Help needed

[Fitzhugh Fella]

to think up a title of our new book which is a profile of every player who pulled on a red and white shirt 1885-2011 in a Ist team fixture.

 

In That Number was lifted from the "Oh when the Saints" song so I went to have a look at other verses. The song opens with

"We are travelling in their footsteps

Of those who've gone before

But we'll all be reunited

On a new and distant shore"

 

So I came up with "Travelling in their footsteps - a Complete Who's Who of Southampton FC"

 

But David Bull, the Editor is not convinced. I really can't come up with anything punchy and relevant - so can anyone else think of something?

 

Someone else came up with "From Sashes to Stripes..and back again" but it doesn't really relate to individual players and their biographies.

 

So open to suggestions.

 

PS Later in the song there is a line

 

"When the moon turns red with blood" which I quite liked!

[benjii]

How about, "In That Number Volume Two"?

 

[Pancake]

"Canonised"

[Amesbury Saint]

Saints and Sinners - a Complete Who's Who of Southampton FC

[lordswoodsaints]

'a profile of every player who pulled on a red and white shirt 1885-2011 in a Ist team fixture'

Or

Red army

[Pancake]

"The Saints Are Coming"

[Pancake]

"All Saints" or "All Hallows"

[NickG]

personally prefer the less subtle and more "it does what it says on the tin" type titles - and think will attract more hits!

[ladysaint]

what about Halo, halo we are Southampton Boys.

[Pancake]

"Those Gone Before"?

 

Thats me done.

[Bolokov]

Those who've gone before????

[Minsk]

How about something like:

 

'They Were All Saints - A Complete Who's Who of Sounthampton FC's First Team Players (1885-2011)'

 

OR

 

'They Marched In - A Complete Who's Who of Sounthampton FC's First Team Players (1885-2011)'

 

OR

 

'They Came Marching In - A Complete Who's Who of Sounthampton FC's First Team Players (1885-2011)'

 

OR

 

'They Came Marching On - A Complete Who's Who of Sounthampton FC's First Team Players (1885-2011)'

 

OR

 

'The Saints of the Last 125 Years - A Complete Who's Who of Sounthampton FC's First Team Players (1885-2011)'

 

Whatever you go with, IMO, you should state it is about the players and not everyone connected with SFC (unless you are including all managers, chairmen, etc?)

Red & White, Blue & Gold

[Under Weststand]

Could your title not be within your own question, "Oh when the ( or "a") Saint(s) " perhaps with the qualification complete history of Saints 1885 - 2011,," ?

[Badger]

Red & White, Blue & Gold

 

..and previously amber and black..

 

and on occasion radical blue flame effect

Good shout.

This.

[rpb]

'All Saints"

[trousers]

"Has Skacel Signed Yet?"

[Dr Who?]

Of those who've gone before

 

This line seems to fit perfect for what the book is about!!

[hypochondriac]

Those who've gone before sounds good to me.

[benjii]

That's a bit dramatic IMO.

 

How about "Alehouse Brawlers"?

[ottery st mary]

Everyone a SAINT

and loved by many.

 

 

Our own real SAINTS through the years.

 

Everyone a true SAINT.

 

 

Nothing like a true SAINT

There's some good ones here ta

[Big Ron fan]

[thorpie the sinner]

1) The Saintly way

 

2) Standing on the shoulders of giants: Saints legends past and present

 

3)Touched by greatness: Fans favourites throughout the years

[beatlesaint]

How about - "Once a Saint......The Complete Who's Who of Southampton F.C."

[benjii]

I think what some need to realise is that this is a comprehensive round-up of all Saints players. There will be an almighty amount of utter turd being described.

[Liquidshokk]

Saints Gone By

Saints That Were

Southamptons' Saints

WikiSaints

[SO16_Saint]

Latter day Saint

[Saints67]

"In That Shirt"

[thorpie the sinner]

All Saints Day: Legends who have shaped the history of Southampton fc

[SO16_Saint]

should we be putting " © " next to our titles......

[beatlesaint]

should we be putting " © " next to our titles......

 

If our title is picked do we get a free copy of the book ?

 

Alternatively to my earlier suggestion - "In Saints We Trust"

[thorpie the sinner]

Stars and Stripes: Saints legends past and present

[beatlesaint]

All Saints Day: Legends who have shaped the history of Southampton fc

 

Or screwed up the history of Southampton FC !!!

[thorpie the sinner]

Assuming its based on competitive matches only I don't think Messrs Pulis & Forecast will feature.

[thorpie the sinner]

Saints alive!

[Graffito]

"It's All Southampton", as the song goes. Or the second line "All Southampton FC".

[Liquidshokk]

Stars and Stripes: Saints legends past and present

 

Stars IN Stripes would work better imo

[Alain Perrin]

Some suggestions :

 

"Not fit to wear the shirt - why one fan's hero is another fan's failure."

"A brief history of absolutely everyone (who played for Southampton)"

"Name in Lights - players who have shone and faded at Southampton FC"

"My c*ock is huge" - got to get it in somewhere.

"From Albania to Zimbabwe - the players who shaped Southampton

"From Ali Dia to [some player beginning with Z??] - the players who have shaped Southampton."

"From A to Le Tis - players who have graced and shamed the colours of Southampton"

Indeed plenty of one hit wonders but not sure I am man enough to describe them as turds.
