View From The Top Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 Many of us will have been at moments in Saints history that then they are mentioned or shown say "I was there". I was wondering what are yours? Mine is being in a bleak, dark Blackburn along with Corky Morris & DJ when MLT smashed in a 40 yarder that, when seen from behind in the away end, swerved the whole width of the goal. We looked at each other in shock before going mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 When Franny scored! My mate pointed out he was unmarked as the free-kick was being lined up. When Franny assaulted John Fashanu. MLT's goals against Nwcastle. MLT's 30 second goal and hat-trick against L'pool in the snow. Pahars against Everton. 6-3 Pretty sure Iain Dowie scored a good goal once and I was there. David Lee beating a defender. Neil Heaney beating a defender. Ali Dia Mickey Evans heading the post whilst scoring. Doddsy taking a red card for the team v West Ham MLT free-kick v Wimbledon Barry Horne v Bolton in the League Cup (?) Sorry.... Got a bit carried away!

TheCholulaKid Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 Barry Horne v Bolton in the League Cup (?) FA Cup - I was there. ****ing quality. Beating Man United on pens in the same cup run - that was a ****ing good night. Ekelund and MLT at Coventry away - a brief glimpse of how the future could've been. Too many to mention but of recent times - Leeds away last season will live long in the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfc1976 Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 Can't remember the year, but when we beat Pompey 3-0 at home, Marian scored a great goal after a massive drought and it meant we were 4th over Christmas. Really thought we'd kick on after that season and become a solid mid-table prem side. Could never had guessed what was to follow. But for the best for me will always be Wimbledon away when we won 2 nil to basically stay up. Must of had 15k there, all over the ground. Had just started going away regularly with my dad. Ahh, better days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenridge Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 For some reason Paul Rideout's debut againt West Ham after arriving from Bari always sticks in my mind. Two goals for him that day although he didn't maintain than ratio in his remaining time at the club unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo Stickman Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 I was celebrating on the coach home from Saints victory over Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final when a pessimistic Saints supporter* momentarily p!ssed on our parade by saying how embarrassing it would be if Man United hammered us in the final; I was there a few weeks later when they didn’t. * He wasn’t anyone on here, was he?

Then we lost on Boxing Day and ended up finishing season 12th, 1 place above Pompey with their fans saying they would finish above us the next season.

Further back, MLT last goal at the dell, FA Cup Final 2003, we might have lost but a proud day for me to see something I never thought I would. 6-3 and 3-1 wins against Man Utd, Derby play off game, al the final day relegation scraps.

Halo Stickman Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 I was at the City Ground in 1977 for Forest 3-3 Saints FA Cup tie when there were so many Saints supporters packed behind the goal at the away end I didn’t see a single goal! A few days later I was at the Dell for Saints 2-1 Nottingham Forest in the replay; probably the best atmosphere I ever experienced at the Dell.

Winnersaint Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 Was there at Wembley at 4:33 on May 1st !976. I was also there at the CWC Quarter Final v Anderlecht having hitched from Worcester in the afternoon. I was at Highbury to watch that ***** Heath put us out of the cup semi, and at the Dell a few days later when we stuffed them! Was also at the Dell when we stuffed Blackburn 5-1 when we next met them after Ossie's swansong. Bailey, dogs abuse throughout. Happy days. Been so many times since but those stand out.

jawillwill Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 I was there for Tommy Forecast's debut in a Saints XI side away at Weymouth in pre-season. Seem to remember we went 2-0 down after the first 10 mins but went in to win 3-2. Was also one of Poortvleit's first games too. If I remember correctly, there were 8 other Saints fans in the away end, but also a few others clearly dotted in with the home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 Random one: I was there watching Peter Crouch play for Saints reserves against Leicester reserves at Kettering Town's old Rockingham road ground in December 2004. He was not yet fully established in our first team and at the point not especially popular. 6 months later he was signing for the European Champions after becoming a fan favourite.

Mark Mywords Posted 5 December, 2012 Share Posted 5 December, 2012 3 April 1963 - Saints v Nottingham Forest - FA Cup Quarter-Final replay. 3-0 down deep into the second half, with many of our fans leaving The Dell, when we staged the most remarkable recovery to claim a 3-3 draw and a 2nd replay at a neutral White Hart Lane the following monday. 8 April 1963 - Saints v Nottingham - FA Cup Quarter-Final 2nd replay. In front of 42,000 fans, with 30,000 from Southampton, we romped to a 5-0 victory under the floodlights at White Hart Lane. Saints team for both games - Reynolds, Williams, Traynor, Wimshurst, Knapp, Huxford, Paine, O'brien, Kirby, Burnside & Sydenham. Happy days!
