Robson had a stand named after him for what he achieved at Ipswich, which was remarkable.Nearly as remarkable was what Lawrie achieved for us, and to go back to the original thread, there's no way Bally and players like him would have ever signed for us without him. For giving us a decade of "fantasy football" I think there should be some sort of honour bestowed on Lawrie.

100% agree with you mate, forget about the all politics bullsh1t and just concentrate about the football and what he actually brought to the club, after all thats what we are, football fans!

 

The Lawrey Mc Menemy (sp?) stand, yes, why not!

 

Cup finals, 2nd place, europe, FA cup winners, couldn't agree more Mr. Duck, lets speak to the club and get the Kingsland name changed.

[Lord Duckhunter]

If the players he brought to the Club turned up to honour him, what a remarkable array of talent that would be. Shilts, Mick Mills, Dave Watson, Chris Nicholl, Keegan, Armstrong,Worthington, Wright, Dennis, Case, amongst others. Not forgetting Williams, Wallace, Moran ect that he gave a chance to. Throw in the cup winning side and family of Bally, and Osgood, some people might suddenly realise just what a remarkable job he did.

 

The football he produced was the best they'll ever be in our City, in years to come his era will be considered a Golden Era in our Club's history. There will be no mention of boardroom stuff and alledged love of money, just acknowledgement of a remarkable era and a remarkable Saints Manager.

 

Unfortunatly, it looks like he'll be gone, before his achievemnets are fully appricated by some.

Lawrie does have freedom of the city doesn't he? If not, he should have, and I would gladly buy him a pint of Barbican as a small thank you for all the pleasuer he brought to me.

Already sold, but just look at the great man on the back cover of this:

Nope. Not old enough. Played fewer than 200 games for us, and all of those appearances were during his Indian Summer, not his peak.

 

So in terms of matches played, you'd be better off naming a stand after, say, Matty Oakley.

 

Alan Ball in terms of contribution/affinity to Saints is not Channon, Davies, Le Tissier, Paine or Bates.

 

Crikey lad. You have a lot to learn. He was exceptional for us. Though i agree, others are more worthy of a named stand
