A LOT to digest. We are still going up, though

Few weeks ago, a Finnish betting magazine tipped the Saints to be *the* team shocking the opposition at the start of the campaign. Reason: a team with great run and minimal changes since the last season will have their act together right from the start. Was laughing my *ss off that the pundit does not know the history of how Saints usually start their season. Now I'm laughing my *ss off that the pundit did not realise how this run will continue. I may be wrong once but not twice.

I echo that. Almost every prime moment of Antti in the Saints has been covered in this thread. However, saint1977's point is an important one: he was not only a top keeper, he also gave a damn about the Saints: a year or two ago Antti wrote a column in a Finnish newspaper about the prime moment of his sporting life, being in the FA Cup Final with the Saints. It really was a sentimental article, years after he had left the Saints, which proved me that he still really cherishes the club and the time at Saints. There's no doubt that we were the lucky ones to experience the prime time of his career. Top keeper. And top bloke.
