Leeds fan here,may god keep you safe Ian with the rest of the football family of passed legends, you will always be in football fans hearts ,saint and greavsie was the best ever. Loved it !!!! You will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
FA cup weekend back in the day when it was almost on the same level as winning the league. Memories , also what a top team of toffees. Greavsie your killing me. RIP Ian St. John.
FA Cup was thee Trophy to win as a player. Always bigger than the League. The League was a Club thing & the true worth of your club but FAC was the Big One. Now it's a throw away. No money in it as that's what matters now.
You won't see many ex-players doing these type of videos today. What a top Scot Ian St John was, always giving out banter either to us toffees or when England would lose and he would wind up Greavsie!😂
Had this on video for years used to love watching these clips Greavsie went to Watford to train on the same show and was put through the ringer by Barnes etc was classic never get those FA cup final days back.
He was a really good sport and very humble. I went to the Ian St John Soccer Camp in Formby and I was having an argument after my team, Everton lost to Liverpool in the FA Cup Final, with some other boys there, and in walks Ian. Other boys told him I felt Everton were better and he laughed, he said I was wrong, and I had an argument with him. Considering who he was and I was just a kid he took it in good spirits. They don't make them like him anymore. Incidentally they always had a game of the coaches and Ian playing against various kids at the end of the week, they usually thrashed them, except one team who could have won, but he cheated like crazy with the decisions, only time he ever did that, all in good humour.
I used to work with the Saint's son in Bootle years ago nice kid and Saint senior was RIGHT about the Sharp/Gray combo! I wouldn't have minded one of those houses looking down on Bellefield either!
I'm a Liverpool fan yes😉.. but this was the best Everton team ever...and for me Neville Southall was the best keeper in the league the saves that bugger did...love the gate to the training ground baring in mind this was the best team in the country...R.I.P..SAINT JOHN...🙏🙏🙏
I agree I'm a lifelong Stourbridge fan but growing up as kid in the 80's & 90's he was the best I remember that double save at Goodison from Beardsley then Aldridge I think I maybe wrong in the Derby just after Hillsborough and Aldridge giving him a pat on the head either in disgust or in praise
Can't believe that was Everton's training ground. Looked like someone's back garden and the pitch was terrible lol. Loved the Saint what a great sport RIP.
The days when the FA cup really meant something, and was a special day. Now, shamefully, they even play other matches, even Premier league ones, on the same day.
How come football players dont have fun like this anymore. Years ago fun was commonplace but now there so serious. Like after a game as soon as the interviews finished they start to walk away before the cameras even stopped. Like they cant wait to get away. You never seen that years ago. RIP Saint . Loved S and G
Money. Back then you did not earn generational wealth in your career so you could be less cautious and more laid-back. Now all pro players are focused on maximizing their potential monetarily in a relatively small window of ~10-15y Even lower-level average players earn insane amount of money compared to average working person.
Pre sky money - even “top” clubs didn’t have strength in depth - Goalie Neville covered in shin pads to prevent injury as he was the ONLY fit keeper !!!
No humour in football today,it's all,''I want this much money'',that's why I've given up with watching it...as for these two..''The best','that's all I need to say
When the FA Cup and tele was actually worth watching....
Leeds fan here,may god keep you safe Ian with the rest of the football family of passed legends, you will always be in football fans hearts ,saint and greavsie was the best ever. Loved it !!!! You will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
Rest in peace Ian a legend of Merseyside 🙏 used to love watching you in the 80s alongside Greavsie . From a toffee

Loved those two. Got a video recorder just to tape the Saint and Greavsie, as I had to work Saturday mornings.
Back in the days when people were REAL. R.I.P. Thanks for the lovely memories.
From the blue half, RIP Saint a true giant and gentleman of the game.

RIP the Saint.
A great man has left the pitch. Thanks Saint
Back when the Cup Final meant a whole lot more than today sadly.
I know Jimmy Greaves is very ill these days..i hope he also finds some peace as well..
I used to work with the Saint's son in Bootle years ago nice kid and Saint senior was RIGHT about the Sharp/Gray combo! I wouldn't have minded one of those houses looking down on Bellefield either!
Bless this man, I used to watch Saints and Greavsie when I was young. They would make me laugh. We need more like it in these troubled times
I'm a Liverpool fan yes😉.. but this was the best Everton team ever...and for me Neville Southall was the best keeper in the league the saves that bugger did...love the gate to the training ground baring in mind this was the best team in the country...R.I.P..SAINT JOHN...🙏🙏🙏

RIP Ian St John alias the Saint
I loved saint & greavsie when I was growing up in the 80s. RIP ISJ and thanks for the memories x
A true gentleman respected by both blues and reds. RIP the Saint.
Can't believe that was Everton's training ground. Looked like someone's back garden and the pitch was terrible lol. Loved the Saint what a great sport RIP.
Ian a true great rest in peace
Rest In Peace Sir...

There was nothing like hearing the Saints laugh on a Saturday. RIP Saint. Look after Greavsie and Sir Roger for us 👍
Rest in peace Legend !!!!!

R.I.P Ian St John / I would of loved to of met you & Jimmy Greaves Autographs signed by both of you
Possibly the most perfect video on UA-cam.
Good to see Elton John make a guest appearance on the show. Loved Saint and Greavsie.
RIP Ian St John.
I’m reading Elton John’s autobiography at the moment. A real hoot with some great tales. Thoroughly recommend it.
When Ian removes his Everton tracksuit top to show his Liverpool strip 😂😂😂
