Oh, and seeing as North Baddesley got a mention, how come South Baddesley is so frickin' far away from it?

 

Yes this is strange, we went to a wedding there a while ago and it took about 30 mins to get there from rownhams ffs

While we're at it, what at about the North and South Poles ? They're not even in Poland !

Some of Grzegorz Rasiak's teeth are still embedded in the St. Mary's turf after a collision against Plymouth Argyle circa 06/07?

 

Some of my scalp was left on a roof pillar under the East stand at the Dell following the 3-1 win over Newcastle when we scored 3 in the last five minutes

saints fans still think OX would have been better to stay at Championship saints

 

Well he hasn't got any better since leaving... and who knows whether he'll wish he was with us as World Club Champions in 5 years' time ? :)

Whisper it quietly but we're NOT, actually, the greatest team the world has ever seen.

 

Also, just because we ARE Southampton, we CAN'T do what we want, as in the real world there are rules and regulations to abide by.

 

Southampton once had a player that injured himself with the salad cream bottle. The player? It had to be Dave Beasant. The salad cream? It has to be Heinz.

Chris Marsden has a bald head. . .

 

As did David Armstrong.

 

But the link does not end there as both were left sided midfielders.Adkins take note.

Portsmouth has officially the highest numbers in Britain for inbreding. Apparently they don't understand it is illegal for brother and sister to have children, probably due to also being the worst educated city ;)

A mate of mine, who used to work for the club, was savvy to all of the individual player loading stats.

 

Apparently in one game of our relegation season, our french left back, Olivier Bernard sprinted a grand total of 10 metres in the entire 90 minute game.

It was actually in Carlton Place, off of Carlton Crescent. Micks first wife worked there as well.

Thanks for that correction, did not know that Mick's first wife worked their as well.

Steve Williams used to out with a girl at my youth club & got me a signed piccy of the entire squad.

 

Steve Williams used to live a few doors up from me when I was a kid; one day he came and had a little kickabout on the green with me and my mates.

 

Steve Williams :adore:

I did my trident work experience at the dell working with the groundsman during the mid 80's. John Burridge was also a very pleasant chap!

This was in Boyatt Wood. He also had a Triumph TR7 which I used to think was the coolest car in the whole world. :facepalm:

When, in 1969, we were looking to relocate back to the Southampton area, we looked at Terry Paine's house in Bitterne Park that was up for sale. I remember seeing his caps and trophies in a display cabinet. We didn't buy the house.

Contrary to popular belief the worst Forecast wasn't the one made in the 80's by Michael Fish when he said there was no chance of a hurricane.

In 1950, The Dell, became the first ground in England to have permanent floodlighting installed.

 

The first game played under the lights there was on 31 October 1950, in a friendly against Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic, followed a year later by the first "official" match under floodlights, a Football Combination (Reserve team) match against Tottenham Hotspur on 1 October 1951.

Francis Benali's moustache was indeed a caterpillar, and after years of making itself a comfortable home beneath his nose, it lost its grip and ended up as a landing strip atop his winky. Sadly the caterpillar died in 2007, since when Franny has used a merkin.

The children's television series 'Finders Keepers' was set in Danny Higginbotham's house.

Is that where Tommy Forecast was discovered hiding and we had to keep him...... forever.
