Macey_J2 Posted 30 November, 2010 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.
benjii Posted 30 November, 2010 Posted 30 November, 2010 From memory, I'm pretty sure there was a whip-round at one of the Ugly's Polygon Hotel meetings for the perpetrator's fine!
Toomer Posted 1 December, 2010 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.
sandwichsaint Posted 1 December, 2010 Posted 1 December, 2010 Channon strikes faster than British Leyland
Ashley Grute Posted 1 December, 2010 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!
dronskisaint Posted 1 December, 2010 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 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)
Denzil Posted 1 December, 2010 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?
RedArmy Posted 1 December, 2010 Posted 1 December, 2010 I remember the one on West End Road, it was there for ages.
The Cat Posted 1 December, 2010 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?"
The Majestic Channon Posted 1 December, 2010 Posted 1 December, 2010 Channon strikes faster than British Leyland I saw that written on a banner at the 1979 league cup final, though that was boyer not channon.
Toadhall Saint Posted 1 December, 2010 Posted 1 December, 2010 Roxy Saints do! (probably one for the ahem old ones amongst us)
eelpie Posted 1 December, 2010 Posted 1 December, 2010 that was boyer not channon. Phil Boyer - now he is a forgotten legend!
Fan The Flames Posted 1 December, 2010 Posted 1 December, 2010 I like the graffiti on the sign in to Portsmouth "We eat humans".
Thedelldays Posted 1 December, 2010 Posted 1 December, 2010 I like the graffiti on the sign in to Portsmouth "We eat humans". lol where is this..?
sandwichsaint Posted 1 December, 2010 Posted 1 December, 2010 I saw that written on a banner at the 1979 league cup final, though that was boyer not channon. The original was def Channon at the 76 final (you can see it clearly if you have the video or DVD), may have been reprised for Boyer in 79?
scottzoo Posted 1 December, 2010 Posted 1 December, 2010 there was also one top of beaver valley by tibs years ago
Big John Posted 1 December, 2010 Posted 1 December, 2010 the original bevois valley version was on a site called divdev.(something) iirc, you have to be a member now to view the images but i don;t know how you join sorrry.
Paul Chuckle Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 I love the Daily Echo posters 'you are now entering gods country' Brilliant posters. Think the echo done another with just 'SOUNESS' written on it with halo above and red background
Brittanysaint Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 This may or may not be classed as graffiti. Does anyone else remember the field on the left just before Beacon Hill about 4 miles south of Newbury ? It was a fierld on the side of a hill with a perfectly done "Crop Circle" spelling out "Le Tiss for England" it was there for a couple of weeks.
hamster Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Bellemoor school field, as seen on google maps, the little tinkers.
theyin Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 still no pics come on dig them out and get them in the scanner would love to see the 'crop circle'
100%Red&White Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 Roxy Saints do! (probably one for the ahem old ones amongst us) ...The Strand and 'Hari and Al' adorning city centre subways circa 1970s.
Toadhall Saint Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 ...The Strand and 'Hari and Al' adorning city centre subways circa 1970s. Thats the ones - knew some would remember.
jam Posted 2 December, 2010 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). Edited 2 December, 2010 by jam I just like changing it
georgeg Posted 2 December, 2010 Posted 2 December, 2010 You are now entering Gods country - a huge poster was also seen coming in to the city at Millbrook - I managed to get an A4 size and now hangs proudly on the study wall! The best Echo advert EVER!!!! a quality ad for a quality player LE GOD

sticksaint Posted 4 December, 2010 Posted 4 December, 2010 The original was def Channon at the 76 final (you can see it clearly if you have the video or DVD), may have been reprised for Boyer in 79? Yes you`re right A group of Fords` workers took that banner to the 76 cup final.

NorthamSteve Posted 4 December, 2010 Posted 4 December, 2010 I remember 'Le God please for England'. Near Ocean Village.
Right sider Posted 4 December, 2010 Posted 4 December, 2010 I remember 'Le God please for England'. Near Ocean Village. How I remember it as well. Next to what is now the Chinese restaurant
Brittanysaint Posted 5 December, 2010 Posted 5 December, 2010 It was the devils punch bowl on the A272 There may well of been one at the Devils Punchbowl too.... but there certainley was one on the A34 near Newbury...I know coz I live there. You may well be correct in that it said "please hod , pick le god !!"
Deppo Posted 5 December, 2010 Posted 5 December, 2010 I did all of the pieces of graffiti that are mentioned on this thread. I also wrote 'Long Live Dubcek' on the wall by Haskins in West End. I gave up writing slogans on walls when I discovered this place
ericofarabia Posted 5 December, 2010 Posted 5 December, 2010 ...The Strand and 'Hari and Al' adorning city centre subways circa 1970s. There were also a lot of Nick and Al SFC Graffiti near The Railway Station i seem to recall.

To the posters quoted above, congrats for paying attention long enough NOT to realise you were talking about the same graffiti as the one that this thread is about. The rest of you, with the exception of theyin, thanks for the spam! I guess the answer to my question is no then!

There was feature in the Mail on Sunday about MLT that included a pic of it. Try them.
NorthamSteve Posted 5 December, 2010 Posted 5 December, 2010 Conversations sometimes end up taking different directions to where they were supposed to go, threads are similar in that respect.
Denzil Posted 6 December, 2010 Posted 6 December, 2010 To the posters quoted above, congrats for paying attention long enough NOT to realise you were talking about the same graffiti as the one that this thread is about. The rest of you, with the exception of theyin, thanks for the spam! I guess the answer to my question is no then! Maybe you should have specified it was in Ocean Village, then.
Maggie May Posted 5 February, 2018 Posted 5 February, 2018 Does anyone have an image of the graffiti by Ocean Village?

I've got a picture here of it, you can **** right off if you think you're having it after that.

hypochondriac Posted 7 February, 2018 Posted 7 February, 2018 You realise you are all replying to an 8 year old post right?
benjii Posted 7 February, 2018 Posted 7 February, 2018 You realise you are all replying to an 8 year old post right? I was replying to a post on 5 Feb, right.
