How about players who's Surname could be a Christian name .... such as Charlie George, Eric Martin, Brian O'Neil and more up to date Wayne Thomas?

 

Or players who's name starts and ens with the same letter .. eg Adam Lallana?

 

Re the nativity play lets not forget Le God :prayer:

 

Nice fred, whiles away the time whilst we await our new signings ;)

Could he also be included in the animal names, as in 'Chicken' George ?

 

Maybe he could team up with team up with John 'Budgie' Burridge and John Sydehham who was affectionately known as The RoadRunner, when got the ball it was beep beep and off he went :)

 

Unfortunately we;ve had far too many Turkeys, Headless Chickens and complete T!ts to mention :rolleyes:, and one who shall remain nameless with his association of shooting ducks :mad:

Another Reserve player in the 1990s - Leroy WHALE

 

and during 1943-44 we had a POND and a DRINKWATER - I kid you not!

 

Was that Jimmy Drinkwater FF?

 

Funny there was none of Ted Bates charges called Drinkbeer as according to Shanks that is what they done best?

It's funny you should mention Ali Dia, I was looking up the answer to a World Cup related question and came upon this on Wikipedia

 

Most goals scored, overall qualifying

35, Ali Daei ( Iran, 1994–2006).

 

Any chance that Souness got himself confused do you think??

 

The Iranian cousin of the Liberian international?

 

Would take a few drams for that one.... ;)

Yes Wayne Talkes (with an E) lived in Bitterne!

Crazy Diamond - I suppose before I gave out numbers I would have to know a bit more. Maybe Roy Beazely who used to tun the ex-Saints could help?

I could get his number.

 

Since I wrote that article of course we have had Aaaron Martin and Harlee Dean, both surnames that could be first names.

Whatever happened to H Dean?

Or at least I would, if I had permissions and all that kind of stuff to send one. Hmm, one wonders how we can do this. This is also my last post I'm allowed today. All going well isn't it!

 

Basically I'm trying to put together a documentary on life after football. I've got an interview with an ex-Saints academy kid who had to drop out of the game after snapping his achilles tendon and went into a different line of work, I'm in contact with a football development centre in Dorchester who take on kids who never made it and develop them a bit and try to find them clubs (like the Hoddle Academy in Spain) and ideally would like to speak to one or two ex-pros. I've thought about getting in touch with Mick, Manny Andruszewski and maybe a footballer turned manager. The documentary is an academic project and won't be broadcasted, though I have had interest from a freelance documentary maker who regularly pitches to ITV etc.

 

Your thoughts? I think I can receive PM's so drop me a line. Cheers.

Nope, given that Ali Daei was reasonably widely known by the time Ali Dia made his appearance, and no-one's going to confuse an Iranian with "George Weah's cousin".

Andy Townsend - even though he forgets he played for us

Anders is the Swedish version Andrew, so you can chuck a Svensson in their too

Steve Baker

Mark - Wright, Dennis, Hughes

John Burridge

Ivan is also John, so you can throw in a Katalinic and Golac

Peter Wells

Kevin Bond

Paul Rideout

 

 

Just a few off the top of my head

Fair enough, have you had your sense of humour surgically removed or was that a deliberate attempt to sound big in that you knew who Ali Daei was ;)

Didn't we once have a Wayne TALKS play for us once.

 

I used to get mail incorrectly delivered to my house for a Wayne Talks living in Bitterne Park. I wonder if it's the same guy.

Wayne Talkes was from the Isle of Wight like me, he went to the Fairway School in Sandown (I went to the Grammar next door, until the two were merged in 1970). He was on the books and regularly played for the Reserves at the same time as my "cousin" Brian Humber. Both ended up at Aldershot if I recall correctly. Brian never made a first team appearance, I think Wayne made a handful before he left. Sandown has quite a good reputation for young players, James Hayter is from there and for the older folks amongst us the Fulham, Bournemouth and Ipswich goalkeeper (not allowed to say Goalie evidently) Kieron Baker was a prefect at my school when I first joined.
