David Wotherspoon
Testimonial Year

Celebrating St Johnstone's most garlanded player!

Events
We are working on a programme of events for David that will have something, we trust, for everyone. Given David's importance to St Johnstone's history, we want to make sure that every Saints fan has the opportunity to attend at least one event (and hopefully more) and that the prices for admission will be reasonable, especially when the cost of living is affecting us all.
You can buy tickets/tables for all the events at the Tickets/Gifts section below.
So far, we have the following confirmed:
Football Festival on the astro at McDiarmid on Saturday 20th June. This all-day event will feature football for all ages, including Walking Football and Para-Football. It is free for all participants and spectators, but we'll have a bucket collection for Spoony so please bring along some spare cash (which you can also spend in the Fan-zone, which will be open all day for food and beverages. Thanks to Saints in the Community for their support. Thanks to Sidey for sponsoring the Football Festival.
Golf Day at the King James VI course on the Island (where David was a member for many years), on 7th August, 2026. This is now fully booked, but if anyone wants to take a final four-ball then we may be able to re-arrange things. Price is £250 for the four-ball, £300 if you also want hole-sponsorship. Thanks to NFU Mutual, Perth Agency, for sponsoring the Golf Day.
