    Well before my time playing wise but he was obviously an all time Scottish great.

    I enjoyed him on the TV too (it's weird that Jimmy Greaves is being discussed on another thread this very day).

    RIP the Saint.

    RIP Saint

    I remember you used to get a guid laugh on the ‘ Saint and Greavsie Show ‘ on a Saturday noon before setting off for the fitba

    They never took themselves too seriously

    Ian St John scored the fastest ever hat-trick at Easter Road for Motherwell three goals in as many minutes

    A Liverpool Motherwell and Scotland great

    Deepest sincerest condolences to family and friends

    Another football great gone but not forgotten

    RIP the genial Saint.

    Used to love Saint and Greavsie back in the day - a football show that was a genuine one off and was worth getting out of bed for on a Saturday am. From what I can gather that was the tip of the iceberg in terms of the entertainment provided by that pair but they were way before my time as football players. If that had been all they'd done though they'd still be legends - RIP!

    Quinn.Great wee centre forward and former team mate of our Pat Quinn.

    Always remember the tv quote back in the 60's when a ä Scouser was asked on a current affairs show

    "What would you do if Christ came to Liverpol"'?

    'Move St John to inside right'" was the answer

    A friend of mine used to drive the Portsmouth team coach in St John's time there. He had nothing but praise for St John and reckoned he was one of the nicest people he had ever met.

    RIP

    Saint and Greavsie was a much watch for me. He was a great presenter and that programme was a trailblazer for much of the sports TV we see now. RIP a great player and TV presenter

    There was also the sign outside a Liverpool church saying "Jesus saves" to which had been added "but St John taps in the rebound".

    showing my age now but can anyone remember Sam Leitch presenting football focus before Bob Wilson (might have been called football preview in those days)

    He was the author of the (entirely correct) expression "They'll be dancing in the streets of Raith".
