Cork can fill in at full back too and we are short of cover in these positions.

I might have asked this before ESB but what was Chris Dodson's second crime?

I do remember Tim working in Squires on a Saturday - a real trendy with his blond flowing locks and a digital watch which I bought off him

Not sure your last sentence is something I should be proud of ?

Bootsie has a ST in the Kingsland

S-Clarke - you usually post sense but I would like to hear your views if it was 20 years from now. The OP has made a very eloquent statement, one which I agree with. This new kit sums everything up for me, the club are clueless when it comes to tradition. It was me who suggested the sash to Andy Oldknow and despite his faults he knew that that was a wise choice - since he left marketing decisions have been a farce. Best I say no more.

I wasn't there but have some photos etc and details from this game - feel free to contact me Duncan@duncanholley.co.uk

For those who are interested in our history, I am sad to report that Saints oldest living player Charlie Purves has just passed away in Southampton aged 92. He played 36 games for us between 1951 and 1954, having joined from Charlton. That makes Stan Clements who has just turned 90 the oldest Saints player while just behind him is Bill Ellerington who is 90 tomorrow.

Bill Ellerington coming up 90 years old. Spoke to him this week.

Absolutely horrendous, even worse than last years and that was awful. Whoever came up with this garbage should be shot

Still missing some big hitters contributions

Was in Petersfield yesterday and called in to John Westwood's book shop. He has lost a shed load of weight it must be all the worry.

The reason we went from navy blue shorts to black was that the blue dye faded badly and so the change was for practical reasons. Personally I would like to go back to navy shorts but only if there are stripes above.

He sounds like an absolute fruit and nut case - no thanks wouldn't take him on a free.

Jeremy Wilson who tracked Ron down for his Cult Heroes being just one

Constructive dismissal exercise I would say - AP is going to have to walk and now he has a cause

Let's give him a chance, MP knows what he is doing. The guy is young, has pedigree, speaks English and has 17 caps with a premier international side. He may have lost his way a little last season which means he will be keen to reassert himself.

Just been informed it has been put back again - I sometimes wonder if it is worth the effort. The family were really looking forward to hearing the programme today.

Sorry keep getting that wrong

On another thread I reported back that R4 have held it back another week due to the death of tom Wolfe

R4 have just e mailed me the tribute to Ron will not be aired tomorrow probably next week

I gather Ron has now been cremated in Albuqurque and his ashes flown to Oregon where his daughter lives. I was interviewed by BBC R4 this morning for a feature on Ron in their "The Last Word" programme. Mick Channon also contributed. It might be aired tomorrow at 4, but I gather it may now be put back due to the death of Tom Wolfe but it will definitely be broadcasted soon - if not tomorrow they will let me know when. That's about it.

I spoke to Ron's sister Monday and she was waiting for a call from Ron's daughter - not heard anything since and having fallen quite literally in the Solent today while bass fishing my phone is now US. Sorry I am out of the loop
