Liked the program...didn't mind the saint or greavsie either

 

[Dan Tanner]

I remember them doing a segment on peter beagrie showcasing his skills and backflips just before we signed him. I don't think I was ever as excited by a new signing, that soon disappeared as he went back and beat the same full back for the third or fourth time, put the bloody ball in the box you tit. Still it was must see television, don't even mind st John, but greavsie was boss

St John was all right.
Greaves was ace.

Look at the garbage we get served up now which is either someone like Savage shouting a lot or some bland git waffling and saying nothing.

This programme WAS my childhood. My dad used to work Saturday mornings, and would rush home, frantically make my sister and I beans on toast so he could get in front of the telly in time for Saint and Greavsie. It was my first introduction into the institution that is professional football, and I always thought Jimmy Greaves seemed like a top bloke.

 

[Donald Twain]

As kopites go he's not particularly insane or biased .

 

[Brendan Janus]

Ian St John was an annoying little git !!

 

[larbert toffee]

St John had a chip on his shoulder for some reason, Greavsie was a top bloke and had a great sense of humour,at his peak there were no better strikers about he just seemed to walk the ball into the net.

Was it a chip ? Not a french fry ?

Met them when they were doing a Q&A many years ago,during the interval I was chatting to St John,we spoke about Everton and he deffo had a chip on about us,he also swore like a trooper when I ripped him for playing with Tranmere.
