| 1. Author: ipswichpar Date: Fri 2nd Oct 2026. 13:45 Nice piece on the BBC today about Fergie with his new book coming out next Thursday. He`s covered his most important 21 games. Not sure if any Pars games will make it, hopefully getting dropped for the Scottish Cup final doesn`t! Reply |
| 2. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Fri 2nd Oct 2026. 17:04 He’s on record as saying pars were the most enjoyable time spent as a player. I’m sure he’ll fit us in. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |

Author: parsfan Date: Fri 2nd Oct 2026. 18:25 AdamAntsParsStripe, Fri 2 Oct 17:04 I saw something earlier today, presumably about this book, where he was saying he hated it so much at St Johnstone he`d filled in the papers to emigrate to Canada. I presume we stepped in just in time, eh? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The universe is ruled by chance and indifference  Reply |
| 4. Author: ipswichpar Date: Fri 2nd Oct 2026. 18:30 I think he said he was too sick to play because he was only playing for the reserves and wasn`t enjoying it but got called up to the first team and scored a hatrick after asking his aunt to support his visa application. Think that might have been 1963, so a year or so before he joined us. Reply |

| 6. Author: veteraneastender Date: Sat 3rd Oct 2026. 09:08 Sir Fergie was looking to emigrate because he wasn’t featuring in St.Johnstone’s first team - then he got picked to play at Ibrox and scored the hat trick - that brought him back into the team. He was part time at that point, an apprentice at Rolls Royce, probably about finished his training there. He wanted full time, that’s when Willie Cunningham stepped in - £2,000 plus Dan MacAlindon to Perth - what great deal that turned out to be. Post Edited (Sat 03 Oct 09:11) Reply |
