paulwantsapint Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Seeing the budgie thread made me think who was the last great character to play for saints? ( don't need to have been the greatest player just a great character )
JackFrost Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Seeing the budgie thread made me think who was the last great character to play for saints? ( don't need to have been the greatest player just a great character ) Mr Ostlund?
saintkiptanui Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Murty and Wotton probably. Eh?? Papa Waigo is deffo a character.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Claus' recently behaviour is certainly "odd".
Arizona Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Eh?? Papa Waigo is deffo a character. Did I say he wasn't? :-s
doubleonothing Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Anthony Pulis Thought one of the criteria was "played for"
chrisobee Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Did I say he wasn't? :-s Lol, as you surely know a little bit dopey is kipper
funkymojo44 Posted 26 May, 2010 Posted 26 May, 2010 Our club went downhill the moment Jason Dodd left. A true captain that was never really effectively replaced possibly until Murty came along.
Scummer Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 That pic of MLT looks more like Peter Beardsley! And why is he handling the ball?!? He's going to get sent off at this rate, that's the last thing we need.
mikee Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 Of the current team definately Waigo seems to have the most character. My favourite characters of all time: Mark Dennis - the "original" psycho! Ivan Golac - hard as nails and a bit soft in the head! Special mentions for: Channon Jordan Case Osgood Beasant Burridge Adams Watson (Gordon) Dowie Ruddock Van Gobbel Ekelund & Le Tissier would also be considered to be characters but to me they were more showmen and let their football do the talking. Sure I have missed loads but memory not as good as it was. There do seem to be less characters in the game today but that is inevitable as the game has got too serious and jokers may be weeded out for having a suspect attitude. Probably one of the biggest characters in the game at the moment IMO is Jimmy Bullard but they are few and far between.
Jez Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 Are we all just naming ex Saints players? The criteria of 'character' seems to be a little loose judging by some the names mentioned on this thread. I agree with Glasgow Saint though - Freddy Adu.
martel Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 John McGrath I have to go with that, the only man in football in his time that could make "chopper harris" cry.
West End Saint Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 What about Chicken George mental like Bambi on ice
chrisobee Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 I have to go with that, the only man in football in his time that could make "chopper harris" cry. I'll never forget Big John playing for England "B" team and scoring TWO goals !! Unfortunately they were both in his own net
Toadhall Saint Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 If its the last then it has to be Frank Worthington
saintkiptanui Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 Lol, as you surely know a little bit dopey is kipper I was saying Eh?? to his two suggestions old man. Wotton is not a character.

chrisobee Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 Please show proper respect for your elders and er,... your elders, anyway. Quite right
LA77 Posted 27 May, 2010 Posted 27 May, 2010 I remember speaking to Nick Holmes, and he said John Burridge was a real nutter. He listened to the same tape on his walkman an hour before every match, and did the same routine. If I remember right, he used to have a gymnastic routine and do all sorts of flips and stuff (unless i'm the one going mad). Terry Hurlock was great too.
