Who is the Saint's most fanatical supporter?

[plugger66]

Does anyone know Ivy? She is very negative. Jack Barker surely would have to be one of our top supporters. Or maybe someone from the Cheer Squad, some of those people have been doing that for a loooooooong time.

Yes I know Ivy and she isn't negative is absolutely passionate about all our boys her living room is a shrine to the saints, all her walls are covered with Saints players and history.
Ivy started The Angels a womens group that helped support the players and the club and she is still an active member of this group she is a life time member of our club over 50 years of continuos membership.
At the age of 88 the day after this years grandfinal she attends all games even interstate games even though she walks with a stick and it is painful and takes a lot out of her to walk a distance.
I would consider Ivy or Jack Barker our icon supporters of the club.
By the way I consider the jigginsaint a character and love his passion too!

Thank you Saint1974, she didnt start the Angels but yes she is still an active member of the group. She is very passionate about her "boys"
and I would like to thank you for the support you have given her Judy

I am glad you are sticking up for your Mum but if she is going to go on radio and Tv and sometimes say some silly things then she might cop it on these sort of sites. Most things said about her will be positive but thee will be some negative things said as well.

Good on ya Shultzy.

My pick woulda been the Jiggster. I consider myself very fortunate to have shaken his hand a few times.

people around these parts worthy of special mention would be the likes of saint66au and of course the information person Saintbrat. She seems to know when everything is announced.

Forget about all the overseas people like me ,,,,if we were that fanatical ,, would we be living overseas ???

If bloody Swan hadn't changed the tax rules this year , I was seriously contemplating a return to Melbourne only to be closer to the Saints.

And the winner is .................... The Jiggster (or should be )

We have lots of passionate supporters - but I believe the Jiggster is everything a true " Sainter" should be.

Thanks Saint Bev's Son.

Nice to see you are still a member Poochmeister

And don't forget who first coined the name the Jiggster or the Jigging saint.I posted a thread here about 4 years ago after seeing him doing his famous jig after a victory over Collingwood at the Dome...think it was titled "So who was the Jigging saint?"...and the rest is history with Dave himself answering the question...

Best thread I ever posted and the place has never been the same

Gets my nod re the classic supporter...would have been close between the Jiggster and my late Dad Sir Walter though...

Lived and breathed the saints and still had to go for a nervous walk when things got tight well into his eighties...

A habit he passed onto his son

When they won was known to go down to the Sorrento Hotels and play "oh when the saints" on his trumpet...

They were days

[bigcarl]

had to go for a nervous walk when things got tight

i had to do that on sunday. can't remember being so nervous during a match.

[saint patrick]

Me too Carl...felt like my heart was in my throat all game ,nauseous,palpatations...the works

Felt that if we had lost that game our chance for a premiership was gone....and worst still was the thought of the filth inflicting that on our dreams

Was very emotional at the siren...god help me in the next 2 cut throat weeks

Seriously, I'm sure many of us would be interested. If its really detailed maybe someone can give it its own thread, but as SS "family" it would be great to know the story before our Jiggster becomes a famous mega star and his SS days are just a fond memory........

good work jiggster is a good choice. no offence but molly, ivy and jack barker have all had lots of press. nice to give someone else a go.

go the jiggster!

[Pwoit]

Actually I'm disappointed in you all.
We should all be fighting tooth and nail for this accolade.

Obviously I am the most passionate and colourful Saints fan EVER!


... or am I.

[thejiggingsaint]

Hi Folks! I don't know what to say (for once ) I'm sure that it will be a giggle doing this video, but a part of me feels a bit of a fake when I consider folks like Jack, Ivy, The MW, Billy Cobb and any ONE of the CS who have been doing the tough yards for DECADES! for our club.
I hope that I can do the right thing by everyone who has been kind enough to "nominate"(?) me for the "award"
GO SAINTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
