When the Saints go Marching in.
A new initiative from the club. Cover versions of our song played by local artists on the big screen before the game.
Belle Roscoe are brother and sister. They have a cousin and a grandfather who played for us. Does anyone know who they are.
Slightly off topic but I think it was the video of Jack Sinclair that said his grandfather played for us. Who was he? I'm a little worried that I might remember him.

His grandfather wont necessarily share Jacks surname Pluggsy. You may be right though.plugger66 wrote:Im guessing Allan Sinclair. Played 41 games up until 1979. I certainly remember him. Ok player.

Yes I know that but I thought Jack said he played around that time and about that many games.

Re: When the Saints go Marching in.
Hi Pluggsy and Kos,
Jack Sinclair's grandfather was Bill Gleeson who played for the Saints in 55 and 56 - I think he played 15 games but not completely sure of that.
I know jack from Kew Comets and he is a great kid from a good family and is very determined and hard-working. His mum is really happy that Jack's playing with the Saints and following in her dad's footsteps.
I'm sure he'll be terrific for us.
Go Saints!

Re: When the Saints go Marching in.
That's a relief. I'd hate to think I could remember someone's granddad playing for us. 1956 is well before my time.thefatdork wrote:Hi Pluggsy and Kos,

I wonder what his story was. Kicked 7 goals in three weeks and never seen again.

Their surname is Gurry, doesn't ring any bells for me.kosifantutti wrote:Belle Roscoe are brother and sister. They have a cousin and a grandfather who played for us. Does anyone know who they are.
