Sad news. Remember playing golf with him at a promotional event at Royal Liverpool many years ago. RIP Ian.0

The Saint was a true legend and top fella.
A lesser know fact about him, he took part in a "find a new commentator" competition that the BBC ran for the 1970 World Cup.
Ten thousand people entered and the 6 contestants in the broadcast final were anonymous. The final 2 were tied and it turned out to be Idwal Robling and I St J (who I'd thought the best of the 6 by a mile).
Alf Ramsey had the casting vote and plumped for the Welshman Robling.
RIP Saint.

Top class player who epitomised the Shankly era at Liverpool. Always remember poster outside a church in Liverpool which said, "what shall you do when the Lord comes?". Somebody had scrawled underneath, "move St John to inside left".

Sadly too young to have seen him play but Saint & Greavsie was a staple of Saturday TV growing up. Loved watching them both on that show. RIP0

R.I.P. Like many others, I really enjoyed Saint and Greavsie. They had a great chemistry.0

Remember watching him play for Swansea against us at the Vetch Field.
We lost 1-0, of course ...... he either scored or assisted their winner, I think - all a bit hazy now.
RIP

loved St n Greavsie
I bet no one thought you’d go first though 😞0 -
Ian St John was an excellent player and part of an important part of the Liverpool team. They won 4-0 at The Valley when they were promoted from the 2nd Division in 1962. The forward line was Callaghan, Hunt, St John, Melia and A'Court. Not bad for the second tier. I can almost name the whole team with out looking. Lawrence in goal and the half backs were Milne, Yeats and Leishman. Annoyingly, the full backs have gone out my head.
Saint and Greavsie was unique; there's been nothing like it.

How sad yet another football legend passes on. Used to love, like many others on here have said, Saint and Greavsie, great football program. RIP Ian and thanks for the memories.0

RIP. Hope BT do a documentary on him, bit like the Greavsie one but would be full of him laughing.1

I am just too young to remember him playing for Liverpool, but plenty old enough to recall Saint and Greavesie. Quite groundbreaking at the time, having so much humour in a football show, until then they had all been pretty strait laced as I recall? RIP Saint.
