Tomorrow (10th August) marks the 1st anniversary of the untimely death of Markus Liebherr.

 

I was on holiday in Wales at the time and still clearly remember how stunned I was on hearing the news.

 

RIP Markus. You'll be in my thoughts tomorrow.

[SNSUN]

Our Saviour. If only we'd had a few more years...

 

RIP

[gaz]

It doesn't feel like a year, its gone so fast. We've come a long way thanks to him and his business partner, and I'll be eternally grateful for him. Thankyou Markus and Nicola, RIP Mr Liebherr.

[Big_Bald_Si]

RIP Markus - thank you for saving our club, you will always be remembered.

[Mattio]

I went on holiday on the 10th last year and was getting sketchy reports from mates for 2 weeks... ROP

[Foxstone]

In his memory, I'll lift a glass to Markus tomorrow.

 

Always a Saint

[sussexsaint]

I was in Kenya, will always remember the moment I heard. Just wish he'd seen us on Saturday.

[Golden Balls]

I was having my hair cut and thought it was a wind up

 

RIP

[saintdaz]

Rip markus you will no doubt have been proud of what you have set in place

[Bakovnetski]

I was at the festival in Edinburgh and just thought what else could possibly go wrong for us. Luckily Markus had a legacy which is coming to fruition. He will be remembered as the man saved us from the wolves and put us back on the right track. RIP

[sir woody]

Thank you Markus for believing in our club. R.I.P

[Clash City Saint]

Sorry if it's already been mentioned elsewhere but did our fantastic flag make an appearance against Leeds? Or do you think it will only be on display when the attendance will be low enough to warrant it being draped over empty seating.

 

I realise that the flag has it's own thread but could someone summorise what are the plans of it appearance? I would love to think it would follow our great club all over the country and ultimately all over Europe so everyone can see what this one man means to us all.

 

If he were still with us I don't think NC would have had to impose some of the unpopular charges that fans have had to endure over the last year as now I guess he has to be seen to be running SFC as a business and not a play thing as he now has to answer to the 'family'. If this is what it takes to keep the family on board then better that than have another RL or similar in charge or be sold off to a foreign 'chancer'. You only have to look down the road to see the error of that.

[Lymsaint]

I was fortunate enough to meet him in Switzerland last year, a really nice man who didn't realise the pleasure his actions had given to so many Saints fans. Thanks Markus RIP

[Winnersaint]

Heard the news from a Saints fan while on holiday in Egypt. Genuinely stunning news at the time. Such a shame he wasn't around in May. RIP

[Kingsland Red]

RIP Markus and thank you.

[solentstars]

r.i.p markus gone but not forgotten wish you could have seen many more years of southampton

[scotty]

Like many others, I was on holiday when I heard from a mate that Markus had died. Could hardly believe it.

 

Rest in peace indeed.

[rallyboy]

I think we'll all remember where we were when we heard.

 

His work goes on, playing the game the right way and managing the business sensibly.

He would have been chuffed to see what we did to Leeds - and I'm sure he and Nicola would have chuckled at the deal that Arsenal were forced into.

 

Always remembered.

[corsacar saint]

Markus how much the club meant to you and how much you mean to our wonderful fanbase will both never,ever be forgotten.

Thank You Andy

[MINIBARCELONASAINT]

I was in the Saints shop at the time and my friend was on a work placement at Sky Sports, he told me it was about to break on SSN so I told the staff in the Saints shop who didn't even know. I went to the memorial service too, it was a great tribute.

 

RIP Markus.

[benjii]

I was driving to my tennis club and heard it on 5live. Absolutely gutted.

 

Will always be a Saints legend and will never be forgotten.

[Windmill Arm 2]

I got told by a skate and naturally thought he was lying.

 

Thanks Mr Liebherr, you won't be forgotten.

 

R.I.P.

[cellone]

A legend in the true sense.

 

R.I.P.

[Toadhall Saint]

RIP Markus - never to be forgotten.

[ericofarabia]

I was back for the emotional Orient game and was lucky enough to be able to sign the Remembrance Book to express my thanks for what he had done for all of us a few days earlier.

[ALWAYS_SFC]

[Gator]

if only you could measure the pleasure saints affords my life... eternally thankful.

[paulwantsapint]

Only father Sir Ted will ever be more important than saint Markus can imagine that they argue in heaven over who is important each saying it's the other

[Sevvy]

RIP Markus and thank you very much

[Saint Fan CaM]

RIP Markus - your memory lives on with all Saints fans and everytime the team walk out at SMS proudly wearing the red & white.

[PokingFun]

RIP Markus, a true Saint and an absolute gent. If there is "the other side" hopefully you are watching with a smile on your face at what you started and what (I hope) others are going to finish. Much respect.

[saintds]

A year, already?!

 

RIP Big Man, hope you enjoyed the promotion, something tells me the players have got something special lined up for you this season too

[Under Weststand]

I was at work when I heard the news and as most have said I was also stunned. I just wish you could have been alive in May to see the wonderful scenes at the promotion party (you truly deserved to be). You may then have been able to fully understand what you had done for this club of ours.

R I P Marcus and a huge THANK YOU for saving Saints.

[saint phil]

Impossible to articulate what a massive impact he has had on my life and indeed my kid's .... Thank you so much Markus and RIP

[dronskisaint]

Thoughts again with his family and friends - I'm hopeful that it helps knowing that his actions made so many people's lives better and their gratitude is ongoing.

 

RIP St Markus..and thanks so much!

I was on my way to Heathrow. RIP Markus, you're responsible for all the good times now.

[alpine_saint]

Difficult to keep expressing my gratitude in an orginal manner, so I will just say thanks Markus, and hope you enjoyed the game on Saturday.

[Petersfield Saint]

I was also on holiday and was completely stunned; never felt so upset and sad over a person I had never met. Rest in Peace Markus; you have my thanks forever for saving us.

[krissyboy31]

Rest in Peace Markus. A true Saint.

 

Can't add much to that TBH!
