Living the nightmare

Adrian fucking Heath. Nothing ever has or will come close to the feeling when that little shit scored at Highbury.

Fantastic for the club as both player and manager and a true gent as well. Remember at Weymouth in a pre season friendly around 86/87 he walked round the pitch with saints fans having a good day out on the piss sitting on the grass around the pitch with backs against the perimeter wall just talking and chatting to everyone. Imagine anyone involved in the game at that level doing that these days. RIP always a Saint.

Best goal in my opinion is subjective. A 2 yard tap in can cause more emotion than a 35 yard flyer. Best goal I ever saw at a Saint match was the first one I ever saw on Boxing Day 1976, goals doesn’t have to be special to change your life but I still will never be able to recreate the excitement stood underneath the old scoreboard in the Archers corner stood in a generic red & white shirt from from Toomers as an Xmas present (pre admiral) to think it was the best thing I had ever seen. That moment made me Saints for life . Best goals ever as a Saints Fan apart from the above which will always be number one. Doesn’t matter if they were stunning or not but they count more than any others: Bobby Stokes - Wembley 76 - 7 years old will never ever forget watching that go in on with my mum. She made me a flag to run around the estate with and every other kid and parents were out on the streets. I can never ever amigine that happening these days. Steve Moran - Fratton Park (In some ways better than the above as it’s fucked that lot up the road down ever since !And they have never got over it ). Nothing since despite the hurt it as caused us will ever be as bad as it caused then that day . I know a few and they cannot get over it when mentioned. Marion’ s goal against the fuckers is worth special mention as is Sir Rickie’s even though we lost as that roar was one of the loudest I have ever heard at St Mary,s No 1: Best goal of all time. Channon against Liverpool. Awesome just showed what a real team can do. No2: Keegan scissor kick against Man U - take away the fact it was disallowed. It was a fantastic goal and from the old family centre looked magnificent. No.3 :Danny Wallace overhead kick against against the Scousers Just brilliant ( Cross from the under appreciated Mark Dennis never made enough of) The header that night from Danny also wasn’t bad, Alan Hansen made to look like a right mug. No.4 : Golac Screamer . One of those that just made you go wow. Matty goals not mentionedas they were all awesome For old bugger a couple more recent ones that made me go wow: The Wallcot goal from when he was young that I think someone mentioned earlier was against Luton in the cup from the wing and was a very very good goal. As for Osvaldo against Man Cityit was just a wtf moment.

Great player in our best ever era. Two overriding memories of him as a Saint. Fantastic ball to Moran at Fratton for the win and being offside for Keegans scissor kick against Man U. Never met him myself but many lads I know knew him through work and only ever had good things to say. RIP David a true Saints Legend and thoughts to his family.

Top mush. Lots of happy memories on the Archers and under the East as well as spending Sunday afternoons watching ISC. RIP Sibs.

RIP Marcus. Deepest condolences to your family and friends. Thanks for believing in SFC.
