Give it to Ron Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 2 quick ones. What was the name of the trialist whose sister plays tennis? What was the song belted out several times at Anderlecht away in 77?
ottery st mary Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Possibly Scottish full back Baltacha or similar name.....brother of female tennis player..
Miffy Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 What was the song belted out several times at Anderlecht away in 77? When I need you - Leo Sayer?:rock:
chrisobee Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Not as easy as you might think. I've been wracking my brains and am still short of quite a few.. Forwards: J Jordan, Paterson Midfield: Mcann, Quashie, McCalliog Defence: err... Telfer Keeper: Martin Perhaps somebody else might fill in the blanks for me. No, it wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be though being able from memory to go back 40+ years helped ! The team I came up with was : Martin ( though could have had Campbell Forsyth or Dave McClaren, an easy position to fill) Telfer Steele Gabriel Burns ( Francis) Fisher McCalliog O'Brien( Gerry) Quashie Speedie Jordan Couldn't actually remember if Ted MacDougall was Scottish or not, as he is I'd have him in way ahead of Speedie who was poor for us.
chrisobee Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Was Ken Armstrong Scottish? From memory I would have said he was Scottish but though he grew up there he was actually born in Shropshire.
chrisobee Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Unable to get a reasonable Irish or Welsh team I thought But maybe a Scandinavian one would be good Mick Earls was Irish, a defender from the mid 70's but I'm struggling to think of any other Irish/Welsh players who haven't been mentioned. Has Jeff Kenna been mentioned? I'm thinking a Scandanavian team would be easier so... Niemi Ostlund Svennson (M) Lundekvam Jakobsson Svennson (A) Tessem Nilsson Soltvedt Ostenstad Ekelund It was actually harder than I thought, the only other one I came up with was another striker in Stig Johansen.

hackedoff Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Can anyone answer my question from yesterday. Who were known by their team-mates as " Rocket " and " Greyhound " ? Late 70,s - early 80,s.
Lets B Avenue Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 24 hours and still not answered. Where did Saints do their pre-season training from 67-73? McMenemy changed it after he became Manager. It was also the home ground for the Southampton A side that played in the Hampshire League in the 60's, 70's and 80's.

RonManager Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 (edited) Totton? Warmer. Netley? Eastleigh? Romsey? Winchester? Edited 26 May, 2010 by RonManager
Lets B Avenue Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Sorry Ron. Been catching up on the "Skate thread". I asked for the ground not the suberb. Remember I said you were warm.
chrisobee Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Sorry Ron. Been catching up on the "Skate thread". I asked for the ground not the suberb. Remember I said you were warm. Stoneham Lane :smt102
Lets B Avenue Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Yes. the BTC Ground. I thought the Saints A reference would have given it away. I saw Channon, Stokes, Holmes, Mills, Williams, Moran and various Wallaces' get their start there. Danny Wallace made his debut at Old Stretford the week after he had run rings round some squarehead right-back of Pompey R.N. when they announced the team changes at O.T. we all looked at each other and went :smt102. when the team ran out I said " He's 16 and was only here to carry the kit bag." rather giving away the fact that we were Saints fans in the United Rd paddock. :smt021
teamsaint Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Sorry Ron. Been catching up on the "Skate thread". I asked for the ground not the suberb. Remember I said you were warm. BTC

Anyway I'm claiming that one Question soon.....
chrisobee Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Whilst Chris Nicholl was Saints manager what club did he regularly attend on a Tuesday night when there were no Saints commitments.

chrisobee Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 Concorde. Didn't see him last night though. Completely on the wrong track.
chrisobee Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 You said club. Yes, it is/was a club ! But not a night club, pub or anything similar !
Lets B Avenue Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 Highfield Tennis Club. He was a very good player
chrisobee Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 Highfield Tennis Club. He was a very good player Getting closer, more of a game than a sport though. If you want to cheat check my profile
teamsaint Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 Well done. I think (looking suspiciously at the post time.) NEXT!! In more innocent times, my grandfather would go round the BTC ground in the morning picking mushroooms, and later on I would go round to watch the saints training. Never even asked, just went and watched. Happy days !!

Notty1981 Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 sorry, answer to question on page 1!!!! Shouldve seen there were 7 PAGES!!!!!!
Gorgiesaint Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 2 quick ones. What was the name of the trialist whose sister plays tennis? What was the song belted out several times at Anderlecht away in 77? The trialist was, I believe, the brother of Caroline Wozniacki, the Danish tennis player - can't remember his first name though.

chrisobee Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 (edited) Chess club. Indeed, he was a very keen if not very good chess player, I played him a few times. Very nice guy.Of course I note you DID check my profile Edited 27 May, 2010 by chrisobee
chrisobee Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 How about a chinese team and a team full of midgets/dwarfs/elfs The team of midgets is shaping up nicely, I think a chinese team might take a bit longer !

Ponty Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 Which former Portsmouth youth player left us for Stoke in 1985?
chrisobee Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 The only player who springs to mind is Ian Baird but he didn't join Stoke ! Signed for Leeds in '85. Is this someone really obscure !?
