Kenilworthy Posted 28 September, 2017 Share Posted 28 September, 2017 The author doesn't seem to recall that the game at Blackburn was a Saturday afternoon, not an evening game - or that MLT had an absolutely brilliant chance to equalise that he fluffed.

OttawaSaint Posted 28 September, 2017 Share Posted 28 September, 2017 Boy we were utterly spoiled in those days. Such a genius. So many times he lit up a drab encounter with a sublime piece of skill. If we were awarded a penalty in those days you could start celebrating straight away before he even took it (Crossley aside). It would be interesting to see how he would be viewed on here if he was a player in this era. Let's face it, he's the greatest Saint and a sensational player but in some matches he'd barely move, ambling along with his hands inside his long sleeves. I could see a few of our current players giving him "gashton" like nicknames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
