Another one gone. Older fans will remember his playing days for a successful Liverpool team.  Also as the Saint and Greavsey comedy football show. Famous anecdote is probably a sign outside a church in Liverpool “What shall we do when the Lord comes?”.

Shanks’ first really crucial signing. Loved Saint and Greavesie, really innovative show and great fun, not like the po-faced PC lot we see now. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

I think Saint & Greavsie was the first of the laddish/banter football programmes that I can remember. Baddiel and Skinner on Fantasy Football used to do a funny skit on it. “St and Greavsie talk about the Endsleigh League like it’s important” in the early days of the Premier League. Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Aye, it was a shame that Saint & Greavsie got axed, I used to watch it every weekend as a kid with my dad. Can remember Grimsby Town been on it a few times.
