StJohn cost a then club record £37,500 from Motherwell and this ebullient, crew-cut raider became an instant hero of Liverpool fans by scoring a debut hat trick against Everton in the Liverpool Senior Cup Final.
A wonderful competitor, whose timing in the air overcame his lack of height at 5ft 7½ins he was a majestic header of the ball and with compatriots Yeats and goalkeeper Tommy Lawrence, formed the team's 'spine' that Shankly rated so crucial and which took them to League championship glory and onto the European stage.

This program is written because of St. John's love of the Saints and because of his desire that all Christians should pray daily and often.

StJohn scored three times and deservedly earned rave reviews for his all-round performance.
If he hadn’t have scored another goal in the red shirt he’d still be feted today as the man who broke the club’s 73-year cup duck but there was much more to come from the inspirational Scot who was equally adept at operating as a centre forward, inside forward or deep lying creative midfielder.
With the passing of time the goals slowly dried up but StJohn remained an influential member of a team in which he was almost an ever-present for eight seasons and a title winner again in 1965/66.
Ian is Dean of Studies and also teaches New Testament and hermeneutics.
Ian's first degree was in Maths, and he worked in industrial business (making chocolate!) prior to ordination.
Before moving to StJohn's, he spent eight years on the staff of St Mary's, a town centre church in Poole, Dorset which saw significant growth over that time.

John has also proved a popular football commentator.
By the fifth hole lightning crackled overhead and we were called in off the course.
In the changing rooms, I spotted StJohn, towel strapped round waist, leaving the shower area.
'I work for Goal magazine.' Without missing a beat, StJohn dropped his towel and, fully naked and dripping wet, said: 'Good for you, Sonny.' Then he cut me dead and went off to comb his hair.
