Made in Southampton Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Can you name six Southampton players that have scored for saints in the premiership and for England? (they dont have to have been playing for saints and England at the same time)
Saint Garrett Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Walcott, Crouch, Bridge, Le Tisser (England B - does he count?) Cant think of the other ?
Turkish Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Football did exist before the premiership you know. For that reason, i will not be answering.
kpturner Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Bridge, Crouch, Le Saux, Shearer. Rednapp One more?
paulsfc Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Bridge, Crouch, Le Saux, Redknapp (J not H!), Shearer?...that's all i can think of
diggs Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 le saux, crouch, carlton palmer, david hirst, kerry dixon, bridge
Granite_City_Saint Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Shearer Crouch Bridge Le Saux Carlton Palmer Dennis Wise
kpturner Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Bridge, Crouch, Le Saux, Shearer. Rednapp One more? ..and David Hirst. What do I win?
paulsfc Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Actually, don't think Shearer played in the prem for us. Completely forgot about David Hirst!
Gemmel Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Ruddock - Did he play for Saints in the Prem Kevin Davies is another
Born In The 80s Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Shearer Crouch Bridge Le Saux Carlton Palmer Dennis Wise Palmer, Le Saux, Bridge, Crouch are right i think. Wise and Shearer didn't play for us in the premiership. I'd go with David Hirst and Kerry Dixon. Got a feeling Redknapp scored for us in the cup not league.
kpturner Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Shearer Crouch Bridge Le Saux Carlton Palmer Dennis WiseDennis Wise?? I don't think he ever played for us in the EPL did he?
diggs Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 i got all 6 see my post, alan shearer never scored for us in the premiership he lefted the year before it was called that, and redknapp only scored in the carling cup.
kpturner Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Ruddock - Did he play for Saints in the Prem Kevin Davies is anotherKevin Davies has never scored for England.....and nor has Ruddock HTH
stevegrant Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 I don't think Redknapp scored for us in the PL, definitely got one in the FA Cup at Northampton, but no league goals IIRC. Same with Le Saux, scored at Bristol City in the League Cup but no league goals. Beattie didn't score for England, so he doesn't count either. Nor did Kevin Phillips, surprisingly. Peter Crouch Wayne Bridge Kerry Dixon
stevegrant Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Le Saux scored in that 4-3 Vs Norwich Like the man with the orthopaedic shoes, I stand corrected

Made in Southampton Posted 19 April, 2012 Author Posted 19 April, 2012 le saux, crouch, carlton palmer, david hirst, kerry dixon, bridgeYou are correct sir. That was fun wasn't it.
Doctoroncall Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Gordon Watson (if you count England u21 matches) ;-)
kpturner Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Gordon Watson (if you count England u21 matches) ;-)If non-senior caps where included (which they aren't) there would be a lot more than just Watson to add to the list.
Hatch Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Did Dixon really play in the Premiership for us, I thought he was years before that.
kpturner Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Did Dixon really play in the Premiership for us, I thought he was years before that.Signed in 1992 - possibly the first year of the EPL.
The9 Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Signed in 1992 - possibly the first year of the EPL. Even Soccerbase doesn't have all of his Saints Prem appearances listed http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=2074&season_id=122 but it does have his signing date of 19 July 1992 and leaving date of 19 Feb 1993, notes he played 8 times in the League (the Prem did indeed start in 1992/3 so they were Prem games) and he scored 2 League goals (and no Cup ones) for Saints in that time. Of course I'd forgotten he ever scored for England as well, but there you go.
The9 Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 (edited) Kevin Davies didn't score in his one England appearance 0-0 v Montenegro in October 2010. No caps for Saints, or anyone else for the first 13 years of his career. James Beattie didn't score in his FIVE England appearances in 2003 and 2004 (as well as the Australia 3-1 defeat most people remember, he played 2 minutes in a 2-1 win v Serbia & Montenegro in June 2003, came on for Heskey after 76 minutes of a 3-1 v Croatia, played 90 minutes in a 2-0 win v Liechtenstein (think I'd have fancied that), and got a half in a 3-2 defeat to Denmark in November 2003. Never capped after leaving Saints. Kevin Phillips played 8 times for England between 1999 and Feb 2002 and never scored. 22 goals for Saints in 64 "never felt right" appearances. No caps after joining Saints. David Hirst scored against New Zealand in June 1991 in a 2-0 win and has 3 England caps. 9 goals for Saints between 1997 and 1999. No caps after joining Saints. Carlton Palmer scored once in his 18 caps, for England v San Marino and 3 times for Saints in 45 matches. No caps after joining Saints. David Speedie is Scottish. Edited 19 April, 2012 by The9
kpturner Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Here's a 'trivial answer'NO!Thanks for taking part.
Gemmel Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 I can try and make it Saints related, but it's tenuous - 5 England Captains whose first and last names begin with the same letter (There is a Saints connection)
kpturner Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Palmer Crouch Hirst Redknapp Bridge DixonHow can you get it wrong when the correct answer has already been posted Jamie never scored a league goal for us. Swap him for Le Saux.
MbaleSaint Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Football did exist before the premiership you know. For that reason, i will not be answering. This. (Paine, Chivers, Paine etc.)

david in sweden Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Walcott, Crouch, Bridge, Le Tisser (England B - does he count?) Cant think of the other ? you'll need alonger memory for the others...what about Paine, Channon and Keegan, too ?
kpturner Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 you'll need alonger memory for the others...what about Paine, Channon and Keegan, too ? As my teachers always said before my exams: "Read the question properly before answering".
Lets B Avenue Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Mick Mills and Keegan. William (Billy) Wright.
Gemmel Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 William (Billy) Wright. Very good.... And the two Saints related ones are correct as well (KK and MM)
