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.
Sad news . Loved St & Greavsie . Here’s a good clip
Just watched that clip, how good was that compared to the rubbish now. football commentary went down the tube as soon as Andy Gray got involved for me, it is theatre, entertainment (clearly with the exception of us)And the light-hearted side needs to remain. RIP Ian St John , loved your contribution utm

I don't think TV has been as good as it was since the 80s/90s in some respects. 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.
