Thedelldays Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 I think we all agree that Markus will be (rightly) remembered as a saints legend.... yeah yeah, the word legend gets thrown around too much..but in a short space of time...he has earnt it... for me...my saints legends list now reads... Ted Bates Lawrie Mac Matt Le Tissier (the greatest) and now..Markus Liebherr... who would he join in your legends list..?
kpturner Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 You seem to have missed a huge swathe of our glorious history when making your selections!

sambosa75 Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 lee todd was quite good.... Not a patch on Duncan Spedding...
Saint_Jonny Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 Kamil Kazowski Zoltan Liptak Thomasz Haijto All LEGENDS!!!!
Saintandy666 Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 Papa Waigo I know you are being joking, but why Waigo is obviously not a legend, I would give him Cult Hero status
scott_saints Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 Can't remember his name, but he was black and dominant.
Crab Lungs Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 Isn't this meant to be a serious thread? Maybe not legend status but Ken Monkou and Chris Marsden are two players I remember fondly growing up.
Andy_Porter Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 Isn't this meant to be a serious thread? Maybe not legend status but Ken Monkou and Chris Marsden are two players I remember fondly growing up. Jason Dodd, Maraian Pahars and Franny Benali for me. Mainly Benali for me, he really represented everything that was so good about Southampton at the time, shame we didn't managed to replace the Benali and Dodd's with equally with people who cared as much.
Thedelldays Posted 13 August, 2010 Author Posted 13 August, 2010 im sure monkou had small hands...it looked like it when he waved to the milton end.. small hands means...................................
RonManager Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 small hands means................................... They are far away?
gonzo Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 Can't remember his name, but he was black and dominant. I reckon you're thinking of Ulrich Van Gobbel - he was a monster. How about Peter Whiston and Andrei Kanchelskis?
Crab Lungs Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 Jason Dodd, Maraian Pahars and Franny Benali for me. Mainly Benali for me, he really represented everything that was so good about Southampton at the time, shame we didn't managed to replace the Benali and Dodd's with equally with people who cared as much. I agree about Benali - not one of the most gifted (that said, I never thought he was *THAT* bad!) but whenever a relegation scrap came about, you could rely on the llikes of him, Dodd etc - every single time.
SNSUN Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 (edited) Not a patch on Duncan Spedding... You jest, but I got bored of one of the old CM's once, and decided to spruce up his stats with the editor. He went on to become the best right back in the world, and quite possible the greatest footballer ever to have graced the game. :-) In that he won us our only major piece of silverware, I would class Bobby Stokes as a local legend. But the OP is right, it is a term that gets banded around too much. In 100 years time, when people read through Saints history, the name Rupert Lowe will probably feature more than any others...

Victor Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 Isn't this meant to be a serious thread? Maybe not legend status but Ken Monkou and Chris Marsden are two players I remember fondly growing up. I don't think Chris Marsden ever did grow up. Rudi Skacel.
whizzpop Posted 13 August, 2010 Posted 13 August, 2010 On a serious note legends for me Niemi, M Svenson Dodd Benali Le Tiss Beattie Pahars Marsden
SaintBobby Posted 14 August, 2010 Posted 14 August, 2010 The "legend" tag is getting devalued IMHO. It's almost as if a player of the season award is enough now. Ive been supporting Saints since 1980 and would say its only really MLT who gets legend status. Lots of other great players and lots of characters Ive loved, and historically, I'd say Bates, Paine and Channon qualify too. So they named the suites at SMS about right. Bobby Stokes obviously has a huge importance in our history, but not really legend status despite the 76 win.
Arizona Posted 14 August, 2010 Posted 14 August, 2010 On a serious note legends for me Niemi, M Svenson Dodd Benali Le Tiss Beattie Pahars Marsden I wouldn't have Niemi or Killer in there. They were both pretty good, but neither was really at the club that long and there weren't too many special moments. Niemi had his triple save against Arsenal, but neither really came close to the likes of Le Tiss or Pahars when it comes to special moments. For me Pahars, Benali, Le Tiss and Beattie are the only 'legends since about 1990.
benjii Posted 14 August, 2010 Posted 14 August, 2010 Legends since I started going to matches (89/90) are LeTiss and Liebherr. That's it. Nearly legends are Dodd and Franny. That's it.
Robsk II Posted 14 August, 2010 Posted 14 August, 2010 Agreed, pretty much. Franny deserves a mention, and Dodd, and I think both would be on the bench, as it were. Pahars might squeeze in there in a funy kind of way, too.
Thedelldays Posted 14 August, 2010 Author Posted 14 August, 2010 David Speedie. for slapping that fan...yes f'ure
Huffton Posted 14 August, 2010 Posted 14 August, 2010 The other russian who was here at eh same time as Gotsmanov. The one who's name no one can remember.
Thedelldays Posted 14 August, 2010 Author Posted 14 August, 2010 The other russian who was here at eh same time as Gotsmanov. The one who's name no one can remember. cherednik..?
CB Fry Posted 14 August, 2010 Posted 14 August, 2010 The other russian who was here at eh same time as Gotsmanov. The one who's name no one can remember. Harsh. Cherednik was the 'main' signing, gotsmanov was the makeweight brought along to keep company. The kleber chala if you will. All three of them are all time saints legends.
70's Mike Posted 14 August, 2010 Posted 14 August, 2010 watching for last 49 years and only 4 for me Ted Bates Terry Paine Mick Channon Matt Le Tissier
RonManager Posted 14 August, 2010 Posted 14 August, 2010 (edited) watching for last 49 years and only 4 for me Ted Bates Terry Paine Mick Channon Matt Le Tissier 43 years and same for me. EDIT - + Lawrie of course! I feel that Markus falls into a category all of his own really - Saviour. Edited 14 August, 2010 by RonManager
WestSaint Posted 14 August, 2010 Posted 14 August, 2010 (edited) watching for last 49 years and only 4 for me Ted Bates Terry Paine Mick Channon Matt Le Tissier Would you not add Lawrie to that list? His achievements in 1976 and second in the First division + ability to bring in great players keegan etc were exceptional Edited 14 August, 2010 by WestSaint spelling
