Saints stars Zander Clark, Alan Mannus, Paul Paton, Joe Shaughnessy, Keith Watson and David Wotherspoon took the time on Monday afternoon to surprise pupils at Fairview School in Perth with a special Christmas visit.
The players visited each class in the younger half of the school, handing out selection boxes and St. Johnstone teddy bears and scarves, before joining the older pupils in the gym hall for some festive dancing!
Saints’ Alan Mannus said: “We’d visited the school three years ago so it was a good chance to come back and see everybody again. We all really enjoyed visiting the school again and we even got involved in some dancing this time. That was good fun and the dancers in the team, like Keith Watson and Zander (Clark), looked like they enjoyed it!
“We’re a club based in Perth and they’re a local school so the visit is the least we can do. There was definitely a St. Johnstone connection to the visit as well as a few of the pupils were telling us they were big fans. They were delighted when we came into the classrooms to give them hats and scarves. We were able to spend some time with the pupils and hopefully that was fun for them and made them enjoy their day.”
