Happy 80th Birthday Geoff Brown!
29th July 2023
Everyone at McDiarmd Park sends their congratulations and best wishes to our Honorary President Geoff Brown who celebrates his 80th birthday today!
It’s 37 years since Geoff joined Saints – at that time we were a club carrying a heavy financial burden and playing our football at a decaying, no longer fit-for-purpose Muirton Park.
New Chairman Geoff, along with his hand-picked new Board of Directors, turned the finances around and – crucially – masterminded the move to McDiarmid Park in 1989.
Geoff has been at the club ever since, witnessing first hand our remarkable successes in maintaining our long run of top league football, numerous European adventures and three domestic cup wins.
The guiding light in the GS Brown Construction company he founded in 1970, racehorse owner and family man, Geoff received an OBE in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to Scottish football and the community in Perth.
Never far from the club during his son Steve’s 12-year tenure as Chairman, in spring this year Geoff was appointed our Honorary President.
Happy 80th Birthday Geoff – congratulations from everyone here at McDiarmid Park today!
