philelec Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Early 1950's Eric Day on the right wing received a ball over his left shoulder from behind and brought it down on his right instep, fantastic skill. Christie, Wilkins,Traynor, McLaughlin, Parker, Elliott, Flood, Reeves, Day, Mulgrew, Hoskins. Kiernan, Page, McGowan, Walker played in that era. Tony Godrey was the youth team goalkeeper v Man Utd I'm not certain but I think Brian Flood also played in that team in goal. Bob Charles first played for Saintsfirst team as an 18 year old in 1959/60 the promotion year. Boy, those were the days! I can go back to World War 2 when there were guest players playing at the Dell, I saw Stanley Matthews (my hero at the time) playing there, memory doesn't permit me to remember much else, but I do rememeber being very upset when a bomb left a huge crater in the pitch. It didn't take too long for it to be filled in to allow football to be played again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THINWHITEDUKE Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 V Aston Villa first season in Div 1, Sept 1966/67 season, stood at the front wall of the Archers rd terrace, we won 6-2, I seem to remember big Ron scoring 4 and Chivers 2? Absolutely hooked from there on in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 my earliest memory of watching the Saints was aged about 8. No idea who we were playing (obviously) but me and my dad were on the terraces in the wilton end, which became our usual spot. My dad wasnt a well man, and I remember some bloke next to me hoisting me up onto his shoulders so I could see the game, sat there through the entire game. Saints fans = legends, he even went with me and my dad to get a half time cup of bovril.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroppie Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 (edited) Losing 5-1 at home to Leicester in 1967 when Peter Shilton scored his only goal - direct from a clearance helped by a strong wing and an unexpected bounce on a soggy pitch!
