The Leader Newspaper Quote: ‘Shanks got Bob Paisley to rub some iodine mixed with boot polish on my private parts’. Andrew Atkinson looks back on the career of Scotland and Liverpool legend Ian St John who frequented Spain and played at Vistabella Golf Jacarilla, who died on March 1 aged 82. IAN St John spent part of his time in latter retirement in Spain, playing golf after a illustrious football career at Liverpool and Scotland. After hanging up his boots he became a TV celebrity, with ‘On The Ball’ and with Jimmy Greaves in ‘Saint and Greavesie’. Capped 21 times for Scotland, he was under Bill Shankly in the Liverpool team of the 1960s that won two League titles, and an FA Cup winner’s medal.
