Rut Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_one-club_men To be included: Been at club for minimum of ten years. Loan spells at other teams disqualify players from being counted in the list. In this list there are 6 Southampton players. Matt Le Tissier is an obvious one. Without clicking the link can you name the other 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rut Posted 15 April, 2012 Author Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Actually there are 7 in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Nick Holmes and Ted Bates would be 2. Benali and Dodd both had loan spells which would rule them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Tommy Traynor I think was one I once had a chat with Tommy when he was working in the Stevedoring Dpt at Union Castle after his Saints career had ended, must have been on a holiday job myself I guess.Seem to remember him telling me he played for an Irish side in his early years,don't know if that counts though, must have only been a lad at that time.

Window Cleaner Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Possibly Dundalk? Maybe, it was a long long time ago, I was a schoolkid at the time,we even played a few matches against crew sides from the Castle boats.My did Tommy give you a bolloaking if you screwed up,if he didn't then it was Bobby McCloughlin who was with Tommy in Stevedoring.

Badger Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Ali Dia. I bet he didn't play for anyone else. I think he played for Gateshead but only briefly before they realised he was crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Didn't Ted play for Norwich? Dont think so? Isn't the whole thing about it that he was a one club man as player, manager and director? I stand to be corrected though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 John Sydenham ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Dont think so? Isn't the whole thing about it that he was a one club man as player, manager and director? I stand to be corrected though. Hmm. Born in Thetford and started his career at Norwich but didn't make an appearance, so I suppose he's still a one club man.

Crazy Diamond Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Bates, Traynor, Paine, Sydenham, Channon, Nick Holmes, and MLT I'm confused a bit here, do they count as a one club man if they've played for ten years at one club, even when they've played for other clubs? If so Channon is in there but he played for a load of other sides, so he can't really be called a one club man in the true scheme of things.

SNSUN Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 I see some Skate fan has been moaning at the poor Wiki editors to include a bunch of overlooked Skate players. Thus proving no-one wants to sign their cruddy players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Bit odd, they don't include Ted Bates in the main list, but mention him in the section about coaches etc. He was on Norwich's books, but never made a 1st team appearance. Strictly Nick Holmes should't be in the list as he played for East Cowes Vics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Bates, Traynor, Paine, Sydenham, Channon, Nick Holmes, and MLT David, you really are slipping if you think Windmill only played for Saints. You're forgetting Man City and Norwich and even his spell with the lot down the M27. Painer won the 3rd division with Hereford after Lawrie Mac showed him the door (he played over 100 times for Hereford). Sydenham played for Aldershot, as did many of our players in those days, they were almost our reserves for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 also Bristol Rovers I recall ... True, the full list also includes Newcastle, Finn Harps, Durban Celtic, Cape Town City, Newcastle KB United, Gosnells City, Durban City and Mirama Rangers. Other than that he was indeed a one-club man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Managed Cheltenham too. Indeed. As a resident of Cheltenham I've often floated his name to Chelt fans who remember his time with them in the southern league.Not too popular here I'm afraid.

As a resident of Cheltenham I've often floated his name to Chelt fans who remember his time with them in the southern league.Not too popular here I'm afraid. I remember reading that ahead of an FA Cup tie he worked the players into the ground to make sure they didn't get a mauling, he was then criticised for taking things too seriously as they were a non-league club and only part timers.

I'd didn't read the question carefully enough did I ?.. Hence the faux-pas . THX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
