SaintDave Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Very sad news and my condolences to his friends and family. Thank you for what you did saving our club and giving us back our pride. A Saint in heaven RIP Markus.
martel Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 A very sad day, especially for his family, I believe he was only in his early sixties so it must be a massive shock for them, R.I.P. Marcus.
Fergie Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 +1 ... absolutely. The Markus Liebherr Stadum. Someone start a sticky about this. I reckon a vote would be 100% on this Forum surely? For sure this has to happen. Someone who has links to Cortese should make him aware of this, start a poll and show the results to him...i am sure it would be 100% in favour of this. Great idea.
jim_bergerac Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 +1 ... absolutely. 100% behind that also. Forever in your debt RIP.
martel Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 RIP what the f*ck happens now Nothing yet, that will be down to the man's will, family and lawyers.
do i not like fizzy pop Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Almost speechless. Condolences to all his family and friends. RIP Markus Liebherr. And thank you.
WinchesterSaint Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 You saved my club when it was on it's knees and for that I will always be eternally grateful. RIP big man.
gaz Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Can't believe it. RIP Markus, and thankyou for everything you've done for our club.
SNSUN Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 This has come as a bolt out of the blue. Just yesterday I thought how unfortunate and sad it must be for Exeter City to lose a striker - to lose your chairman and source of funding is completely shocking. I have nothing bad to say about him - he came in, saved us, made us financially secure, and enjoyed seeing us win the JPT final. What a year. RIP Markus, may you always watch us from heaven with a glowing smile on your face and with your little camera taking pictures. Thanks to Pancake for the Facebook status - I wouldn't have see this news without it!
SanFranciscoSaint Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 I am stunned and deeply saddened to hear of his passing. There would be no Southampton Football Club without Marcus, and for that he will always be remembered with great affection. Naming a stand after him would be only fitting, and would be a permanent reminder to future fans of the man who saved Saints.
DANISH Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Thank you for everything, Markus. R.I.P and condolences to the Liebherr family
saint J Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 RIP Markus, GOD BLESS YOU all you have achieved.
Badvoc Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Sincere condolences to the Liebherr family for their loss of a great man; 62 is way too young to pass away. All I can say is many thanks for saving Saints and I truly hope your time with us gave you as much happiness as it did us. May you rest in peace sir.
Kenilworth_Saint Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Thank you for saving my club and putting a smile back on all of our faces. RIP Markus.
surrey1saint Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 RIP Markus.You will never be forgotten. Thank you for saving us in our time of need.

Master Bates Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Been too scared to come on here, absolutely gutted. I am eternally grateful for you saving our club. such a shame we didn't get longer to spend with you. Love you so much for what you've done for us. Thank you so much. Goodnight sweet Prince.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Forever a saint. You'll be remembered for generations to come. RIP
Golden Balls Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 RIP Markus. Thank you so much for everything you've done. Amazing that in just over one year, someone can be held in such high regard to match that of Ted.
St Landrew Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Will be remembered as the man who saved Southampton Football Club. Without his intervention there would simply have been nothing left. As such he occupies a very special place. With his helping hand and might, Saints have regained their pride, if not their position, yet. That will undoubtedly follow, because anything Markus was involved in was successful. He saw something in Saints which pleased him immensely, and it's upto the club and supporters to live out the dream he had. His younger friend and compatriot, Nicola Cortese will be feeling very low, as we all are. I spare a thought for him and hope he has the appetite to continue the work, that Markus had so much faith in. Here's also hoping that, in the forthcoming seasons, Saints can provide him with the true memorial that befits his stature among Saints fans.
Lord Turnip Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Very sad to hear the news of the death of Marcus Liebherr and thanks to him from all Saints fans for saving the club from extinction. I will never forget seeing him at Wembley at the Johnstones Paint Trophy final with a big smile on his face taking pictures of the event. Condolences to his family and heartfelt gratitude for the short time he was involved with the Saints. A true Saint, RIP Herr Liebherr.
fatpix2003 Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 At least he got to see us win something at wembley, R.I.P Marcus Liebherr, thank you for saving our club, heart felt wishes to the family at this terrible time COYR
saints_is_the_south Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 In complete and utter shcok, speechless since I heard the news. R.I.P Markus, without a shadow of a doubt the most important man in Southampton FC's history.
Stattmeister Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Oh my... Rest in Peace St.Markus, from one of the many in your extended Saints family - a true Southampton legend. My thoughts are with his family now.
MR_E Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Absolutely stunned. R.I.P. Markus. You will always be remembered as the saviour of Southampton Football club. A real shame you couldn't be here to finish what you started, but we will get there thanks to you.
Meathead Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 RIP Markus, and condolences to your family. You will be part of Saints history forever. A real credit to the club and won't be forgotten for what you did for us, Thanks.
Chap in the Chapel Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Every single win, every single goal, every single point gained this, next and every season from now on is for Markus Liebherr, as without him we quite literally would have no Southampton Football Club. From now on, LET'S DO IT FOR MARKUS. RIP to the man who saved the Saints.
Perennial Underachiever Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Stunning and shocking news, and totally unexpected. 62 is no age. RIP Markus and thank you for saving the Saints. Let's win League 1 for the great man.
Saint_lambden Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Gutted and Shocked. Thanks Markus , and R.I.P

hypochondriac Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 (edited) Football died today. If you are serious, don't be an idiot. If you were joking don't be an idiot. Alpine is a bender... Edited 10 August, 2012 by hypochondriac
funkymojo44 Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 absolutely gutted. What he did for this club is just beyond words, it's so sad it was for such a short time and we couldn't enjoy the journey with him back to the Premiership. My condolences to his family and friends. I would fully back renaming the stadium in his name, without him i don't think we would exist.
Ashby Saint Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 You saved my football club. Thank you! RIP Markus and the condolences of my family to yours.
geoffnut Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 R.I.P Markus. Thinking of his family at this sad time.
Gator Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Really, truly and sincerely grateful for Marcus taking the time in his short life to spend his time on us. The significance of his contribution to the life of a saints fan can only be comparable to Ted! Hopefully as a fan base we can honor his legacy with unity!!! Please let's move forward together!
SaintsAddict Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Rest in peace Saint Markus. We are forever grateful to you.

Ampersound Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 RIP Markus. Thanks for saving us from oblivion.
Lazlo78 Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 R.I.P. Markus and condolences to his family and dear ones. In the short, sweet and passionate relationship between Liebherr and SFC, winning the JPT final was sweeter than winning the world cup could have been for any team... Time for mourning and afterwards we unite and move on as one...
