the scud Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Peter madsen think that what his name was? Forward took him from a German team on loan or was it a Danish team?
stknowle Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 I wish I could forget that that virtually the entire squad from the championship delegation season played for us. Special mentions for Lancashire, James and McGoldrick.
Big John Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Pele. So wanted him to be good but he wasn't.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Not difficult to forget that Steve Guppy played for us being that he never did. Never played for 1st team, but played a few reserve games........

Hedgehog Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Andy Townsend and Alan Shearer, can't ever remember them mentioning that they once played for us when they talk on the telly. Perhaps i have missed the fact.
Kenilworthy Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Justin Fashanu Ally McLeod Paul Moody (shudders) Justin Fashanu was the first on-loan player to score for Saints. But loans were relatively rare back in the early 80s.
suewhistle Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Andy Townsend and Alan Shearer, can't ever remember them mentioning that they once played for us when they talk on the telly. Perhaps i have missed the fact. I remember Townsend engineered a move from us by deliberately playing sh*te, after we'd lifted him out of non-league at Weymouth. Don't watch much TV but you're right, it's never mentioned.

david in sweden Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Alf Ramsey. Not sure if Hoddle would count though? He became Saints boss after England! ANSWER: to Q. Three England managers who were signed as players by Saints..... (not Hoddle of course,) who managed both England..and Saints, but never played for SFC. Kevin Keegan Alf Ramsey AND a 16 year old who was signed as an amateur in 1949, but never made the first team named ..Bobby (later Sir) Robson. He later moved to Fulham and made some sort of a name for himself....
percy windham Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Peter Reid was U21 manager for one game. Does that count?

Don't watch much TV but you're right, it's never mentioned.[/quote) I think Andy might feel a bit peeved when contemplating his career with us. Having been bought by Lawrie McMenemy in 1984 for a bargain 35K from Weymouth, he began playing at left back. Tragedy came when he broke his leg in a pre-season friendly - against his old club - and was out for a whole season. Returning to the side (then managed by Chris Nicholl) he started playing on the right wing - occasionally on his favoured left side. He played a whole season in 87/88, but then found himself being shipped out to Norwich for £300K. after less than 100 games, and was replaced by a young Rod Wallace who was beginning to make his mark. Nicholl must have felt pleased with the profit, but would soon regret the decision when AT moved onto Chelsea for a £1million+fee. and started a fine career that included collecting the first of his 70 Republic of Ireland caps. Even after glory days at Chelsea, he moved on to good days at Villa, Middlesbrough and WBA before finally quitting the game. I don't know if he " engineered his move ", but Nicholl was keen to bring in the young striker (Wallace), and AT didn't seem to be in his plans. Considering the midfield problems we had in the following years it might have been a better decsion to have kept him. Certainly his career much far more successful than anyone could have imagined at the time and far better than his successor (Wallace). Edited 26 January, 2013 by david in sweden
david in sweden Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 ....or how about FOUR goal keepers who signed for Saints - after having been on Tottenham books in their earlier days...?

Webby Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Frank Worthington Andy cook And who was that winger that played for us in the late 80’s I think it was. Good prospect that never really made it. Ah, was it Neil Heaney?
markr27 Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Andy Williams, and his mazy run at the Dell against Chelsea...... Kevin Davies was playing so 97/98 era?

I was still at school and taller than him!
beatlesaint Posted 26 January, 2013 Posted 26 January, 2013 Just seeing his name here, Lloyd James....bloody hell yeah......I remeber a lot of people used to come on here and defend him, cant think why. Another one of our "defenders that cannot defend" brigade we have endured over the years. Where is he now ? Still warming Colchester's bench or has he slipped lower than that as well ?
