My son, who is twenty, was saying that the first twenty minutes was the most fluid football he can recall from a Saints team. I said at the time it was the best I could recall since the Chris Nicholl era

Loved that Liverpool game, what year was it? Im thinking around early nineties?? Cracking team....what happened to Rideout after Everton?

Seem to remember Rideout being in the Tranmere team that came back from 3 down to beat us 4-3

He wasn't just in the team, he scored a bloody hat-trick!

 

Great memories watching the Liverpool vid though, I used to have the season review on VHS and I can almost remember the commentary word-for-word, I must have watched it so many times. It was my first full season supporting Saints and it was a hell of a ride! Le Tiss and Rod Wallace, despite being wingers for the entire season, managed to score 45 goals between them! Case and Cockerill in CM, with Osman and Ruddock at the back and Tim Flowers in goal - god that was a good team.

 

The Liverpool game was also Jason Dodd's home debut I believe. The annoying thing is, I couldn't get to that game because I was on the school exchange in Germany at the time and I didn't believe my brother when he told me we had won 4-1 (this was before the days of the internet so I had no way of checking the scores).
