Report Posted September 5 Jimmy was a national treasure with a career including winning Scotland caps, captaining the only Scottish club to win the Anglo Scottish Cup (The Super Saints) , assistant manager to Alex Smith when we won the Scottish Cup and winning the League Cup with Partick Thistle. The St.Mirren team picture with Jimmy on Jackie Copeland's shoulders is iconic and he will always be remembered for his wonderful 1980 -81 goal of the season for us v Aberdeen. I noticed his son David has been online with The Famous Tartan Army group asking for a round of applause to commemorate his father at the 20th minute of Scotlands game v Denamark as Jimmy scored against Denmark on the 20th minute in the 70's. I think it's the very least we can all do and I hope it is well supported. Quote
