Macey_J2 Posted 30 November, 2010 Share Posted 30 November, 2010 I'm sure many of us remember this on a building near what is now the wetherspoons in canute road in the 90's. I thought it was an iconic image of 1990's Southampton and was sad to see it go when the site was redeveloped. Question is, does anyone have a photo of the graffiti? I've tried google to no avail. I'd really like a copy if anyone has one in an old photo album tucked away somewhere. Cheers. I thought this was Saints related enough for this forum, but if mods disagree, feel free to move.

Toomer Posted 1 December, 2010 Share Posted 1 December, 2010 There was one many years ago on a poster out side The Above Bar Church, the poster said Jesus Saves and someone put underneath but Keegan scores on the rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Grute Posted 1 December, 2010 Share Posted 1 December, 2010 My brother and his mate went to the old Wembley to watch an England game under Venables, when Matty was at his peak, but not selected. He had a massive bed sheet and written on it was " Where's Tiss Tel you tosser?!" Was shown on TV-hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronskisaint Posted 1 December, 2010 Share Posted 1 December, 2010 I loved the 'You are entering god's country' with the 'Saint' halo logo on the M3 sign that was there for years. Distantly related - we have a village near here called Walcott that someone added 'Poor Theo' to around the World Cup time..it's still there as far as I know.

JackanorySFC Posted 1 December, 2010 Share Posted 1 December, 2010 There was "Le God for England NOW!" on the bridge in Bitterne that leads to West End in massive red and blue letters. Also, "God bless the Valley slags" near Oxford Street with some pro Le Tiss stuff (sort of gave away the perpitraitors that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denzil Posted 1 December, 2010 Share Posted 1 December, 2010 There was "Le God for England NOW!" on the bridge in Bitterne that leads to West End in massive red and blue letters. Also, "God bless the Valley slags" near Oxford Street with some pro Le Tiss stuff (sort of gave away the perpitraitors that) There was a massive 'LE GOD FOR ENGLAND NOW' graffiti down Ocean Village, can't quite remember exactly what building it was on. There was also a picnic bench down Eight Acres in Romsey painted completely red and white, with Le God graffiti on circa 1994. SRS and Steve Grant may also remember this?

The Cat Posted 1 December, 2010 Share Posted 1 December, 2010 I remember there being one in St Mary's, opposite the Dorch when those flats were being built. Incidentally right by the place where, after being propositioned by a prostitute, my mate turned round and asked me "why did that woman just ask me if I wanted some biscuits?"

Brittanysaint Posted 2 December, 2010 Share Posted 2 December, 2010 This may or may not be classed as graffiti.

jam Posted 2 December, 2010 Share Posted 2 December, 2010 (edited) didnt it say "Please Hod Pick Le God"? That was a sign at the England B game (just prior to France 98 ) when Tiss scored thrice and hit the woodwork twice leading Hoddle to conclude that he wasn't worth including him in the World Cup Squad (in the process actually managing to make Chris Sutton look clever).

Redondo Saint Posted 5 December, 2010 Share Posted 5 December, 2010 I'm sure many of us remember this on a building near what is now the wetherspoons in canute road in the 90's.
