great viewing.The Saint. Top man.
‘You can see the Rangers on itv’ with an accompanying big grin. 80s and early 90s.
Rangers related Saint and Greavsie
Ian St John was honouray president of the Liverpool No 1 Rangers Supporters Club for a period, late 1980s, early 1990s, he was given the scarf by some of the lads of the club.
A great player who had a great partnership with Roger Hunt in the 1960s. May He Rest in Peace
His birth name was John but like a lot of guys called John in the old days, they got called Ian.
Wonderful broadcaster, too young to remember him playing but was a staple diet of the 80s to play for my boys club team and go home and watch Saints and Greavsie.
3-3 we won on penalties,the Durrant final one of my favourite finalsWe won 3-2 did we not.
Verified.He was my late Grandpa's apprentice when he worked at Motherwell Bridge Work and Ravenscraig.
He was just making his way with Motherwell then.
Hopeless apprentice, but a brilliant footballer and a good Bluenose then too, according to my Grandpa.
Mentioned in another thread it hits you hard because anyone in their 40s or similar the last few years are now seeing icons and heroes passing away left right and centre sometimes our own parents and family .What a shame...Saint and Greavsie was a must in times gone by...That is very sad.
Saw a photo of Jimmy Greaves with Harry Kane recently and cant believe how ill Jimmy looks...All the heroes from times passed disappearing.

A Liverpool legend.
He was there at the start of their revival. Maybe Shankly's greatest signing.
He was the idol of the Kop and scored a hat-trick in his first Merseyside derby.
When he signed for Liverpool they were very much the city's second side, he helped change that.
Sad day for the whole city.
We should have won the European Cup that year...great viewing.
Rangers- the super club.
Imagine us getting that coverage nationally today
Its strange as I always loved Saint and Greavsie growing up but one of memories of Ian St John was him screaming with joy when Willie Falconer scored the 3rd goal for the sheep in the 88 Skol cup final as he was co-commentating for STV that day.
Brilliant Thanks for posting that, brought back lots of great memories
