Redondo Saint Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 Despite some great wins, players, losses, etc... one of the stand out games for me was the 3-3 against Middlesbrough in '98. A pretty lively game with tackles everwhere but no goals in the first half. Bring on the second half and we saw 6 goals and 2 sendings off! Brilliant free kick from Gazza, good goal from Beatts and a great OG from Our Claus!! Did Super Ken score? Plus 2 sendings off from 'borough. Pretty good teams on both sides. Great afternoon at The Dell!!! Back to the Osbourne for plenty of sherbs. Good days
stevegrant Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 I seem to remember Mikkel Beck equalised for them in the 96th minute or something ridiculous like that - wasn't happy! A couple of other 3-3 draws spring to mind, actually - the comeback from 3-0 down against Liverpool and, almost certainly more importantly, the comeback from 3-1 down against Blackburn in the Great Escape season. Games against Newcastle tended to be pretty good as well, that 4-2 game where Stuart Ripley tore them to bits and Mark Hughes actually scored (25-yard volley into the top corner!) The Man City League Cup game (4-3 after extra time) was a cracker as well.
eesti matty Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 When we beat Liverpool 4-1. That was the 1989/90 season and I think it was Jason Dodd's first or second game for us. Liverpool have not won the league since then!
Dellman Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 So many great memories but how about FACup Round 5, replay against Nottm forest, 0-3 down with 20 mins to go, drew 3-3 that was unbelievable. Won the 2nd replay at White Hart Lane 5-0, lost in the semifinal at Villa to MU
chocco boxo Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 When we beat Marseille 4-0 or 4-1. Channon was in top form, The Dell at its best, packed crowd, floodlights on and that smell of the west stand, wood, cigars and beer. The place rocked that night.
John B Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 So many great memories but how about FACup Round 5, replay against Nottm forest, 0-3 down with 20 mins to go, drew 3-3 that was unbelievable. Won the 2nd replay at White Hart Lane 5-0, lost in the semifinal at Villa to MU Yes that was probably the best one I ever saw There was also the League Cup final v Leeds where we were 1 0 up after 5 or so minutes and hung on for a victory with the whole crowd so tense.
Chorlton Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 The Beck goal was for Derby in another 3-3 (we were 3-1 up and Ripley got one of them. pahars scored a screamer, and Delap got one for Derby) Remember a brilliant 4-3 win V Ipswicjh in the early 90's, with le Tiss getting a last minute winner for us, after Ipswich had equalised a minute before The 4-1 win against Liverpool was probably the best performance I have ever seen from us though. We ripped them to pieces that day, and could have had 7. Later on that season we beat Swindon 4-2 in the league cup AET. We were two nil down and we brought on Shearer & Ruddock to play up front. They terrorised the Swindon defence, kicked anything that moved, and we finally took the tie to extra time, when Le Tiss & Rod Wallace won the game.
rolosfc Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 The 2-0 win over Everton always stands out for me in the great escape season. Remember Pahars scoring a header whilst almost lying on the floor it was so low. Also the 2-2 draw against Newcastle in the 90's when Matt equalised at the Milton end, was right behind that strike as it flew in! Good times.
labibs Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 My first ever game at the Dell, beat Ipswich 4-3 towards the end of the 92-93 season. Le Tiss got the winner right at the end. Loved Saints ever since.
Foxy Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 When we beat Liverpool 4-1. That was the 1989/90 season and I think it was Jason Dodd's first or second game for us. Liverpool have not won the league since then! +1 one of my all time faves. It was on the back of a 10 game unbeaten run, including 5 past QPR away the previous week, we played an exciting 4-2-4 back then and could have had a netful more. Funnily the moment I remember most clearly from the game was before openeing the scoring with a header from Dodd's cross Rideout crashing a shot off the underside of the bar from way out with Grobbelaar beaten all ends up. Looked like it had crossed the line and bounced back out from the Milton where I was standing.
shurlock Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 My first ever game at the Dell, beat Ipswich 4-3 towards the end of the 92-93 season. Le Tiss got the winner right at the end. Loved Saints ever since. Great game - if i remember we were 3-2 up and they -chris kiwomya- get a last minute goal in front of the milton and what seems a draw but only for le tiss to pop up at the other end to get a fourth.
wokingsaints Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 beating bolton in a 5th round replay on a midweek night circa 91. barry horne scored two huge goals near the end to take us through. i ended up about 20yrds futher than i was originally standing after his second goal went in. the milton road was going mental. Got back to my car around 11pm to find one of my tyres had been slashed....and had to be at heathrow airport at 5am as i was travelling to india 6hrs later! fond memories
Cheeky Monkey Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 The worst was at home to Man city in the branfoot era... terrible match - was over by half time and we were terrible....no worse that that.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 The 4-2 win over Newcastle when Kachloul got a couple. Fantastic game - we were one down at half time, if I remember correctly, and then came out 2nd half and scored four before the Toon nicked one back. It's particularly memorable, for me, for Stuart Ripley setting one up for Hassan and then running back to continue an argument he was having with a fella on the halfway line, while the rest of the team were celebrating!!
OldNick Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 the evening game v Newcastle. 1-0 down with about 5 minutes to go.Looked like it was our lot and we'd go down. The announcer came over the tannoy would the Archers please sit daown.That sent a wave of disobedience around and the Archers and ground just lifted. The atmosphere just changed and the Newcastle players froze and we went on and won 3-1. I remember my brother getting up to walk out as he did we equalised and his immortal words 'too little too late' lol. The London teams coming down in the late 60's -early 70's it was exciting just waiting to see the punch ups. It is impossible to discribe unless you were there. Just a row of policemen between the 2 sets of fans nd then it would go off.Wrong but it has great memories.
Minsk Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 beating bolton in a 5th round replay on a midweek night circa 91. barry horne scored two huge goals near the end to take us through. i ended up about 20yrds futher than i was originally standing after his second goal went in. the milton road was going mental. Got back to my car around 11pm to find one of my tyres had been slashed....and had to be at heathrow airport at 5am as i was travelling to india 6hrs later! fond memories Yep, that was a fantastic match. I don't believe nobody has mentioned the 6-3 drubbing of ManUre yet. Undoubtedly one of my best afternoons EVER, let alone one of my best at the Dell! And another match that springs to mind (I'm sure it was an evening game) was the 8-2 win over Coventry. I seem to remember that both Steve Moran and Danny Wallace (or was it Rod?) scored a hatrick in that match.
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 My top three would be: 1 Saints v Coventry 5-5 - Keegan et al 2 Saints V Arse - Last game at the Dell 3 Saints v Liverpool 4-1 89/90 The place used to rock!!
krissyboy31 Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 Yep, that was a fantastic match. I don't believe nobody has mentioned the 6-3 drubbing of ManUre yet. Undoubtedly one of my best afternoons EVER, let alone one of my best at the Dell! And another match that springs to mind (I'm sure it was an evening game) was the 8-2 win over Coventry. I seem to remember that both Steve Moran and Danny Wallace (or was it Rod?) scored a hatrick in that match. Obviously 2 of the best results we've ever had at the Dell (too young to remember the 9-3 Wolves game) but the best actual game I saw at the Dell was the 5-5 draw with Coventry. All out attack from both teams Keegan and Cassells both got 2 for us and Mark Hateley scored a hatrick for Cov and produced one of the best performances of any away player, I can remember.
Mosta Saint Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 I'd agree the 4-1 Liverpool, 4-2 Swindon were amazing days at the Dell. Also can never forget 4-1 Norwich, midweek game and Le Tiss scored an unbelievable hat trick. circa 1989/90?
Petersfield Saint Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 Yep, that was a fantastic match. I don't believe nobody has mentioned the 6-3 drubbing of ManUre yet. Undoubtedly one of my best afternoons EVER, let alone one of my best at the Dell! And another match that springs to mind (I'm sure it was an evening game) was the 8-2 win over Coventry. I seem to remember that both Steve Moran and Danny Wallace (or was it Rod?) scored a hatrick in that match. Was going to mention the 6-3 but TBH that was a surreal afternoon for me (and my ManUre-supporting boss who I brought with me - happy days:)). I think my favourite match was the one vs Boro a couple of matches before - Ravanelli, Juninho et al and yet we tonked them 4-0 (first league win of the season too?) including Tiss scoring from a corner. Didn't Neil Moss save Rava's penalty too (or did he miss it?)?
Dog Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 Saints 5 ~ 2 Luton Town My 1st time being arrested at football. Happy days.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 I always remember the 6-2 win against Villa, last game of the season, with pleasure. 42 years ago!
Barfy Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 I'd agree the 4-1 Liverpool, 4-2 Swindon were amazing days at the Dell. Also can never forget 4-1 Norwich, midweek game and Le Tiss scored an unbelievable hat trick. circa 1989/90? Also got to be one of the highlights for me. IIRC we were 1-0 down at half time, then MLT scored an absolutely sublime hat-trick, I can never decide whether the lob, or him taking the ball past most of the Norwich team was the best... Wasn't it also Kevin Moore who scored a 35 yard screamer that night too?
LaptopSaint Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 Also got to be one of the highlights for me.

Wasn't it also Kevin Moore who scored a 35 yard screamer that night too? Best hat-trick I've ever seen. Still outraged that it wasn't in the Guardian's best all-time hat-trick list. Brilliant brilliant game. Also beating Man City after extra time in the League Cup. I thought the Archers was going to explode.
Gis Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 When we beat Marseille 4-0 or 4-1. Channon was in top form, The Dell at its best, packed crowd, floodlights on and that smell of the west stand, wood, cigars and beer. The place rocked that night. 4-0 The best game I ever saw Ossy have in a Saints shirt. Evening matches always have that extra bit of magic - this one was special.
Appy Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 When we beat chelsea 3-2 in 1999 i think. Beattie with a fantastic last minute free kick.
EFM Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 Hard to pick just one but I can't remember being happier after a game than the 4-0 thrashing of Pxmpey in 75/76 season. Channon hat-trick in ****ing rain. Got home to watch full game being re-shown on South Today and then had to write an essay for school about what we had done at the weekend. I think mine won an award of some sort as it was the longest ever submitted!
Ian the Red Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 So many.... 4-3 home win in the 80's against Ipswich when we were 3-1 down at HT. 1-0 FA Cup Final win 4-1 v Liverpool 4-0 away on plastic against QPR 6-3 v Man U 1-0 v Arsenal at Highbury Danny Wallace scored after 10 minutes And many, many, more.... thats why I love Saints so many fantastic matches and many many more to come.................
Miffy Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 (edited) 3-1 against Man U. 3-0 at Half Time (it could have been eight), and they changed their shirts because they couldn't see each other....apparently! Ha Ha Edited 2 July, 2009 by Miffy
sotongomad76 Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 3-1 against Man U. 3-0 at Half Time (it could have been eight), and they changed their shirts because they couldn't see each other....apparently! Ha Ha Wasn't it more than 3-1?
krissyboy31 Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 Wasn't it more than 3-1? No. Manyoo won the second half (in their blue shirts) 1-0.
Crab Lungs Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 Despite some great wins, players, losses, etc... one of the stand out games for me was the 3-3 against Middlesbrough in '98.

Great afternoon at The Dell!!! Back to the Osbourne for plenty of sherbs. Good days Brilliant day! Remember Hamilton Ricard knackered after five minutes, dripping with sweat, that horrible light blue/white kit they were wearing and for some reason, Gianluca Festa and Robbie Mustoe? They were the sendings off, I think? Remember also Gazza staying outside the ground until he had signed every autograph... amazing gesture. Some guy even got him to sign a whisky bottle and Gazza said he didn't mind, as long as he didn't expect him to drink it.
Crab Lungs Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 The 4-2 win over Newcastle when Kachloul got a couple. Fantastic game - we were one down at half time, if I remember correctly, and then came out 2nd half and scored four before the Toon nicked one back. It's particularly memorable, for me, for Stuart Ripley setting one up for Hassan and then running back to continue an argument he was having with a fella on the halfway line, while the rest of the team were celebrating!! Ripley was awesome that game. Mark Hughes' goal was quality too. I remember that Beligan keeper they had in goal.. lol
ZebadeeRust Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 The Beck goal was for Derby in another 3-3 (we were 3-1 up and Ripley got one of them. pahars scored a screamer, and Delap got one for Derby) Remember a brilliant 4-3 win V Ipswicjh in the early 90's, with le Tiss getting a last minute winner for us, after Ipswich had equalised a minute before The 4-1 win against Liverpool was probably the best performance I have ever seen from us though.

They terrorised the Swindon defence, kicked anything that moved, and we finally took the tie to extra time, when Le Tiss & Rod Wallace won the game. That Swindon game was excellent, I think I remember Matty's goal from a free kick, looked glorious from behind the Milton goal. It was a great atmosphere that night. The 4 - 3 Ipswitch game was pretty great as well. Happy days indeed.
derry Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 1963, v Forest div1 we were div 2, 0-3 13 mins to go drew 3-3 won replay at WHL 5-0, beaten 0-1 to a Denis Law off the knee scramble at Villa Park in SF by MU. George Kirby was the roughest, toughest sob on a football field I have ever seen inc Big Jake.
gordonToo Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 1963, v Forest div1 we were div 2, 0-3 13 mins to go drew 3-3 won replay at WHL 5-0, beaten 0-1 to a Denis Law off the knee scramble at Villa Park in SF by MU. George Kirby was the roughest, toughest sob on a football field I have ever seen inc Big Jake. Have to agree with you on the 3-3 draw for sheer raw excitement. Kirby was my hero in those days - class player!
Give it to Ron Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 So many... Steve Mills Testimonial first time I saw Shearer wher Nicholl bloodied him and he got up and scored from the free kick. Ipswich at home early 80's we went 2 down - where that git Wark hung around our box where Waldron lay injured - Armstrong danced through their defence for the winner. Beating Chelsea 5-0 wher Hutchison and Hudson made their debuts for them. Fulham when Bestie got sent off and Marsh got the full treatment from the crowd.....so would of Angiie!!!
Polaroid Saint Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 The 4-1 win against Newcastle at the dell in the eighties will always stick in my mind. best player that day was peter beardsley for the toon - if he'd been on his own it would have been a draw!!!
gjphilsaint Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 Saint 6 Man utd 3 Saints 3 Man Utd 1 Saints 3 Pompey 0 (FA Cup) Saints 8 Coventry 2
Fowllyd Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 A personal favourite - 3-2 against Liverpool in 1983 (82-83 season). We scored first with a Martin Foyle penalty, they equalised and then took the lead, but the great Nick Holmes scored two, the second an astonishing lob over Grobbelaar from miles out. All that happened in the first half. No goals in the second (obviously enough), but it was still a great half. Liverpool did their considerable best to get a third, but Saints kept them out. Superb football played by both sides. The 2-0 win over the same opposition the following season was pretty damn good too.
Danny R Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 For sheer atmosphere, my favourite was Spurs in the cup - 2-2 at full time and 2-6 by the end! The place was rockin that night too!
spyinthesky Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 So many Nottm Forest 3-3 in 1963 Wolves 9-3 in 1966 Ipswicn 7-1 in the cup about 1965? Leeds 5-4 in the League Cup. Floodlights went out. Huxford in goal Charlton 1-0 the last home game in the year we were first promoted to Div 1 (V nervous game needed the points) 6-3 v man utd 3-2 v Arsenal (mattys goal - so emotional) so many more....
Stud mark of doom Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 I loved the 4-2 swindon victory in the late eighties. Latter stages on the league cup, I think, but when it still meant something. We were 2-0 down at half time before the introduction by the Bruise Brothers, Ruddock and Shearer. Nichol's subs were inspired. We laid siege in the 2nd half and must have had at least 20 good attempts at goal, with Swindon barely being able to clear their penalty area, but didn't get level till near the end. Finished them off in extra time. Fantastic. I remember the 90's 4-0 victory against Boro well as I had it as a correct score bet. I remember thinking that it could be my lucky day when Super Ken made a chest-high "welcome to the Premiership" challenge on little Juniniho in the opening 30 seconds. But the best match at the Dell has got to be the last (real) one. I particularly remember heaving a sigh of relief when we almost made it four right at the end with an effort which just wouldn't have quite signed off 100+ years the right note. Perfect.
bpsaint Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 Hard to look past the last game at the Dell obviously,but earlier that season we beat Chelsea 3-2 with Beatts scoring a free kick in the last minute after we'd thrown away a 2-0 lead. Two of my teachers at school at the time,Mr Morse and Mr Anstee,were the most arrogant Chelsea supporting ******s of all time and I could hear their laughter ringing around my head when we threw that lead away,so watching the net ripple from the winner felt extra special.
Saint137 Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 3-0 comback against Liverpool with Marian jumping in the Archers to celebrate 3-2 against Arsenal, I remember nothing from Matty scoring to everyone being on the pitch, just magical Also remember a really niggly game against Leeds, depths of winter, Smith and Bowyer were their usual gobby selves and the atmosphere between the fans was cracking as a result. One of those games where outdoing the away fans was more important than the result (I have no idea whether we won or lost).
vince Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 For some reason, two stick in my memory. Early 90's beating the Ar$e, Keown, Adams et al, 1-0, scoring in the 83rd minute. 1 nil to the Southampton boys, 1 nil..... Leeds, semi final 2nd leg, league cup 1979. My Dads mate ran the line that night and got us tickets. We were stood in the car park until 5 minutes before KO, when he ran out with them. Being a nipper then, I don't remember much of the game, but I do remember the double decker bar my nan gave me to eat at half time. 'Effin huge they were.
redandwhitey Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 worst game, losing to Alan Balls skate side 0-2 at the dell on a boxing day or good friday or something like that. Went home and had a right royal row with my wife, as I was apparently miserable over a "silly football match". She did learn in her later years, just how important it really was. Then when we were both bloody miserable after a defeat the rows were deafening !!!
sotongomad76 Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 No. Manyoo won the second half (in their blue shirts) 1-0. Aha must be getting it mixed up with the other Man Utd (6-3) game
