john1962 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Amazes me Baltacha doesn’t make some of these teams. Understand those too young to have seen him but no Saints central defender I’ve seen before or since could lace his boots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most important figures in our clubs history. Deal with it. My burd doesn't go with Fife minks, so she tells me. Stevie May was great that year, no doubts. For a VERY limited player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 May was all about power, opportunity and being able and confidant to shoot from anywhere. Tam’s right he wasn’t as talented as a Scotland, Sandaza or dare I say Sheridan, but he was just as lethal when allowed to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackay, Anderson, Mannus, Maclean and Millar from that era are all bigger club legends for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 When we got relegated and he left (killie?), we did really well in getting O'Boyle in as a replacement, another very talented player, though I wouldn't say in Wright's class. A shame the way O'Boyle's Saints career ended; stupid, but probably loads of footballers doing the same thing on nights out at the time.Wright didn’t leave immediately upon relegation. He had a bad injury sustained in 93/94 season (against Hibs at home am sure) so was part of the same squad as O’Boyle in 94/95. Think they only played together no more than a couple of times though, both scoring in win against Stranraer (Peter Noren got the other?). Wright left for Killie for £340k soon after, pretty good business looking back given his injury issue. Obviously he went on to be a legend there and no real surprise as a cracking striker, real class about him.O’Boyle probably my favourite ever Saints player, loved him. Always thought he could play at much higher level. Sad how it ended but was great watching him every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Stanic was a really classy player, properly cultured footballer and a really appreciated signing at the time given the utter dross we endured in years before his arrival. But I’d have both Davidson and Easton ahead of him at left back. McInnes certainly wasn’t keen and we essentially went the league winning season without a proper left back, Liam Craig handling playing out of position with no complaint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright got his first injury that season in the autumn and we signed Billy Dodds and Ian Ferguson. Wright and Dodds played together once in the game you mentioned before he was out for the season. Clearly we'd have stayed up if he'd been fit for probably just an extra month of the campaign. My squad of 23 would be based purely on ability but I haven't finalised my selection yet. The two right wingers would be Allan Moore and Michael O'Halloran. There is Scotsport highlights of the 0-0 draw with Rangers from our first season up on YouTube and Moore is absolutely unplayable. You won't regret watching this isn't you haven't before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible to think within a period of just a few months, Saints had Paul Wright, Billy Dodds and George O'Boyle on the books. Three top quality strikers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that front three of Maskrey, Grant and Moore terrorised every defence in the country for the first half of that season, after destroying the first division the season before. Just up and at 'me 'em attacking at its finest with two lightning wide men. Its funny to mention them now, as someone was comparing our current front 3* of Kennedy, Watt and Wright with those three legends at a game just a few weeks back. Early days for that but was a nice thought. You could certainly see two wide players in Swanson and Wright with Watt in the middle being a real handful for some defences if they click. * not an out and out three up front as such, but can be similar when attacking.

I was at that game. Big Lindsay Hamilton! I remember him coming to school and letting us take penalties against him. Must've been a charity thing.

You won't regret watching this isn't you haven't before. My U12 team were the ballboys that year!! One of my main memories is Moore scoring a hat-trick of headers against Ayr when we won 5-2 - just checked and it was the cup quarter-final as well! Was this the game when a ballboy (won't name him) passed it back to the Rangers keeper before it was out and they had to do a drop ball? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Curran was one of the least likely hammer throwers ever likely to see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
