Geoff Brown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geoffrey Brown is a Scottish businessman and current chairman of St. Johnstone.
Brown took his position in 1986, thus making him the longest-serving chairman in Scotland, when St. Johnstone were in financial trouble. A "rights issue" raised £150,000, which solved the club's short-term problems.[1]
His 1992 sacking of popular manager Alex Totten sparked criticism amongst the Perth faithful, though time has healed those wounds.
Brown underwent a successful operation for prostate cancer in July 2001.
In August 2006, to mark Brown's twentieth anniversary as chairman of St. Johnstone, the Perthshire Advertiser published his best-of-Saints XI from the past two decades[2]:
