He was a postman a while back. Turned up to deliver the mail at one place I worked about 10 years ago which me and my Saints supporting boss found pretty amusing. Aside from that he was a regular fixture in the crowd at the Rose Bowl with a pint in his hand. Haven't seen him for a good few years though.

Last time I saw him was at the AGM when the two Dutch blokes were in charge. He was sat just in front of me and asked a very sensible question of them about tactics. After a long meandering answer which made no sense at all he turned round to my mate and I and said "he didnt answer my bloody question did he ?" to which I replied "I dont think he understood it Mark !! "

Not completely sure what he's dabbling in at this moment in time but he's a good friend of my boss and has done numerous PA's for our company with a lengthy Q+A (His funniest stories involve Frank Worthington in digs). Pops in occasionally when he's in the area but can't recall seeing him at all this year. We had a company tradeshow last year and Denno ended up watching Champions League with most us blokes and giving his expert analysis.

I remember that - I was listening via radio and on that one question Poortvliet was absolutely indecipherable.

Saw him at Eastleigh a couple of years ago with Adrian Aymes, the old Hampshire wicket keeper.

 

Was Mark Dennis the most underated Saints player? Speak to fans of other clubs and they think he was just an absolute nutjob - but in my opinion he had it all as a left back, could run, pass, tackle, cross like a winger...

 

Every talent apart from being able to keep his mouth shut

think that about sums him up.

 

He was that era's Joey Barton, but Lawrie Mac seemed to be able to keep him on the rails (well - most of the time).

 

On his day, he was an absolute class defender and a good attacker..but .later on... he reverted-to-type and looked like a " warm-up " act for David Prutton.

he is with me now eating crumpets. Let me know if you have any specific questions for him.

 

well if he's still on his second cup of tea ? ...would be fun to hear about who were the players he admired most in the Saints side of his era..and what was it like playing in front of Peter Shilton.and what was Shilts like as a person (we all know about his playing record?

If I remember, Shilts would contestant lay be bellowing either "away", "tight" or "time" in the defenders ears, on continuous loop.
