This book chronicles the first 125 years of The St. Mirren
Football Club of Paisley, from its first match on Satuday 6 October 1877
through to the end of its anniversary season 2002-03.

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, perpetuated even within the
official "Centenary History" and other publications, regarding the origins
of the club, its founding fathers and the location of previous grounds.

It describes many of the special events and personalities that have helped
weave the particular "Paisley Pattern" that 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 famous Scottish football institution.

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