Previously at Airdrie, he was highly thought of but had begun to go stale before the move to Saints. Tricky player who scores as many goals as he makes.

	Dyron Daal		23yr old 6ft 4 Dutch striker signed a 1yr contract with Saints on June 8th 2007 after being released by Aberdeen but impressing during a loan spell at the Scum in the second-half of the 2006-07 season where he scored 5 in six games.

He spends every Wednesday working at a hospital in Wishaw saving Wegies. Scored his first Saints goal in the Challenge Cup at Dingwall on 05/09/07 and banged in his last on Dec 1st against Partick after a more than successful loan spell. Not someone we'd be sad to see return to McDiarmid.
	Sandy Stewart		Former Airdrie player and manager, he came on board as no2 to Owen Coyle in Feb 2007 following the departure of Jim Weir to Montrose. Took over from Owen for the 2007 Challenge Cup Final after the former left for Burnley and after winning the trophy opted to join his former boss as his number 2 at Burnley.
	Owen Coyle	Doc OC The OC	Former Airdrie, Bolton, Arabs and everybody bloody else striker, was appointed at the age of 38 as Saints manager on a 2-yr contract on April 15th 2005. Always a hate figure amongst Saints fans when he played against us there's no doubting he has a wealth of knowledge of the game and has been co-manager at Falkirk and assistant at Airdrie as well as looking after the Utd reserves. Either way you look at it his appointment was a big gamble. After a successful first season signed an extension in April 2006 through to May 2009 with another a year later to 2010. Unfortunately it wasn't enough to stop the lure of England and when Championship club Burnley came calling in November 2007 he left to take over the managerial reins there on the 22nd. Still at least he leaves with all the best after giving us two semi-finals and almost the title in 2006-07.
	Simon Mensing	Si, Gunther	24-yr old right-back signed on a 2-yr contract in June 2005 after some highly-praised performances for Clyde over the previous two seasons.

Previously at Dundee Utd, he lost his work permit appeal and left the club. Saints decided to try their own appeal won it and signed him that day much to the annoyance of our Tayside neighbours. A fast skilfull attacker. Saints couldn't afford to keep him and in May 2007 joined Swansea.
	Mark Gallacher		Central defender who started for 2006-07. Freed in May 2007.
	Bryn Halliwell	Geri	25-yr old former Wimbledon and Clyde keeper who signed a 1-yr deal with Saints in August 2006 following an unhappy season at Dunfermline.

	Neil Janczyk	Scrabble	Signed a 2-yr deal on 26th May 2005 but failed to make an impact. Was told in July 06 to find a new club as he was out of the manager's plans and moved to Raith on a 6-month loan deal that August. Returned to Saints after Raith decided they didn't like him before a loan move to Stranraer and being freed in May 2007. Bit of a waste really. Signed for Brechin in July.
	Filipe Morais		21yr old Portuguese winger who signed from Millwall on loan until the summer.

	Jim Weir	Cap'n Jim(actually that's now Manager Jim)	Signed from Hearts in 1994 and is now captain of the team. Not the greatest of players but an excellent motivator and dedicated - eg playing on v Scumdee with a smashed nose. Rarely scores but has been one of the surprises of the return to the Premier with a string of excellent performances. Proved his loyalty to Saints by signing a new 3 year deal in April 98 then suffered an Achilles injury which has kept him on the sidelines since then but is back in reserve action. Had his testimonial in May 2004 and on the 26th was appointed no2 to John Connolly which meant hanging up his boots. Appointed caretaker when Connolly was sacked in April 2005 and returned to the assistant's role when Owen Coyle took charge, extending his contract through to May 2009. After 12 and a half years with Saints he left in February 2007 with everyone's best wishers, to take up the manager's reins at Montrose. One of the most loyal and best servants Saints have ever had.

Signed for Saints on a 1-yr deal on 19/05/2003 as both player and first-team coach. Scored 11 goals over the season but when only offered a playing deal under the new boss left in May 2004.

Returned in 2008 to take over as manager of Hibs.
	Brian McLaughlin	Wee Brian Tiny Tim	29-yr old left winger signed a 1-yr deal in May 2003. Played at QoS recently and before that at Ayr, Wigan and TFOE (well nobody's perfect). After a good season, wanted substantial increase on the terms offered for a new deal. Saints didn't cough up and he left.
	Paddy Connolly	Paddy Thingy - mainly because no-one ever notices him. Lazarus - comeback king.	£300,000 signing from Airdrie in March 1998, 27yr old Connolly is yet another ex-Arab to join up again with Sturrock in Perth. Having been tracked by Saints for a while, injury kept him out of the first team but his form has been found sadly lacking in the Premier League. Since August 1999 has been sent on loan to various clubs as Saints try to offload the player. August 2000 - after a few months back at McD he's off on loan to Ayr Utd. May 2001 - signed a new 3-year deal - 2nd coming? Made a few appearances this season and even scored the odd goal. Told in May 2004 he would'nt get a new deal. Signed a 1-yr deal with Ayr a month later then moved to Stirling 12 months later. From there he moved into a player-coach role with Brechin City under Michale O'Neill in May 2006.
	Keigan Parker	Nosey - well it's better than Lady Penelope!	The star striker of the Young Saints despite the dodgy first name. Willing to run at defenders with the ball and get stuck in. Debuted in May 1999 and in Nov 2000 signed an extension to his current deal to keep him at the club until 2004. Easily one of the best young prospects in the game and likely to move on before too long. Confirmed in April 2004 he was leaving Saints in the summer and left in May. Signed a 12-month deal with Blackpool in June.
	Craig Johnston		16-yr old midfielder from Perth taken onto the groundstaff in May 2002. Already capped at Scotland U-18 level. Freed in May 2004

Took over as a surprise appointment at McDiarmid on 05/10/01 with a 3-year contract. Sacked in April 2004 after failing to get promotion again. Never a popular manager the best you could say about him is that he tried his best. Took over as Queens Park boss in August 2004, then as Scotland U21 boss in Jan 2008.
	Paul Lovering		27-yr old left-sided defender who started at Clydebank before moving to Hibs then Ayr.Signed a 1-yr deal with Saints on 02/06/03. No-nonsense tackler. After a spell of injury and the signing of McQuilken he moved to Airdrie Utd in Jan 2004.
	Stuart McCluskey	Chopper - an enthusiastic tackler.	4th choice defender behind Weir, Kernaghan, and Dods but with injuries and suspensions has made several appearances this season. Was a regular in the Scotland U-21 setup although confidence is a problem. Left in August 2003 after injury and failure to make the breakthrough to the first team on a regular basis. Had a spell at Clyde before signing a 2-yr deal with Morton in May 2004. Moved to the Scum in 2005 but after a good spell ruining their season quit to head for Australia in summer 2006.
	Alistair Stevenson		Ex-Rangers youth coach brought to McD by ex-manager John McLelland and the man attributed with the amazing results of the Saints youth policy (unless your name is Alex Totten of course).

	Paul Hartley	JR - author of some great fishing books.	Born in 1976, the ex-Hamilton, Raith and Millwall right midfielder signed from Hibs in July 2000 for £200,000 on a 3-yr contract. Pissed off in May 2003 to the Jambos when he realised 1st Division life didn't fit in with his financial style, then suddenly seemed good enough to be an international and moved to TFOE.

	Billy Kirkwood	The Janny	Ex-Dundee Utd player and manager and youth coach at Ibrox. Came to Perth in Sept 98 as assistant to new boss Sandy Clark, from being assistant at Hull City. 3 years in the background meant he was appointed caretaker boss following Sandy Clark's sacking on 25th Sept 2001.

	Craig Devlin		Youth keeper taken onto the groundstaff in July 2001. Freed in 2002 and joined Ross County.
	Tommy Løvenkrands	Tommy Love,Great Dane	Legendary trialist from Roddy Grants testimonial in Nov 99, it took until May 2000 before the Danish left winger signed a 3-yr deal in a move from AB Copenhagen. Still he made a big impression in the testimonial game with his speed and crossing ability - hopefully he'll turn it on for Saints. Failed to do so and on March 29 2003 was reported as signing a pre-contract agreement to a 3-yr deal back in Denmark with Esbjerg. Move was confirmed 2 days later by Saints. Still once of the nice guys and you couldn't fault him for effort in his time here - all the best Tommy. Left on 17/04/03 before the season ended. Retired through injury in 2007 and is now a painter.
	Martin Lauchlan	Frankie-Boy - after Mr Wherezraburdz himself.	18-yr old winger, the younger brother of Killies Jim Lauchlan. Signed a 4 year deal with Saints in May 99 from Partick Thistle for £45,000 rising to £150,000 based on appearances. Highly rated prospect and has already featured in the Scotland U-18 set-up. Scored his first goal for Saints against Shamrock Rovers in a pre-season friendly on 15/07/99 - faded since and looks set to leave in 2003. Headed to Dumbarton on loan in Dec 2001.

	Craig Russell	Jack	26-yr old striker / left sided player who signed on loan from Man City on 29/03/00 until the end of the season. He played for Sunderland initially before a £1m move to Maine Rd which seems to have turned sour. Scored on his debut against Motherwell on 01/04/00. Then suffered a hamstring injury which ended his loan spell rather abruptly. Eventually signed a 3-year contract on 11/07/2000. No fee was involved but has struggled with injury.Went on trial to Grimsby at the start of the 2002-03 season but returned to Saints. Left at the start of October 2002 "by mutual consent".

Moved to Accies in May 2005 but injury forced him to announce his retirement from playing in March 2006 and start coaching at Hamilton.
	Nick Dasovic	Dazza	A free signing from Trelleborg, 27 year old Dasovic is a defensive midfielder with a crap hairstyle / facial fuzz. Although of Croatian parents, Dazza is a 20-cap Canadian internationalist and despite his failed rock star image is a popular player with the support, mainly because he always gives 100%. April 98 saw the player sign a new 2-year contract. Scored in the semi-final against Hearts in the League Cup and in the Final and the winner in the Parkhead win. Signed a new 2-yr contract in April 2000. Left at the end of the 2001-02 season as Saints cut costs and the age of their squad. Now the coach of the U-21 Canada side.
	John Paul McBride	Pope - pretty obvious really.	20 year old attacking midfielder. Joined Saints from Celtic in Feb 99 as Sandy Clarks first signing for £200,000 on a 3 and a half year contract. Lack of fitness has been a problem but he's undoubtedly talented. Failed to establish himself in the first team and was freed in May 2002. Last seen on trial with Aarhus in Denmark. Had a season at Partick and in July 2004 went on trial with Morton. Overall it seems his lazy git attitude has been more of a problem than anything. Pity. Followed up with a spell at Stenhousemuir before joining Stirling.
	Henry Hall		Saints legendary star from the 70s is now the full-time youth coach at McDiarmid having signed a 2-year contract in April 2000 to move up from a part time position. Unfortunately became a victim of the cost-cutting following relegation in 2002 and was laid off.

Made his first team debut as sub against Norwich in a July 2000 pre-season friendly, then started against Celtic in March 2001.

	Paul Kane	Kano	34 year-old ex-Aberdeen, Hibs and Oldham signed in the summer of 97 to give cover in midfield. One of the ugliest players in the game, but a good hard player who can score goals. Signed from Viking Stavanger in Norway where he had move from Aberdeen under Bosman. 17.03.2000 saw Kane sign a new one-year contract. Finally left Saints in March 2002 to join Alan Kernaghan at Clyde then retired a year later.
	Aaron Lofting		Central midfielder - seems to prefer to attack more than defend Left Saints in 2000 for East Fife but released by them in 2002. Sadly passed away in 2006 at the age of 24.
	Mark Lynch	Bet	20-yr old right-sided midfielder / defender signed in a 3-month loan deal from Man Utd in October 2001. Made his debut in the 2-1 defeat to the Pars on 27/10/01. Despite being badly injured at Livingston just before Xmas he's extended the loan until the end of the season. Left 2 games before the end after deciding against a move to us once we were relegated. Singularly failed to impress all season. Moved to Sunderland in summer 2004.
	Barry Thomson		Striker from Banknock. Joined the groundstaff in the Summer of 1999. Failed to make the grade and was freed in May 2002.

	David Noble		16-yr old striker from Paisley.Taken on to the groundstaff in May 2000. Freed in May 2002.
	Rachid Djebaili	Deirdre - Think Coronation St.	Algerian internationalist.

Previously played in Switzerland and last year for Noisy-le-Sec in France where he scored 10 goals in 29 appearances. Signed a 2-year deal in July 2001. Made his debut as a sub for Algeria in the France international that October. Left in March 2002 after not really getting a chance with Saints and being deemed surplus to requirements by Stark. Last seen getting a trial with Union Berlin.
	Willie Falconer	Free Wullie	OAP and well-travelled striker signed on a one-month deal on 10/08/01. Freed by Scumdee at the end of last season the 35-yr old striker has bags of experience.

Scored 83 goals in 180 games for the Danish 1st Division side. 6ft 1 and during his trial scored in a bounce game against St Midden on 14/01/02. Made his debut scoring Saints consolation in the 4-1 defeat to the Arabs on 22/01/02. With plenty of rumours about his hectic social life, injury kept him out for 9 weeks and he didnt want to hang about for the 1st Div campaign - left in May 2002.
	Ludovic Roy		24-yr old French keeper signed from St Midden on loan until the end of the season in Feb 2002. One of the best shot-stoppers in the 1st Division. Played 2 games then broke his hand in training ending the loan period. Currently Scumdee keeper.
No picture Available	Ross Currie		Ex-Rangers left-sided defender/midfielder who signed a short-term deal with Saints in Sept 2001. Did absolutely sod all and was released in May 2002. Moved to Arbroath.
	Alan Miller	Windy	Signed from Blackburn in a 3-month loan deal on 10/10/01 as cover for the injured Alan Main. 31-years old and looks like a nutter. He's currently fourth choice at Ewood Park after signing from WBA in Feb 2000. After a good spell extended the loan by another 3 months to April 2002 but was recalled in Feb 2002 to Blackburn.
	Darren Jackson	Wacko - the new polite nickname	Well-travelled and a surprise signing at the start of the 2001-2002 season on a 1-yr deal - been winning the fans over with a bit of a hunger for the game. Failed to start any games under Billy Stark after a couple of months out with a back injury and on 18/01/02 had his contract terminated by mutual consent.
	Sandy Clark	St. Sandy	Ex-Hamilton, Hearts and Partick manager who took over from Judas Sturrock on Sept 7th 1998. A good reputation for bringing on youngsters. At the press conference when he took over, he announced that he wanted to play "attractive attacking football and win with flair". 51 days later Saints were in the League Cup Semi final having lost one game but scored 23 goals !!!!# Signed a 2-year extension in Dec 2000 but a run of only 2 wins in 24 games saw the board sack him in Sept 2001. Sandy had been at the club for just over 3 years and whilst it's sad to see his managerial career with Saints end on such a sour note (especially after all the promise of a youth policy and sexy football), let's hope the fans remember some of the good times he brought us. A League Cup final, Scottish Cup semi-final, wins over both halves of the OF and of course the delights of Monaco and Vaasa in the UEFA Cup. Unfortunately poor relations with the fans meant that time wasn't on his side and a poor run of only 2 wins in 24 games in 2001 ended his career. The Temple wishes him well though and thanks for the memories of the cup final, that semi at Easter Rd and the best Saints party ever in O'Malleys Bar. July 2003 got a job coaching the Pars and was punted from there in July 2004. Took over at Berwick Rangers in Oct 2004.
	Mohamed Sylla	"Our Sylla" - as in Scouse ITV Star Mighty Mo MoMo Le Mo	After impressing greatly at right-back in the pre-season friendly against Norwich in July 2000, Saints signed the Ivory Coast-born Guinee international days later. 23-yr old and with 6 "A" caps for his country "Our" Sylla was previously with French clubs Le Havre and Le Mans. Signed a 3-year contract and made his competitive debuit against Rangers on 29/07/00 - turning into the major cult hero of the season so far although his best position is definitely in midfield. After winning the player of the year award in the 2001 Tossas a decent performance in the opening match of the season at Parkhead saw Martin "Token Irishman" O'Neill snap him up for £750,000 at the start of August. A deal which grates but thanks for the memories Mo. Moved to Leicester in 2005 and then to Killie in January 2007.
	Gary Bollan	Lardboy - he's a fat git	Ex-Dundee Utd, he was signed in Feb 98 as the first purchase from the money received for Callum Davison with £100,000 going to Ibrox where Bollan had wasted the last 3 years. A good left-back he suffered from injury but won the left-back slot in the team when Preston was injured. Scored his first goal for Saints with a lethal free-kick against the Scum in Dec 98. After 2 good seasons a disappointing 3rd saw him leave for Hearts for a "nominal fee" on 30/03/01. In a further twist the player failed a medical so no move is likely before the summer. Made an appearance at left-back against Aberdeen in April but a total lack of fitness means his bridges at the club are well and truly burnt - finally pissed off to Livingston at the end of June.
	Nathan Lowndes	Kid Goals Ginger Bomber	21yr old striker signed in August 98 from Watford after impressing in a trial. Previously played for Leeds as a youth but after a £10,000 move to Watford failed to break into the first team on a regular basis. He grabbed 2 against Hibs in the cup on his home debut and followed it up with a cracker against the Sheep 2 weeks later. Currently out with a back injury until December 2000. Refused to sign a new contract and signed for Livingston in May 2001. Unfortunately he quickly found out the grass wasn't any greener and left a year later to join Sturrock at Plymouth. Signed for Port Vale in November 2004 then Chester City
	Sean Evers		23-yr old midfielder who joined in October 2000 ona 3-month loan deal. Made his debut as a sub at Fir Park on 15/10/00. Left at the end of 2000 but apparently still wants to sign for Saints. Never did and ended up in the lower leagues.
	Kevin Thomas	Messiah - we've waited that long on his coming.	Ex-star of the Hearts youth team and former protege of St. Sandy's Kevin signed in a £150,000 4 year deal from Morton on 20/08/99. Kevin is a 24-yr old 5' 11" striker who was part of the Jambos youth cup-winning side of a few years ago. He's also a former Scotland U-21 international. Made his starting debut against Aberdeen on 29/08/99 and scored the first in a 3-0 win. Oct 2000 - a cruciate ligament injury has ruled him out until summer 2001. Found guilty of gross misconduct along with George O'Boyle at a club inquiry in Jan 2001 after allegations of cocaine taking in a Perth bar before Xmas. His contract was terminated meaning a poor end to his Saints career. Eventually won an unfair dismissal claim against Saints but awating Saints appeal. After an employment tribunal he was left with minimal damages.
	George O'Boyle	Georgio - its the Brazilian influence	Stolen from the Pars for 200,000 as a replacement for Billy Dodds in Summer 94, Georgio is Saints top scorer. Excellent player and now a full N Ireland international. Suffered recently from off-the-field antics and a damaged reputation amongst the supporters. Has been out injured with the 2nd cruciate ligament injury of his career since summer 98 but should be returning to first team action in Oct 2000. Found guilty of gross misconduct along with Kevin Thomas at a club inquiry in Jan 2001 after allegations of cocaine taking in a Perth bar before Xmas. His contract was terminated meaning a poor end to his Saints career. Legal proceedings are still ongoing. Now playing junior football.
	Kieran McAnespie	Keyring	Born in 1980 and a product of the youth team who has managed a few sub appearances so far this year. Made regular appearances on the bench in the latter half of the season. After frequent appearances for the Scotland U18 and U19 sides, he made his debut for the U21's against Finland in April 98. Was also taken along to France 98 as one of the Scotland squad kit-boys and played (and scored) for the team in a closed-doors bounce match in the USA warmup - The next big thing for Saints.? Scored in the 2-1 win over Celtic. Still technically registered with the club as of July 2000 but has made it plain he wants away - won't be missed that much. Returned after a failed trial in Norway to try his luck at Fulham who he signed for for £80,000 on 07/08/00. A loan spell at Hearts followed and in March 2002 went on loan to Bournemouth. After another spell at Plymouth he was freed in the summer of 2003. After a trial signed a 2-yr deal with Falkirk. Was released by the Bairns in Oct 2004 and signed for Saints until the end of the season. May 2005 he accepted another 6-month deal but injuries limited his appearances and he left again in Dec. Signed for Ayr until summer 06, then had a year at Alloa before signing for Morton in summer 2007.
	Allan Preston	Il Biscotti - Italian for Biscuits and the source of an entire cult.	Biscuits was signed from Dunfermline in a swap for Alan Moore. Can play in midfield but has been used as left-back most of the time. Christened OUTLET sinceNov 97 when he scored at Ibrox. Also immortalised in the new catchphrase *FORZA IL BISCOTTI !!!!!* Basically the utility squad player we expected to see on the bench in the Premier League but has been one of our most consistent performers. Was rewarded for his Premier performances with a new 2 year contract in April 98. Scored the goal of the season in the League Cup semi-final against Hearts to give further boost to the BISCUITS FOR SCOTLAND campaign. Unfortunately that saw the start of some serious injury problems which led to Biscuits having to give up the game in April 2000 due to severe arthritis in his hip at the age of 30. Played 136 games for Saints over 6 years and easily one of the most popular players at the club. He's aiming to get his coaching badge and everyone wishes him well. As of June 2000 he was heading to Macclesfield Town to join ex-Saintee and manager of the English club Peter Davenport as a coach. Returned to McD to say his farewells at a testimonial for him where Saints took on Bradford. Eventually became coach at Livvy and took over as manager in June 2004 - from where he was sacked 6 months later. Now an agent, pundit and all-round nice guy.
	Stephen Robertson	Robbo	Product of the youth scheme. Made his first-team debut last season and played a few times for the first team - fairly good keeper but still second-choice to Jesus. Signed a new 1yr contract in May 97. Has been tipped for future Scotland U-21 honours. Played in several Premier matches in 97-98 including the 2-1 defeat at the Death Star. Signed a new one year contract in June 2000 after some excellent performances in the previous season. Unfortunately a knee injury in the October means his season is over already. Freed by Saints in May 2001.
	Philip Scott	Phizzy	Phizzy is probably the only youth player to ever come out of the Totten era. Scotland U-21 cap he improved greatly last season despite injury. Confidence is a problem and some nasty injuries haven't helped but Phizzy is turning into an excellent midfielder - rated in the £1m class by the meedja. After a period of inconsistency he moved to Sheff Wed in March 1999. With Bosman meaning no fee in the summer only £100,000 was received by the club. Never the most popular of players he does have plenty of ability. Released by the Owls 3-years later after failing to establish himself at the club. Injury prone for most of his time down south he announced his retirement due to injury in July 2003 at the age of 28.
	David Xausa		Canadian striker who despite only being 22 has already rejected Sporting Lisbon, and been capped at U-20 and U-23 level for his country. The Portuguese move was rejected because he wanted to study at Uni in the States but he has been rated as one of the best youngsters in Canada. The 6ft tall striker signed in Feb 98 until the end of the season after being rejected in a trial at Stoke. Signed a 1yr deal in May 98 and has been called up to the Canadian full squad. Released in Jan 99 having failed to make even the first team squad. Moved to Inverness and now at Livingston..
	Charlie King	Chucky	17yr old striker who has played a few games for the first team due to injuries amongst more senior players. Hopefully will get a chance to shine in the reserves this season for a first-team breakthrough next year - "The new Charlie Nicholas" according to Roy Aitken. Nicknamed Chucky. Signed a new 2-year contract in May 98 but after a loan spell at Livingston signed for them for a nominal fee in Dec 98 believed to be around £30,000. Went on to Brechin.
	Paul Sturrock	JUDAS	Ex-Manager and ex-all-round nice guy. Was in charge since Nov 93. Rated as one of the best young managers in Scotland and after both Aberdeen and Hibs made moves to get him he signed a 4 year "golden handcuffs" deal in Feb 98 - not that that will stop the meedja mentioning his name every time a so-called "big" club dump their manager. Left Saints to take over at his old club Tannadice on Sept 4th 1998, a day which Saints chairman Geoff Brown the events had left him "sick". Managed in one afternoon to single-handedly wipe out all the goodwill at the club and now probably the most loathed person in Scotland by Saints supporters. Eventually quit them and now at Plymouth. Left Plymouth after treating them as well as us to take over at Southampton in March 04
	John Blackley		Asst Manager - has a very loud mouth - especially when shouting at the players if Saints are getting beaten. Favourite shout is "Danny! Danny!" followed by some strange hand gestures - this is usually ignored by the players. Banned from the dugout for most of the 1997-98 season after trying to murder ref Shug Dallas at the end of the controversial 1-0 defeat by Celtic in the Coca-Cola Cup. Quit to join Judas Sturrock in Sept 1998. Stayed on when Sturrock left but has since gone to Plymouth.
	Callum Davidson		Young left-back who was the first real star of the Sturrock youth policy to break through. Scotland U-21 international and tipped by many as a future captain of his country. Hugely popular with the support he signed for Blackburn Rovers in Feb 98 for a club record £1.75 million. Went to Leicester but freed in 2004.
	Steve Tosh		24-yr old signing from Arbroath. Had some success in the First Division but struggled to find form in the Premier League. Moved on to Raith Rovers in March 98 for £30,000, then to Livvy. Released by Livvy after an impressive SPL season in 2002 and joined Falkirk then to Aberdeen.
	Thomas "Saviour" Andersson		Second result of the 97 Great Striker search, 29yr old Thomas comes from Swedish 1st Div club Vasteras where he has been their top scorer (57 in 121 games). So keen to play in Scotland he left his family for Xmas to move to Perth. Signed until summer '98. Nicknamed "Fyndnet" (the Find) after his discovery in the Swedish lower leagues. Eventually left in May after failing to get a first team place.
	Attila Sekerlioglu	Dino	32 year old Austrian/Turkish defender / midfielder signed in Dec 95 and became a cult favourite with the fans. Well-known for his final whistle celebrations with fans and his collection of multi-coloured boots !! A bit prone to hot-headedness at times as shown by the now legendary "gob" incident with John Davies and the clashes with Lavety at the last Hivbees match. Signed a 6-mth
