jawillwill Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 Just to clarify, if we choose a dead person would they be dead when we met them? Or are we assuming they'd come back to life for it? If they did come back to life would they be the same as when they were previously alive or be like a zombie? Can we choose a living player that we would like to meet in zombie form? I'd like to meet Ted Bates, but not sure I'd like him as a zombie. Strangely, if Jos Hooiveld ever dies (obviously I hope he doesn't), I'd like to see him as a zombie because it'd be amusing. Anyway, to answer your question, Ali Dia (who I assume is still alive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 I have no idea why, but I would love to have a pint with Eric "the cat" Martin. I reckon he'd be the funniest and sweariest player of his era, I remember standing behind the goal in the wilton end as a nipper and him screaming "come on you f*cking f*ckers up the f*cking back, f*cking get on f*cking, you f*ckers". Theres nothing like goalkeeper/defender communication, I've always said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 David Armstrong when I was a nipper (1982ish) my dad gave me a ball signed by David he won in a raffle. I don't really remember him as a player (though I think he was a bit Richard Chaplow in the hair department) but I chershied that football as a kid. It would kind of be nice to meet the guy who signed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 Charles William Miller. To see if he really did take football to Brazil and the rest of South America, and see if there was any link between Southampton YMA's sash kit and Peru and River Plate's shirts.

david in sweden Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 (edited) Anders Svensson I've actually met him several times. Our daughter has a proud photo of herself with him - when she was much younger. He's friendly, cheerful but not much of a conversationalist (outside of football)...but he is quite knowledgeable about the game. Mind you with 125+ caps for Sweden - you'd expect that.

up and away Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 Without doubt the best value for money is Mark Dennis. Worth the pint every time, even though I hardly ever agree with what he is saying, he brings up a smile every time. Still have the thoughts of him chassising out of the suites with sandwiches poking out of his pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 8 August, 2012 Share Posted 8 August, 2012 Would have loved to meet a real great like Ron Davies (jealous of you TT) or a night out with Peter Osgood or Charlie George Was insanely lucky to have been in the same pub for lunch as Bally who I had lunch with - Legend Salisbury Saints - Race Night at Wilton... I'm probably the only one who remembered anything (I took a camera = ex wife chucked the album) but I know Moran Armstrong & Nick Holmes were there (they'll deny any memory as well) London Saints end of Season Party after last game at the Dell. The guys who went will know why Doddsy buying beers, MLT signing anything and Rupert talking sense - that never happened before or after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 My uncle used to have a car sales / garage off the Avenue in the mid 1970s and used to spend several afternoons a week at the Cowherds with the infamous Saints reprobates of that era (the post training sessions). I was about ten at the time, and saw the aftermath a couple of times. Love to have been in attendance with that lot!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
