Marching On... 125 Years of The St Mirren Football Club

by Jack Paterson and Bob McPherson with Brian Wright

This book chronicles the first 125 years of the St Mirren Football Club of Paisley, from it's first fixture on Saturday 6th October 1877 through to the end of it's anniversary season - 2002-2003.

It is a story of success and hardship bridging three centuries and encompassing two world wars.

A story of Directors and Managers, Players and Supporters who helped steer this famous club, founding members of The Scottish Football League, through crises and triumphs, good times and bad.

It puts to right long-standing misconceptions. Particularly those perpetuated even within the official "Centenary History" and other publications, regarding the origins of the club, its founding fathers and the locations of previous grounds.

It describes many of the special events and personalities that have helped to weave the particular 'Paisley Pattern' this is St Mirren; Cup wins, League triumphs and European Glory Nights.

Painstakingly researched, compiled and written over a four year period, it is the most accurate and definitive publication yet undertaken on the story and history of this most famous Scottish football institution.

It gives the club back to the most important people of all ... its supporters.
