Rickie's story is a great one!

Thanks for sharing that....
pingwing Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Great lad and a saints legend really. Nice he sees coming to us as the turn in his career, turning point for the club that has worked out so well for both sides.
Mr Saints Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 As ever, it will be Lambert to whom most Southampton fans turn. “That reaction I get is the best thing ever,” he says. “It drives me on. They look at me to help push the team forward to score goals and, seeing the belief in the fans’ faces, has given me the confidence to have done what I have done.” Legend.
Jack Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Love him. Absolute top bloke. Best million quid Saints have ever spent.
Nadia Sllim Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Great signing, pound for pound and that is not body weight, he must be up there with Jimmy Case as buy of the century?
Dalek2003 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Agree with the above posts, SRL, one of the great and inspired signings in the clubs History. Keegan has to be the most high profile, but I always felt Peter Shilton and the unsung hero, David Armstrong (Bald Eagle), were inspired signings.
Gingeletiss Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 GI love that man. Best say that quietly, or Roger will be seething!
Sour Mash Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Really good, honest interview that. Think Jeremy Wilson might be a big Saints fan, previously of The Echo.
Maggie May Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Anders Svensson is our best ever signing but fair play Rickie.
lordswoodsaints Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 I'm guessing they didn't do that interview in the horns or the bedes lea then
CB Fry Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 The usual ill informed spiteful lies from the anti-Saints media then.
Wes Tender Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 I'm not particularly aware of an historic anti-Saints bias in the Telegraph and in any event, the article is about an individual player, although it does mention the effect that our management and sports science department has had on him.
Turkish Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Great interview if only it were true and not lies peddled out by lazy journalists. Plus Jeremy Wilson is a terrible jounrnalist known for his Saints bias. Interesting comment towards the end. "it doesn't matter who plays or who the manager is, th club has to play this way" What are people's take on that? Seems to confirm the manager isn't fully in charge of tactics doesn't it.
Didcot Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 The bloke is a Saints god. A really brilliant man. End of.

Isn't it a reference to a passing philosophy? Like barca will always play a certain way and west ham with their fans demanding free flowing football (haha)
Turkish Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Isn't it a reference to a passing philosophy? Like barca will always play a certain way and west ham with their fans demanding free flowing football (haha) Well someone must be deciding how we play and dictating it, it doesn't look like its the manager as by Lamberts admission it doesn't matter who the manager is......
Dig Dig Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Well someone must be deciding how we play and dictating it, it doesn't look like its the manager as by Lamberts admission it doesn't matter who the manager is...... Depends what you mean by tactics I guess. It's one thing the club having or developing a certain culture (which is what I think Lambert is getting at) and another for Adkins to get his tactical plan for each game handed to him with all the little diagrams on the whiteboard actually done by cortese or whoever

John Boy Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 That last paragraph nearly had me searching for a hanky! Fair play to him for seizing his chance to make the changes required, and cement his name firmly into the rich history of our beloved Saints.
adrian lord Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 He's a national treasure, alongside that bird that used to be an X factor judge, and Becks.
