Recommended Posts

Marian Pahars has a girls name.

 

The only Saints player to have (nearly) the same sounding christian name as 'John' Wayne (Marion Mitchell Morrison (born Marion Robert Morrison; May 26, 1907 – June 11, 1979).

Brett Ormerod was the first (maybe only) professional player to play for 2 different teams in the same weekend, Leeds and Saints

 

I think he nearly scored 3 hattricks in a week once in 2002. 1 for the reserves, 1 midweek against Tranny in the LC then got 2 goals against Man City.

North Baddesley (near southampton) is in the doomsday book and its church was built for 1 of the knights of the round table.

 

On the subject of which North Baddesley was home to Keith Harris and Orville the Duck (acc to Wikipedia).

Hence, Templars Way.

Southampton now hold the all time league record for the number of consecutive games in which they have avoided defeat if leading at half time (now something like 50ish?)

David Peach & Nick Holmes were the only players left in the team from the FA Cup winning team to play in the League Cup final v Forest in 1979. They were both on the scoresheet in the 3-2 defeat.

 

David Peach shocked me by asking for a light for his cigarette outside Elm Park after our 0-0 draw in the League Cup run!!

Ulrich van Gobbel worked at International House of Pancakes a few years ago and served me. I asked upon receiving my breakfast "You know what I'm going to do?" and he replied "Let me guess, Gobbel them up?". He was wrong, I was actually going to say "enjoy this, as pancakes are a great way to start the day".

And I think he was the first player to score a goal in all top 4 leagues for the same team (blackpool)... i might be wrong there though.

According to Viz, who a few years ago, carried out an in depth study of premier league players cock sizes, Dennis Wise was bottom of the heap with a paltry 1/2" cock. I was surprised at that because his hands are really big.

There have been 70 games between Southampton and the Skates, with Southampton winning 34 and the Skates 21. As we all know the most recent match ended in a 2–2 draw at St Mary's in the Championship in April 2012.

Saints biggest league victory was a 9-3 win against Wolverhampton Wanders. The game took place on September 18th in 1965 at the Dell :)

 

Then we signed the Wolves keeper a few days later.

 

Can you imagine the uproar on here if we did that now.

Adam Lallana signed my nippers season ticket whilst queuing at a checkout in our local Waitrose. We had the ticket handy in the car, and are definitely not stalkers in case you read this stuff Adam.
