supersonic Posted 6 June, 2011 Posted 6 June, 2011 On a serious note, I think I read somewhere that for the past 5 premier league seasons, the first goal of the season has been score by the home side. Interesting if true...

Pilchards Posted 6 June, 2011 Posted 6 June, 2011 I was the last person to get knockout at the dell after I jumped from the top tier in the west stand to the area the players came out, it was not so much the landing but for the 3 cans of coke that I had in my carrier bag which landed on my head. FACT

Wes Tender Posted 6 June, 2011 Posted 6 June, 2011 We don't have "rumors" in this country; they are what the Yanks have, along with valor, honor, labor, etc. The Yanks are very non-U But in line with the thread, the first team in English league football to consist entirely of non-English players, was Chelski, playing at the Dell. They were welcomed by that lovable scamp Dennis Rofe, who said hello to them in all of their various languages.

SNSUN Posted 6 June, 2011 Posted 6 June, 2011 Every St Mary's seat can hold a person of up to 27 stone. The only chair related fan fatality came in the 2009-2010 JPT match against Norwich, when a 38 year old man developed deep vein thrombosis. The origins of Rickie's surname date back to Tudor times, when Dorothy of Maidenhead asked her husband "would you like some Lamb, Bert?" The original Ted Bates statue was voted #2 in Time Magazine's "funniest thing of all time" poll. It was just pipped to the title by Portsmouth FC's claim of signing Riquelme.

hughieslastminutegoal Posted 8 June, 2011 Posted 8 June, 2011 Steve Moran's mother was my old school teacher. Who is your new school teacher?
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 8 June, 2011 Posted 8 June, 2011 Saints are joint record holder of the most players in a starting 11. I'm sure no one argued with the Pablo Escobar Columbian Jungle 11 when they started with 25. The pitch's white lines were also something else.
Dimond Geezer Posted 8 June, 2011 Posted 8 June, 2011 Used to know a girl who went out with Steve Williams, about 1978 ish. She got me a signed photo of all the squad, still got it.
Dimond Geezer Posted 8 June, 2011 Posted 8 June, 2011 Steve Moran (it may have been Williams) lived in digs in Harcourt Rd, a mate & I went around on a Friday night and they were out.
Dimond Geezer Posted 8 June, 2011 Posted 8 June, 2011 My mates Dad was a cabbie and was sent by the club to collect Frank Worthington who hadn't turned up for training. FW answered the door in a silk dressing gown with the obligatory dragon on the back. He left the house in said dressing gown & slippers, stopping only to pick up his kit & light a fag.

He had probably borrowed the dressing gown from an Air Hostess.
SNSUN Posted 8 June, 2011 Posted 8 June, 2011 Jose Fonte's name is unpronouncable. The same applies to Andrei Kanchelskis, but only when in an inebriated state. The Wallace trio actually had a younger brother called Derek. They locked him in a loft due to his lack of footballing ability and he hasn't been seen since. (The same also happened to Ray, but he escaped.) Francis Benali was voted England's sexiest moustache wearer by the readers of Take A Break magazine, just four days before he shaved it off. The corner flags at SMS are made of Marzipan.

The9 Posted 8 June, 2011 Posted 8 June, 2011 The best player to ever play at St Mary's Stadium is me. I beg to differ.
The9 Posted 8 June, 2011 Posted 8 June, 2011 Kleber Chala has won the Copa Libertadores. Djamel Belmadi lives in an igloo. John Arne Riise has scored as many goals for Saints as Patrick Colleter. Jhon Viafara has an underwear sponsorship deal with Prada. Torpedo Moscow are named after Federico Arias.

chocco boxo Posted 8 June, 2011 Posted 8 June, 2011 We have triangular corner flags as we have won the FA Cup. Lee Todd was Bob Todd son. Benny Hill only went to The Dell once.
SNSUN Posted 8 June, 2011 Posted 8 June, 2011 If you lick Danny Butterfield, he tastes like blackcurrant jam. If you lick Lee Holmes though, he tastes salty.
hamster Posted 9 June, 2011 Posted 9 June, 2011 We have triangular corner flags as we have won the FA Cup. Lee Todd was Bob Todd son. Benny Hill only went to The Dell once. back on topic We have our crest on them for that reason
The9 Posted 9 June, 2011 Posted 9 June, 2011 back on topic We have our crest on them for that reason Just for the record, we don't have triangular corner flags and never have had at St Marys (even last season's sash ones were rectangular), and the triangular corner flag thing was made up in the film Twin Town and as far as I am aware has absolutely no basis in reality. Also, I hear Belmadi's moved out of his igloo into a windmill and Butterfield tastes like Feta Cheese on Thursdays.
John Boy Saint Posted 9 June, 2011 Posted 9 June, 2011 The Urinals in St Mary's total 550 metres (1800 ft) in length.
Dimond Geezer Posted 9 June, 2011 Posted 9 June, 2011 We have triangular corner flags as we have won the FA Cup. Lee Todd was Bob Todd son. Benny Hill only went to The Dell once. This may or may not be true, however, what is true is that he would have walked past it daily on his trips from his home to the Co-op in Bedford Place. FACT (I'm ITK for the only time ever)
saintedwill Posted 9 June, 2011 Posted 9 June, 2011 Lee Todd played an oompa loompa in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and is now Johnny Depp's butler There's also talk that he might play Nik-Nak in the remake of The Man With The Golden Gun if Depp lets him have the week off. ALSO When Frankie Bennett retired from football, he went back to his old job and was voted UK waiter of the year 2006
