Grant Inglis’s mother’s maiden name was Paisley. Don't see the pattern. St Mirren have had more players called John playing from them in their history which is more than Arbroath, Motherwell and Raith Rovers have had combined And our season has well and truly gone down one too. Fred West attended a Partick Thistle v St Mirren match in October 1966 Did he get dug up for it? Paul Kinnaird was a railway enthusiast and had had an extensive collection of model trains Maybe he could have kept our season on track. A member of the band Blue Mercedes once claimed in an interview that he was St Mirren fan Then he'd be too BLUE now. Mechelen FC have a board room called St Mirren Even the carpets were beaten. Tom Black won “Lanarkshire Moustache of the Year” in 1988 which was sponsored by Law FM Stiff upper lip needed right now. Brian Third traced his family tree back to that of Adam and Eve Aye right. Third generation? Deal Town FC once challenged St Mirren to a friendly match in 1973 but it was cancelled to a bout of food poisoning with the Deal Town players That saved a bit of embarrassment. We at least didn't get beaten. St Mirren FC were once mentioned in an episode of Brookside Were they still talking to West about the patio? St Mirren were the first Scottish team to have a lady physiotherapist Karen? Never saw so many players with groin strains. Jack Ross is allergic to Polo Mints On the hole. I think he's allergic to much more. Like Tictacs, tactics Former groundsman Danny McVey is on the waiting list to appear on Tipping Point Wait at the ground. we're anticipating our own "tipping point". In the spring of 1952 St Mirren marshmallows were introduced to various sweet shops/tobacconists in Paisley Probably had more backbone than the players who started our season. Impressionist George Logan (of Hinge & Bracket) fame attended several St Mirren matches in the 1969/70 season Could he impersonate a footballer for us this year? There was once a pub in the Melbourne suburb of Broadmeadows called St Mirren’s Bar Let's us all go there. Could we turn the table upside down and get promoted? During his spells as St Mirren manager Tony Fitzpatrick has said “tremendous” more in interviews than Derek McInnes has said “I think” during interviews in his time as Aberdeen manager(as of 21st January 2017) Maybe he should have left it at that and not mentioned Saints and Premier champions. St Mirren once had a trialist sent off for tickling an opponent in a reserve match away to Dundee in 1970 Feck me. The present team have done as much in midfield all season!
