Sad to hear, a Saints Legend.

[the scud]

Thanks for everything you have done and good luck for the future

[70's Mike]

Top player

a man whose absence was a major part of our decline

[chivvy1664]

for the best and all the best

[Glasgow_Saint]

thought he retired already? is he planning another "i'm back" T-shirt?

Top player

a man whose absence was a major part of our decline

 

Agree

[Master Bates]

Wow, he signed 7 years ago today.

[70's Mike]

Wow, he signed 7 years ago today.

 

the last 4 of which have been a nightmare

[scott_saints]

I find it more sad that a takeover thread about a random rumour would probably be on page 3 by now.

 

Cheers though Killer!

[Dimond Geezer]

Good luck and thanks Killer.

 

The last of our Prem players now gone

[Islander]

Much appreciation for everything and good luck in the future.

[PaulSaint]

Good luck in our future?

[Broke]

Good Luck Killer

[The9]

Top bloke for his honesty and loyalty to the club through all of this, deserves better than bowing out with us in this kind of state.

 

Is that the last link with the Prem side gone now then ?

[Colinjb]

Sadly innevitable, but his frankly heroic efforts to fight those injuries deserve the respect of all Saints fans, this is a man who risked his health and sanity to try and get back playing for us.

 

Hope he stays with us in a coaching capacity. Maybe he could manage us one day? Shades of Clough in what has happened to him as a player....

[Hatch]

Good Player for us, and thanks and all that.

 

Not a legend though, not by a long way.

[Iowsaintsfan]

A fantastic player though sadly inevitable, as colin says above his heroic efforts to get beat the injuries and get back playing was remarkable and heroic - a true Saints icon

 

Good Luck Killer

[thesaint sfc]

Good luck Killer.

 

Thanks for the memories.

[Saintjersey]

Such a legend, thank you for everything you did for us. You really could have hung your boots up a long time ago, instead you fought for years to be fit in an attempt to play for us once again. I just hope the club can reward you in some sort of way (like giving you a coaching role).

 

Thanks again Killer!

[Bailey]

A bit more about Killer on the OS now . . .

He was, and is, a legend!

 

No slagging off on here so far either! Long may it continue

[Nutwood2]

One of the Saints all-time greats. Stick with us Killer and show them how to do it!

[johnsey]

Thanks killer and all the best a proper mans man

[Arizona]

the last 4 of which have been a nightmare

 

Try 5 and a half.

 

Amazing to thing a player could become legendary based on 1 1/2 years playing for a club. Top player though, we really missed ever since the injury. Only Davies has come close to replacing him.

 

Not exactly surprise of the century he has retired, but all the best anyway Killer.

[Deanovski]

amazing guy got the team to sign a shirt and card for my 18th top chap.

 

good luck.

[S4INT]

Last player left from the FA Cup Final - what a great day that was :]

Thanks for a few years of the best centre-back pairing in the Premiership Michael

[Window Cleaner]

At last, should never have tried to come back last season. He was finished but still insisted that he wasn't ,f*cked us over good and proper and left us with just the totally talentless Lancashire to depend on. We might have been able to get someone like Saejis earlier if he hadnt tarted us about.Mind you the management should have told him nice try but no thanks last summer as well so not all his fault.

[RonManager]

Retirement,

 

Isn't it?

 

Not marvellous, Sad

[Saint_clark]

A great icon but not a legend, IMO that would rank him up there with Bates, Le Tissier, Paine and Channon which isn't right.

[skintsaint]

quite scary for a ginger...

[Bad Wolf]

Thanks Killer for the 7 years. Good luck
