oxfordshire_saint Posted 1 January, 2011 Share Posted 1 January, 2011 When I was a lad my junior team for some reason trained at Farnborough Rugby Club. Saints were playing Farnborough in a friendly later that night and the sign for the rugby club said "Farnborough RFC". Dave Beasant drove in, saw that it was just fields and a tiny clubhouse, but still asked whether he was in the right place. My Dad politely gave him directions to the ground. Also, during our relegation season I had a rather heated debate in a Guildford nightclub with Mark Hudson (then of Crystal Palace) about how we'd stay up and they'd go down. I told him Palace were sh!te, he told me we were sh!te, turns out we were both right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deppo Posted 1 January, 2011 Share Posted 1 January, 2011 Just remembered I met Brett Ormerod in a strip club in Magaluf. I can't make further comment on a public forum, so make your own stories up, they will probably be close to the truth anyway. ;-) Did he finger your anus?

Dan Johnson Posted 1 January, 2011 Share Posted 1 January, 2011 As already mentioned on this thread, the man utd team once stayed at the crest hotel in Eastleigh, they were training on fleming park before they began watching the kids games being played that morning. I must have been about 8 or 9? Again over fleming park, we would regularly see Jimmy Case walking his dog, we'd run up to him and talk as he walked his dog, also sometimes sat on the bench and watched us play for half hour or so. Probably about 10 or 12 years ago now. Steve Nicol was best man for a family friend so spent ages taking the **** out of Liverpool, I must have been about 8 at the time so around 1990. I remember Nicol heading to the toilet completely ****ed moaning about how **** Liverpool were... he must have been saying it in jest but I was too young to understand sarcasim at the time. I remember telling all my mates for weeks how he'd said Liverpool were ****... this was the liverpool that used to win everything. Meet James Beattie a few times, nicked a slice of David Pruttons Kebab, Ken Monkou sat next to me at an away game once, Think it may have been Tottenham!? Francis Benali used to live round the corner of a family friend and used to come to the BBQs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintscottofthenortham Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 London Rd 'Subway' sounds like it's a popular haunt for the Saints players. I once met David Prutton in there after the opener of the 05/06 season. He was on his tod, we had all been to the game, was about 9/10 o'clock and we were w*nkered. We got chatting while he was being served and once his meatball marinara was ready he came and sat with us. I don't think he realised prior to sitting down quite how plastered we were so he promptly got up and made his excuses. From what he did have to say though, was a smashing bloke.

Julian H. Cope Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 I had great sex with a debatable looking lady whilst very drunk. You can imagine my surprise when I woke up with Terry Hurlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so22saint Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 Not Saints, but another one that did turn uncomfortable was when I met Bryan Robson while ****faced in Manchester. He came over to talk to our table and I thanked him for being manager of Middlesborough. He said no problem and was I a smoggie and I replied "no mate, I'm a Saints fan and if they had a decent manager we'd have gone down". Didn't go down too well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboy Posted 2 January, 2011 Share Posted 2 January, 2011 Unfortunately not me, but my mate pulled a nice bird and went back to flat in Ocean Village. In the morning, a bloke popped out of the other room, looked my mate up and down and said "just off to the football." After he left the coin dropped that it was Kevin Davies and the bird turned out to be his sister... I felt uncomfortable on his behalf. General meetings included Jason Dodd at Bitterne Leisure Centre before he was a first team regular, I was about 8 and a fickle Liverpool fan, he disaproved and a lad from my year gave him grief about Saints being sh*t (we all felt uncomfortable) Served MLT on the til in HMV Xmas 2000, he was buying some hideous cheesey music, I just pretended I didnt recognise him but as he left just asked about his knee. Scraping the barrell last year sat next to Kevin Moores cousin at a wedding meal in Essex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 3 January, 2011 Share Posted 3 January, 2011 .................these come from working at Southampton Airport back in the day... . As did I. As I have mentioned once before, and this is gospel, I worked in security and once touched matt's winkle whilst searching him. Not over-enthusiasm on my part I can assure you. Perfect gent that he is, I apologised and he just smiled. Any terrorists intending to travel through following that incident were welcome as I adjusted my search technique accordingly. colinjb, you must have met a few in the bar, no stories to tell?

dubai_phil Posted 3 January, 2011 Share Posted 3 January, 2011 London Saints end of season party after the last game at The Dell. Had a GF over here who had been converted to Saints and who fancied Paul Jones "as he had a great bum". Guzzling loads of beer with all the gang and the whole team came in, we all bounced between different players & I ended up talking with Jonesey and mention that the GF would be really embarrassed if he asked her why she fancied him, so got out the mobile, called down here and got, habla habla chuchran - the mobile you are calling is switched off. Was then left with that whole awkward what to talk about now moment and an odd look from Jonesey who clearly wondered if it was all real or me wanting to discuss his bum. So, anyway, he heads off to the barwith a bemused look, and I get a tap on the shoulder and a "Are you that crazy bloke who flew back from Dubai just for this game?" Let me buy you a beer......... and my reward for an embarrasing moment with a player was to share a beer and chat for 20 minutes with..... Yep, Rupert. Although to be fair that was back in the days when he was moving us so that it was actually interesting to hear all the "behind the scenes, getting the stadium built" stories. Didn't help my street cred with the LS guys tho, and eventually made my escape in time to get caught by Doddsy to get him a beer (as if he needed another one at that point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 3 January, 2011 Share Posted 3 January, 2011 Back in the day when bournemouth had the Hampshire centre ?, and Le Tissier was just hitting the big time. I went down to one of his shirt signings, I queued for over an hour, and after he signed my shirt, and I`d had a picture taken, I asked him what was his favorite saints kit !!!!!!!!!!!!

Robsk II Posted 3 January, 2011 Share Posted 3 January, 2011 About 6 years ago in Millbrook, I arranged for some of the Saints in the community lot to come and have a kickabout with some of the clients I worked with. This was some group of lads in Millbrook who were largely youth offenders, that sort of thing, and Franny turned up. All the lads didn't know who he was, and when they worked it out they all told him he was ****. To be fair, they were too young to remember him properly, but I thought it was cool to have him there. He was happy to have a kickabout with the boys, and I of course joined in. For some reason I, with my memories of his combative style and no nonsense tackles, felt it would be a good thing to give him some of his own medicine in a jovial sort of way, as I was on the other team. So I charged in and did tackle him hard, he ended up on his ass on some astroturf, and he looked at me as if to say "what the hell are you playing at?". Seems he didn't understand why I would do such a thing, so it was sort of awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
