Scott7 6,018 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Liverpool hero centre forward has died. I never saw him play for Liverpool but I saw him often for Motherwell and Scotland with distinction. Small for a centre forward but sturdy enough and a scorer of goals. His Motherwell forward line, all diminutive, was a splendid unit. Reid, Quinn, St John, Hunter, Weir. Goals against Rangers always distress me but on one occasion, Fir Park, 1960, St John’s winner brought some compensation, 37/6 as FGS in the ‘bus sweep. That’s just under £45.00 in modern money. Lived like a lord for a fortnight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,948 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Subject of a great graffito outside a Liverpool church: "What will you do when Christ returns?" asked the sign Cameth the reply: "Move St John to No 8"... That indicates the esteem in which he was held at Anfield. Edited March 2, 2021 by Uilleam 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,055 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 A great forward played the game in the right way scored his share but created many more with his running off the ball and creating space for others 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexscottislegend 2,328 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Think my favourite moment on the Saint and Greavsie show occurred when Greavsie was taking the rip out of Scottish goalkeepers. Saint showed a clip of Hearts' Henry Smith performing out of his skin. Greavesie's reply: " C'mon! 'Enery Smiff?' - he can't be Scottish with a name like that!" 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a tradesman round a wee while ago (Jambo) and he told me Henry Smith used to live opposite my place. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
