SAINT AND GREAVSIE - ICONIC TV FOOTBALL PROGRAMME - 13TH MAY 1989 - IAN ST JOHN AND JIMMY GREAVES 

RIP Ian St. John, great memories of this show

Listening to the theme music takes me right back to happier days, used to love watching this. RIP Ian.

Saddened by the news of the passing of Liverpool Legend Ian St John. Watched this show religiously. Loved the quips between himself and Greavsie. Thoughts go out to his family. God bless you Ian and Thanks for the memories. R.I.P.

Rest In Peace Greavsie, 6 months after the passing of Saintsie. A legend of Tottenham FC and of football in general. You won't be forgotten. My blessings to you and your family at this time. Thanks for the memories.

RIP Ian St. John, I never missed this show growing up, every Saturday morning & loved it.

This programme made my Saturday memories and it would start with this, a lunch normally consisting of a plate of sausage-rolls and off we went to Anfield for the match. As soon as Saint said that he was 'off to Anfield', we got our coats on and prayed that our mark one Ford Escort would start. Sweet memories - thanks Saint.

The bit about fans asking for Fergies head was great.

When football was football. Thank you Saint, sleep well. 😭

Saturday lunchtimes and early afternoons used to be great back then. Football Focus on BBC and Saint and Greavsie on ITV, plus the wrestling to follow!

Thanks for this humourous show, brings back memories of Saturday afternoons and how traditional football used to be!

There were great characters in football back then. Greaves, St JOhn, Venables, Lynam etc. RIP Ian. You brought us so much joy.

Thanks for leaving in the period adverts, really ramps up the nostalgia 😬👌

RIP Saint. How eerie it was seeing those blue sheets up at the leppings lane end at the Sheffield Wednesday v West Ham game as well.

Probably the best football programme ever

I was on exercise with the British Army on the Lunenberg Plains in Germany when this programmed aired. as an Arsenal fan couldn’t wait to get back in to watch the last game of the season and what a night it was. The theme tune brought back those memories like it was yesterday. Thanks saint and greavsie Rest In Peace both of you COYG 😎👍

Thanks for your god like work in bringing us saint and greavsie

This was one of the best football shows ever. RIP Saint.

RIP Saint x two true gents and a great show back in the day.

RIP Ian St John 10 years old watchin this on Saturday afternoons ...thanks for the memories...!!!

i am not a football fan and yet Saint and Greavsie on a Saturday afternoon i never missed, so today to hear that Ian St John has played his last match and gone to the great training ground in the sky, thanks for all the laughs and all the great programs rest in peace and God bless you.

What a great watch.When all it was about was football in every tier of football from two greats who loved the game. Now we have Dan Walkers party political broadcast aka Football Focus telling us only one opinion is allowed. Miss the sense of humour of Saint & Greavsie.RIP Saint.

And it's a final goodbye from The Saint, 2nd March 2021.

One of my favourite shows growing up, two legends together again. Rip Saint and Greavsie

When we had 2 sensible Professionals talking with knowledge !

you just cant beat football shows like this.classics.miss those days

I loved this. Watch this then go to the game if we were at home.

Loved this show RIP Saint

Wow the laughter and togetherness here is amazing compared to today happy days for me wish I had a time machine to back again happy times living in Nottingham great music and togetherness (:

Saint and Greavsie football legends of Broadcasting Rip, both of them will never be forgotten,

When football was football. Rest in Peace, Saint.

Great show and Ian Saint John was such an excellent presenter. RIP xx

St & Greavies, Pure magic, absolute timeless, beats the crap we are shown today. RIP Saint - YNWA

Thankyou Saint and Greaves. I used to love watching this as a kid. It will stay in my heart forever

Loved this show as a wee boy. I can remember running downstairs as the theme song played out

What a great watch. Both sad for the loss of Saint, but also a reminder of what great talent David Rocastle was who won the Young Player award.

A great watch. Interesting piece about United’s woes at the time. Imagine if they had panicked and fired Fergie.....Saint and Greavsie, terrific together...

The way they covered the lower division matches really made this show stand head and shoulders above the others. I know nostalgia can sometimes see the past as it wasn't, but the game has lost its soul. The magic has gone.

Dan Walker cant go one week without mentioning BLM, women's football or some other political box-ticking rubbish office boys talk about........Saint & Greavsie was brilliant because they were proper football men and it stuck to the action on the pitch.

RIP Saint 😢 Hope Greavsie is comfortable under the circumstance. I miss these days.

And today, we lost Greavsie. RIP.

Used to love this show show

I’ll never forget those funny saturdays thanks greavesi!

RIP Ian St. John RIP Jimmy Greaves

Yes kids, Chelsea and city used to be in the 2nd division. Sky sports don’t like you to know that, just like they pretend that football only started in 1992.

The death of Jimmy Greaves yesterday made me think *how much* more down-to-earth and a fan's game football was before the advent of Sky and the Premier League (60s to early 90s). I know you had hooliganism at its zenith, poorer stadiums etc., but it just felt like fans had more relations to players back then. I mean, Jimmy Greaves was basically the Messi/Ronaldo of his day but there was *never* an smell of ego about him after all he achieved in the game. Just a lovely, joyful bloke who one could listen to for hours. You *couldn't* say that for today's footballers on what they earn, can you? I think Italia '90 was the *real* turning point of what became of English football. When it *really* stopped being about the attending fans and more about the TV companies/player wages/armchair fans. A bit like a trench really.

fancy reading out the competitions name and full address and showing the phone number!

RIP Ian St John & Jimmy Greaves you both are my 2 favourite legends

Sky and/or BT can throw as much money as they want at a football show...it will NEVER be better than Saint and Greavsie

Man u directors under attack and newcastle been shite, some things never change. Thanks for upload, love watching saint and greavsie, especially jimmys casual dress sense

RIP Ian St.John

Always remember that strimmer advert... never needed one in all my life, in all the countries and places I lived .. :( RIP SAINT

Amazing show as a kid always looked forward to this show them 2 where brilliant nothing like that now shame but RIP Ian thanks for so many great football memories that you both gave us 💕💕💕

RIP Greavsie - your back with Ian and hope you are both united together again. Great show - both sadly missed

RIP Saint

I loved this show!!

RIP Ian St John

Great show.

R.I.P. To the goal scoring genius Jimmy Greaves.

Rest in peace Jimmy

The way that season concluded was because of Hillsborough with Liverpool having games in hand

And now both of them have gone. I miss those days so much and loved the show. Simpler and better times. I hope the two of them are somewhere together cracking jokes, chatting about the footy and winding each other up, although it was usually Greavsies job to do that. R.I.P to both of them.

Thanks for sharing. RU-vid is great for finding the old classics.

Legendary theme tune, brings back some great memories

It was boring after we went out of the cup to forest in the quarter final. I went to that game at Old Trafford against Wimbledon in may 1989 where we got 23,000 turn up. We were doing well around the new year then it was downhill. David Meek was right as well. It got worse before it got better!! We were in danger of getting relegated at one point the following season after this program. Getting beat 5-1 at city!! Fergie out banners and chants!! I’ll give the United board credit there, they could have panicked and sacked Fergie but they didn’t thankfully!!

Absolute legend! RIP

Very interesting piece about Manchester United. A year later they won the FA Cup and it all started from there for Ferguson. Also interesting with the current feelings towards Ole as there are similarities in terms of his resetting of the club.

love the adverts at 15.00

Rip the saint

The good old days.

Happy days watch saint and greaves then of to ayersome park watch game

R.I.P Ian St John a great footballer and a great guy that was one great show when TV was good

27:37 That dummy on the keeper by the Airdrie player was like a bargain basement version of something Pele did in the 1970 World Cup semi-final against Uruguay.

Martin Tyler commentating on a fourth division game!

I used to love this show R.I.P Ian St John my beloved blues making hardwork of things as usaul 🤦‍♂️

RIP Saint and greaves

8:38 V insightful segment on Man Utd. Stick with Alex Ferguson eh!

Great show RIP Saint this is the start of a painful week for Liverpool though.Micheal Thomas 🙄😫

RIP

Interesting... Leppings Lane end at Hillsborough condoned off.

1:20 Jimmy telling the truth much to Ians embarassment . Jimmy Greaves was hilarious in this programme 😂✅👌

Two points Wow, the woeful crowds in all the English matches...the game was dying then Never understood growing up why the series didn't cover the final week of the season. Even without the Hillsborough disaster pushing the season back by a few weeks, this programme was the end of April...

RIP Saint and Greavsie

RIP saint thanks for entertaining us YNWA loved this show never missed then sky and the premiership came along and ruined football don’t watch now the kneeling was the final nail in the coffin

RIP ISJ :-(

12:00 Prophetic

Great show when football was good

Very poignant when they were talking about Rocky Rocastle. RIP.

RIP JIMMY :(

RIP GREAVSIE

Legend r I p x

At Old Trafford vs Everton, the away support was greater than the Stretford End...

Football was proper football back then. Really miss the game. Money has ruined it.

Devastating cant dtop😊

RIP Greavsie.

R.i.p Jim

Yet Arsenal lost to Derby and drew with Wimbledon. Then we know what happened on the Friday night!!

Charlton wouldn’t get back to the Valley until late 1992!! Even though it was said here that they would be back there at the start of the 1989/90 season!!

Rip greavsie

That stuff about Man Utd could be said today. Wonder whatever happened to that Alex Ferguson guy.

These 2 put modern Day pundits look 3rd rate,Brilliant stuff indeed!!!!Still we have still got give me more money Lineker.Great to see people talking a bit of sense(With that clever humour) Just like todays Muppets? NOT.
