georgeweahscousin Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 ....a new feature on my blog looking at players that have played for both sides of the South Coast derby. First one:- Dave Beasant - http://wp.me/p1mFFL-eE Happy to take suggestions on who to do next, and do your feelings change for someone just because they played for Pompey?
captain sensible Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Mick Channon, Bobby Stokes, Alan McLoughlin......are the obvious ones.
Saint Garrett Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Cranie? Viafara? Fuller? Crouch? Vignal? Berkovic ? Hiley? Quashie? Pericard?
egg Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Avoid the obvious. Ian Baird would be a good shout. Colourful character and still involved with local football.
red&white56 Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 What about Alan Ball ? OK, he didn't play for both clubs but he managed both and played for Saints
Badger Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Big Ron John Mortimore as coach of Saints,and Pompey manager.
georgeweahscousin Posted 24 November, 2011 Author Posted 24 November, 2011 Colin Clarke was one I was thinking of?
Dr Who? Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Barry Horne, Colin Clarke were the the first couple I came across!!
SW5 SAINT Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Barry Horne, Colin Clarke were the the first couple I came across!! I didn't know Colin Clarke and Barry Horne were a couple!!
explorer saint Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Looking back Mick Channon was my idol and still is but at the time didnt really have a problem him moving down the league to the skates, I know he did this for bally but was the rivalry and media attention as bad then dont think so, in his autobiography he states the venom was always from the blue side the red side couldnt really be bothered. Loved the time he notched his hat trick against them on match of the day What a star well done Mick top man, saint to this day
georgeweahscousin Posted 25 November, 2011 Author Posted 25 November, 2011 Will have to do Channon. Nice bit of research first though.
HK_Phoey Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 Malcolm Waldron played for both us and poopey. Was one of my favorite players when I was growing up
sambosa75 Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 Niemi is still on the books I believe... Scratch that, he left without making a single appearance. From Wikipedia: Portsmouth Despite announcing his retirement from the game the previous year it was confirmed on 28 July 2009 that Antti Niemi was in talks with Portsmouth.[4] On 7 August, Niemi confirmed he had signed for Portsmouth on a one year deal as backup to David James and to work with the goalkeeping coaches.[5] On 24 March 2010, he was released from his contract, without making a single appearance in the Portsmouth's first team. It was reported that Niemi earned almost £450,000 during those eight months with Portsmouth. Good lad Antti.

supersonic Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 Martin Craine James Ward-Prowse I also heard Gareth Thomas has played for both sides
saintmonkey1979 Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 The only other one I can remember is Matt Robinson. I think he was a full back and played for both
Whitey Grandad Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 Didn't Ivan Golac have a spell on loan to them?
Badger Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 Didn't Ivan Golac have a spell on loan to them? He was at Bournemouth, not sure about the skates.
georgeweahscousin Posted 27 November, 2011 Author Posted 27 November, 2011 Golac definitely played for Pompey. Anyway, second entry:- Jon Gittens http://wp.me/p1mFFL-eY
mesaint Posted 28 November, 2011 Posted 28 November, 2011 The best Goal scorer the Saints have ever had IMHO. Big Ron Davies did a season down there i believe.
georgeweahscousin Posted 1 December, 2011 Author Posted 1 December, 2011 Jhon Viafara http://wp.me/p1mFFL-fd
Saint Garrett Posted 1 December, 2011 Posted 1 December, 2011 Not sure Viafara was a 'fans favourite'. Maybe people appreciated him for the Derby match, but other than that he was pretty abysmal. Never seen someone give the ball away so much in my life.
georgeweahscousin Posted 6 December, 2011 Author Posted 6 December, 2011 Colin Clarke http://wp.me/p1mFFL-fv
The Majestic Channon Posted 6 December, 2011 Posted 6 December, 2011 Colin Clarke http://wp.me/p1mFFL-fv He was another tosser who thought he was too big for saints and was always slagging the club off in the papers after leaving. I remember him about as fondly as the last toilet fish i dropped.
rpb Posted 6 December, 2011 Posted 6 December, 2011 George Lawrence made a short come back at Fratton.
sandwichsaint Posted 6 December, 2011 Posted 6 December, 2011 Not sure Viafara was a 'fans favourite'. Maybe people appreciated him for the Derby match, but other than that he was pretty abysmal. Never seen someone give the ball away so much in my life. Don't diss big Jonny - one of the coolest playerz we have had at SFC for quite some time! I always felt he gave out a certain gangsta cool in our midfield - he gave the impression he was only ever one headline away from a drugs bust, a drive-by, or an unfortunate domestic incident. Fairly average playa but he wouldn't have needed no hand-hold from the Feds to get to FP. Schitt no, respect to the fella! Magic at Derby too, 'officially; (in my mind) 'the best Saints game eva'.
