RIP. Seemed a lovely fella.

I always forget that he was a forward. Was he tall?

Takes me right back to my childhood. When football was football. Saturday lunchtime, come home from playing 11 aside on a freezing cold morning and have lunch watching Saint & Greavsie. They had such good chemistry on screen it was brilliant. I remember one snippet on the show, they were interviewing Roy Wergele and showing his QPR antics, must have been the early days of Graham Taylor's England reign and Roy was open to the idea of getting an England call up. Imagine that?

RIP Saint. Sadly I doubt Greavsie will be too far behind him.

RIP Saint, like most others I only remember him as an entertaining broadcaster, but also a great representative of when footballers looked like your Mum's older brother rather than your kids' flash mates.

They were dropped as ITV didn't have any football other than regional Championship matches and Champions League which wasn't that big at the time as English clubs were generally crap in it. Sky bought the rest and BBC got the highlights back so there was no need for the show. Plus Baddiel & Skinner had royally taken the piss out of them in fantasy Football and they were really not popular by the mid 90's.

The Soccer Saturday format which followed with Marsh/Best/Mclintock etc did have a bit of Saint & Greavsie about it with basically a bunch of mates chatting about the weekend matches and not taking themselves too seriously

RIP Saint.

IIRC he said we were the best team to have never won the League title (in '76) and I think he was quite complimentary too when we drew 2-2 at Liverpool in the 1986 Milk Cup semi-final 2nd leg (there was no Final that year).

Never saw him play but to become a legend at Anfiled during that time speaks for it's self.

Saint and Greavsie is still the only football program I've felt was required viewing, hence remains the only football program that Ive watched (except when we're Premiership and then MOTD becomes required viewing. Thank fu(k for iPlayer and the ability to skip past the studio stuff and just watch the football).

Their undatlurated love and shared passion for the game was great to watch and it was about enjoying football, not about being first with the news or telling managers how they got it wrong.

Nothing but pure actual football knowledge that they just naturally shared with the viewer.

RIP Saint.
