a1ex2001 Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Sarmiento looked good in a terrible team performance against Notts County in the league cup, calm and composed on the ball with a good touch and decent distribution certainly couldn't see any reason for him not to get at least a go in the first team. Then we lost and their numpty fans invaded the pitch like they had just won the champions league and the rest is history.
The9 Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 . NC has done some things I don't agree with but he's 100,000 times better than Askham, Lowe, Wilde and the other idiots from that period put together. In the interests of balance, what about in comparison to Lowe between (say) 2000-2004 ? New ground, top half Prem finishes, attracted a former England manager, FA Cup Final and UEFA Cup appearance. I'm all for slating the guy for his shortsighted signings in 2004, Strachan's rolling contract, the half-baked attempt at avoiding Admin, the unnecessary -10 and nearly sending the club to the wall, but he was quite decent there for a while... And we'd still have been decent enough to stay up in 2005 if Killer had been fit...
Paul Chuckle Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 I remember we beat Newcastle to his signature, at the time that was a big thing to me. He wasn't really ever given many games....
SuperSAINT Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Anyone remember when we were linked with Bjorn Johansen but he never moved because his wife would have to stop practising as a lawyer and would lose significant income? Shame, he looked against Chelsea for Tromso in the CWC I remember that, indeed! - They were part timers too, wern't they? he was good on Championship manager 97/98 +1
Deano6 Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 I expected him to be big (Scandanavian!) but he was very small ! I own Stig Johansen's shirt that he wore in the 1997-98 season. It's a large. I won it after being circled in the Echo after the last home game. They gave out the first team shirts to people randomly photgraphed across the stadium and then the 5 subs shirts to 5 faces circled in the Junior Saints section. I was one off getting Kevin Davies' - this being the year he was awesome for us - who was also sub that game. He was brought in off the back of Egil Østenstad having a great year for us the previous season and started one of the early games up at Old Trafford. He struggled to break into the first team thereafter but showed his class ending up the top scorer in the reserves that year!

TijuanaTim Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Also a horrible decision not to give him the 10 shirt....marketing potential of a Saints shirt with 10 + Pele, HELLO
Michelle Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Seeing as we seem to be having a little session of posting threads on random players, I thought I'd throw this one in. Only thought of him as I had a customer post a card to him in Poland this week!
Lighthouse Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 He was alright when he wasn't injured. Remember him looking by far the most interesting player in a 0-0 bore draw with Plimuff. Was in the Poland squad for the world cup the summer after he left us.
The9 Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Also a horrible decision not to give him the 10 shirt....marketing potential of a Saints shirt with 10 + Pele, HELLO I was fuming about that at the time. I'm over it now.
JackFrost Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 played Champions League football only last year for APOEL Nicosia
SuperSAINT Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Watched him play for Poland just after he'd signed for us - Looked fantastic. Great dribbling, 2 footed, and scored a great goal - He just didn't do it for us.
whizzpop Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 then you obviously haven't seen some of the atrocious players that we've had over the years. Well yes I have..hence my nomination for these two jokers (Robertson and Peckhart) albeit 1 good goal from Robertson. Their class was no higher than League 2 standard
John Boy Saint Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Was he the one who looked like a Scarecrow, and had the blind misguided decision to play in Gold boots at Old Trafford in our relegation season.
Stu Man Do Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Was he the one who looked like a Scarecrow, and had the blind misguided decision to play in Gold boots at Old Trafford in our relegation season. I think he only played for us once we'd been relegated. I'm sure he scored a belter against Hull at home? On another note Where is Peter (?) Madsen?
SaintNeil90 Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 I'm jumping on the bandwagon. I think he would be a great partner for Fonte now to be honest. Loved the header and free kick he scored away to Watford the season we got relegated from the Champ.
saintrich Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 I think he only played for us once we'd been relegated. I'm sure he scored a belter against Hull at home? That was Oakley. Kosowski did score in the away game at Hull though!
Big John Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Love Kamil Kosovski. Had his picture on my office wall at one time.
kpturner Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Love Kamil Kosovski. Had his picture on my office wall at one time. .....and your user name gives the impression that you are a bloke!
Bailey Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 He made a positive impact on the side when he joined. He was at best a lower-league Championship defender, but he stood out in what was a poor Saints team that deservedly got relegated. And what a goal he scored at Watford! To those that can't remember, enjoy . . .
SparkySaint Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 I'm jumping on the bandwagon. I think he would be a great partner for Fonte now to be honest. Loved the header and free kick he scored away to Watford the season we got relegated from the Champ. That was a great day. Great support
Big John Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 .....and your user name gives the impression that you are a bloke! OMG I never realised that. lol
Saint_Jonny Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Deffo in my top 5 "I was there" goals is the JPS free kick at Watford. It was epic, mostly because it was a last minute type deal and I was smashed. Loved it.
Saint_Jonny Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 That was a great day. Great support Yep spot on, the whole away end was ROCKING for the whole game, fantastic.
Lighthouse Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 Size was great, I wish we'd kept him. Think he even told the Dutch media he would have loved to sign for us. When you consider we started last season with Perry, Lancs and Thomas before Jaidi and Trotman joined, I think we'd have been much better set at the back. Anyone who went to the last game in the CCC at Forest would have seen the difference he made to our side. He went off injured with 15 minutes left at 1-1. Before you knew it, we were losing 3-1.
once_bitterne Posted 10 February, 2011 Posted 10 February, 2011 He's on twitter. Seems to be a Villa fan, guess he is from those parts and bizarrely he is following Portsmouth Football club!! http://www.twitter.com/jamiewhite1
Winchester_Saint Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 Really liked this guy, good player and good attitude and made it clear that he really wanted to stay at Saints! Shame Pards never followed it up
Saint Fan CaM Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 He's on twitter. Seems to be a Villa fan, guess he is from those parts and bizarrely he is following Portsmouth Football club!! http://www.twitter.com/jamiewhite1 Never liked the lad.
niceandfriendly Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 OMG I never realised that. lol Oh, sorry. I just assumed you were a homosexual.
chrisobee Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 I think he only played for us once we'd been relegated. I'm sure he scored a belter against Hull at home? On another note Where is Peter (?) Madsen? He is at Brondby, still not scoring many goals I believe:D
skintsaint Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 cracking save...good to see typical Saints defending for their first.
Deanovski Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 spoke about him on tuesday would love him and fonte at the back.
maxi_sopez Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 i will always remember that free kick at watford went mental
surrey1saint Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 He was a good player.I would welcome him back.
St_Tel49 Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 .....and your user name gives the impression that you are a bloke! No - it just implies that s/he has a sizeable bathroom
ribbo Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 words cannot describe how much i thought this guy rocked when he was with us
Charlie Wayman Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 another pointless thread Even worse, pointless and obscure. The guy's probably about 100 years old now.
Saint_Jonny Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 I liked Tomas Hajto No way man, he was dog poo awful!
saint1977 Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 In the interests of balance, what about in comparison to Lowe between (say) 2000-2004 ?

And we'd still have been decent enough to stay up in 2005 if Killer had been fit... Oh I agree from 1997-2003 with that, Lowe did a good job and offered far more than what had gone before. Secure Retirement at least cleared the £3m or so overdraft Askham had created. Guy Askham was the true villian for me - seemingly put next nothing in bar being Lawrie's message boy to sign Keegan yet created a deadlocked ownership that only administration undid. I wouldn't be surprised if the residue bitterness of that deadlock is partially behind the "dark forces" NC referred to. Killer is one of my all time favourite Saints players and of course Marion was injured long-term too but we were so bad in 2004/5 and the club was in such turmoil politically I'm not sure even Killer could have kept us up unless we'd recruited a proper manager in place of Sturrock and Wigley at the start of the season.
Winchester_Saint Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 Even worse, pointless and obscure. The guy's probably about 100 years old now. 32 years old. However he now plays for a club in Holland who actually want him so very unlikely we will ever see or hear of him again!
wild-saint Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 Even worse, pointless and obscure. The guy's probably about 100 years old now. and there seems to be another 6 or 7 threads dedicated to shyte players that never really did much for saints in thier limited time here. Could we not just have one thread (that we can avoid) and maybe title it .. Shyte players that used to play for saints briefly
