NickG Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1901402,00.html Thought it was a good article.
S-Clarke Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 for a moment, skim reading, i thought that said pardew in hospital...! but yeh, that is a good article. - i like what he says about how he looks forward to training at the moment. sounds like it's a great place to me right now!
NickG Posted 10 December, 2009 Author Posted 10 December, 2009 its good to learn some social skills -because some players struggle!
saintmatt Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 some good photos as well http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/Gallery/0,,10280~1901430,00.html
pilsburydoughboy Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Great story and pictures and well done saints. Check out the first picture is AP groping or is the Blonde? Most of the squad are checking it out.
swannymere Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 I'm not sure if it happens already but maybe the squad/club should make these kinds of visits a monthly thing, just to remind some of the players (mainly the nippers) how privileged they are and to help keep them on an even keel?
St.Jeweller Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 well done lads,is there anything this squad can't achieve?
red and white saint Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Good article and intresting quote about if we win at the weekend we can go to Leeds and let are hair down (dont think we will be going there for a point then)
Saint_clark Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Good to see this annual event being continued.
benjii Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Lovely stuff. Who's the player on the far right of the group photo? Is it Kayne McClaggon? If so that settles the "is he 6ft 3?" debate once and for all!
Saint_clark Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Lovely stuff. Who's the player on the far right of the group photo? Is it Kayne McClaggon? If so that settles the "is he 6ft 3?" debate once and for all! McLaggon is still at Eastbourne, I think that guy is Daryl Mclean.
benjii Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Oh, ok. Well if anyone ever says Daryl Mclean is 6ft 3 I will shout them down.
Saint_clark Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 But "he stands just over 6ft 3, Mclean, Mclean" works so well.
benjii Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 He gets the ball he takes the **** He's named after paste you brush on your teeth Daryl McClean Southampton's unknown quantity.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 Great article and so nice to see the guys getting involved in the community especially with those unfortunate kids. The spirit in the camp looks fantastic and AP is just so flippin' positive, no wonder we've got that winning mentality back. Just another little example of what a fantastic feeling you get being a part of Saints now.

shurlock Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 I thought the picture of morgan, perry, connolly and james was some sort of barber shop quartet at first with a mike in the middle - didn't realise the girl was hooked up to something.
spd Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 Really good article and he certainly presses all the right buttons, think we are fortunate to have him at this present time
Saint137 Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 Perceptive too about the support - it was a bit flat against Wycombe I thought. Very quiet for a night game and for some reason I couldn't be arsed to sing and that was the same for a lot of people around me who normally do as well...
Master Bates Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 some good photos as well http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/Gallery/0,,10280~1901430,00.html Daily Echo must be fuming lol
Minty Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 Check out the first picture is AP groping or is the Blonde? Most of the squad are checking it out. Wayne Thomas is quite clearly staring at her ar$e...!
rooney Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 Well done Saints. Really pulls at the heart strings.
Lazlo78 Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 Even though this might just be another contractual/social obligation for the players this probably means the world to those kids. Some of them have very little joy in their life and a visit like this will give them something positive to concentrate on for weeks before and after. Good on SFC for setting it up.
ecuk268 Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 The club have always been pretty good at this sort of thing. Many years ago a mate's mum was very poorly in Southampton General. She was an avid Saints fan so he wrote to the club to see if they might send her a card. Much to her delight, one morning in walks Danny Wallace with a card and a big bunch of flowers. Made her day.

Great story Your right, saints have always been good like that. a few years ago (possibly the promotion season but im not sure) my Mum wrote to both Pompey and Saints to ask for a prize for a charity raffle she was doing in aid of beast cancer research. Within a few days we recieved a signed home and away shirt with a note offering best wishes from saints, and yet to this day we have not heard a word from our fishy friends!
garryuk Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 McLaggon is still at Eastbourne, I think that guy is Daryl Mclean. No hes right it is Mclaggon
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 I wonder who has the bad social skills?! My money's on Paul Wotton!
londonsaint1604 Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 I wonder who has the bad social skills?! My money's on Paul Wotton! Definitely Kelvin ;-)
corsacar saint Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 This is a very important role that the players and management do for the sick children. Well done to the club.[ I was seriously ill in hospital this time 5 years ago, but at the then age of 49, I doubt that I was in the right ward to receive a visit].
St Marco Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 Surprised to see Jaidi there, he probably put half of the people in that hospital! Seriously though, well done Saints. It makes you proud to be from here when you see/read stuff like that. Puts everything into context.
