Yards struggled when we were in the SPL, but still managed to get 5 goals. Last season he spent a period on loan at Forfar before coming back and scoring against Airdrie. This season he has managed just one goal, which turned out to be his final goal, but what a goal it was. With Saints being 2-0 down against local rivals Morton at half time, they'd got it back to 2-2 in the second half and forced extra time. In the second period, yards proceeded to skin 3 or 4 of the unwashed's defence and slot the ball cooly away for victory. It is, in my opinion, his greatest ever Saints goal, a goal which was made even sweeter as the Morton fans had been taking the mickey out of him. Considering Yards isn't the most nimble of players it was a piece of fantastic skill which some people have said was better than Archie Gemmill's goal against Holland in the 1978 world cup!
All the best Mark, good luck for the future. You'll be missed.
