bridge too far Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 Is up for auction, according to this: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/9160016.Saints_legend_to_sell_medals/?ref=rss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 Wasn't there a campaign to get the subs a medal, and they were given special ones a couple of years ago? If so, it's a bit of a shame he's selling it, I guess the price wont be too high, so perhaps the club may make an offer. My opinion (which will be unpopular on here) is that the only medal's that really count were ones awarded on the day. Yes, it was wrong that only the 11 players on the day got one, but that was how it was in those days........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 The club should buy it and give it back to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 The club should buy it and give it back to him. Why ? He isnt exactly an ex player who has fallen on hard times. He hosts South Africa's coverage of our Premier League and I dont suppose he does that for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La BoIS Saint Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 He's only had it two years, hardly something with great sentimental value. Like winning a lottery prize if he gets 25k for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 I think it Fifa should immediately rescind the medal. Very disrespectful to the competition and to all those who campaigned for many years, to get the rest of the non playing squad a medal. I could sort of understand and forgive him if he had fallen on hard times and was destitute but the respect I had for him as a great Saints and England player as all but disappeared with this news.

beatlesaint Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 He's only had it two years, hardly something with great sentimental value. Like winning a lottery prize if he gets 25k for it! I agree. If he thinks it would be nice for Saints to own it why doesn't he lend it to them to display.....if anyone wants to see a copy of an original of course.

OVER THE HILL Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 Typical Tory he's already rich but wants more. Great player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeweahscousin Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 It would be a great gesture by the club if they bought it and kept it in the St. Mary's trophy cabinet. £25k is nothing, just stick another 50p on the parking fee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
