RIP Ian St John...

[PistonBlue]

I'm not old enough to have seen him as a player, so I'll remember him and that laugh (always laughing!) as part of the brilliant partnership he had with Greavsie. RIP Saint

Had the privilege of sitting next to him at a sportsmans dinner one evening around 92 he was really nice guy and came across very genuine
RIP Ian

Very sad. Great presenter and player.

I don’t remember Saint as a player, but he carved out a very successful career and a much-loved partnership with Greavsie on ITV.

I remember them giving Peter fucking Swales a hard time on Saint And Greavsie after Machin was sacked.

I preferred him to his partner.

R. I. P. Ian.

82....not young but not a great age either.

Not many ex footballers seem to reach the top end of the life span.

 

[Ribchester]

Brilliant player lucky to have seen him many times, bye the way lot better player than pundit and he was good at that too.
RIP

RIP Ian. Too young to see him play, but was a staple of the 80's with Mr Greaves. A rare person being a superstar in two different fields.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Never saw him play, but he always came across as a good bloke on the tv.

RIP, Saint.
