HK_Phoey Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 For those of you too young to remember what a great side we had in the early eighties. Think this was the year we finished runners up in the old first division. Steve Williams with a couple of great goals in this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintpat Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 Current players- Crouch- would score a huge amount of goals in Championship. Shearer from retired players, for the same reason as Crouch but even more! Mark wright would be a great cb addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stain Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 Paul Williams was appointed in the coaching role. Steve Williams was a classy right/central midfield player that came through the youth system late seventies and early eighties was gutted when he went to the Arse. Did win the first of his five or six england caps with us though Is Paul Williams with us as well? That could get confusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 8 July, 2011 Share Posted 8 July, 2011 Though my no means the best player to ever leave this club I'd be happy to see Drew Surman return - mostly because I still think of him as 'one of ours' in a way. The return of Chris Marsden Football Genius (in his pomp) would also do us all a power of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 9 July, 2011 Share Posted 9 July, 2011 Alan Ball or Jimmy Case. That is what we are still missing in midfield, a general with guts, experience and quality Alan Ball - not only a brilliant individual player but someone who would raise the game of everyone around him to get us promoted again. (as much as I admire Channon, Paine,Davies,MLT,KK, and Golac, Ball was the inspiration for us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if I'm wrong, and I don't know about the others, but I thought that Ron Davies was really crocked? I'm sure that Tijuana Tim said something about him having a pretty serious operation a while back. I don't think he'd be a good signing to bring back, personally. Niemi is a good shout though, mate.

Avenue Saint Posted 10 July, 2011 Share Posted 10 July, 2011 Been following saints since late 80's, no one player has individually had such an effect on the team than the man himself, Saint Matthew Le Tissier. Good enough to get in the Brazil side as per Pele's comments, chased by berlusconi for the world dominating Milan side of the 90's and without whom, God knows on how many occasions we would have gone down. What other player contributed to this effect to saints? Legend on every sense of the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 10 July, 2011 Share Posted 10 July, 2011 Trouble is the vast majority of players cited wouldn't stay on the pitch more than 10 minutes in our day and age. I played a few friendlies with Tommy Traynor when I was a young man and he was an ex saint already, dirty ?? then ....well no, it was accepted but today, straight red at the first tackle, even Case and Ball would fall foul of the refereeing nowadays.I used to live a few houses down from Terry Paine and his(first) good lady, didn't often get involved in kids kickabouts in the street but on the few occasions when he did.....well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TijuanaTim Posted 11 July, 2011 Share Posted 11 July, 2011 Terrific subject...of course I would say Big Ron, but I will surprise a few and say 'no', you have to have wing service for a player like him. Keggy was great and the windmill boy, whereas personally I thought Mark (the original) 'Psycho' Dennis was awesome and the whole left side of our team in it's heyday...didn't need a winger and FB, just Psycho. In today's game Bale is the same - maybe better, however not as much of a cult or character. At the end of the day you'd have t'say MLT....or, dare I say it? Shearer for his brilliance post-SFC.

Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 11 July, 2011 Share Posted 11 July, 2011 Arguably other ex-players would be better for the 'team', but it has to be Le Tissier. The sheer pleasure of knowing that the best player in England is playing for us, that every game there will be a moment when he does something magical that no other English player could do, not always a goal, sometimes a pass, a flick or an amusingly laidback walk to the cornerflag. All that and knowing that he'll never leave us, even when the big boys come knocking. Knowing that every other fan, despite their teams success or history is envious that we get to see Matthew Le Tissier everyweek, whereas they only get to see him once a year.
