Lazlo78 Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Andrew Davies was immense in the nPC for a while, before moving on to Stoke I think. That was just at the stage when things were starting to go very very wrong financially. Still at Bradford struggling with injuries. Actually, Davies was our player of the season in 07/08, so yes, he was immense!
Lazlo78 Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 (edited) Has Mikael Nilsson been mentioned yet? He was quite crap for us as far as I remember And Danny Guthrie - I only remember we had him on loan but can't remember if he did well. Those good "old" dark days in the FLC really saw some players coming in and out! Did we also get karate man Jelle Van Damme? Stephen Crainey who went on to Leeds and Blackpool?

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I wonder how many of these players were signed with a long shot/free kick specialist tag. I swear the IS used to say it about every new player. Tomasz Hajto definitely was!
MK Saint Posted 16 February, 2013 Posted 16 February, 2013 Thomas Peckhart, on loan from Spurs - truly sh1te. First touch like a sledgehammer. Unbelievably, he is currently playing regularly for Nuremberg in the Bundesliga.
Lazlo78 Posted 18 February, 2013 Posted 18 February, 2013 Christer Warren, Darren Potter, 2 Chinese players? Chinese captain Zheng Zhi was one - who was the other?!
Pancake Posted 18 February, 2013 Posted 18 February, 2013 Chinese captain Zheng Zhi was one - who was the other?! He played for Charlton didnt he?
Lazlo78 Posted 18 February, 2013 Posted 18 February, 2013 He played for Charlton didnt he? As far as I can Google, yes. Don't really remember him...
Saint Without a Halo Posted 19 February, 2013 Posted 19 February, 2013 Tony Funnel short career for us but a series of so important goals in those last few promotion matches in 77/78! So similar to Billy Sharpe last year!
Suhari Posted 19 February, 2013 Posted 19 February, 2013 (edited) Lee Todd Darren Potter Chris Woods Still feel a bit guilty about jeering at Chris along with loads of other fans behind the goal when he was carried off with a broken leg. Away a Leicester perhaps? Sorry Chris.... Edited 19 February, 2013 by Suhari
The9 Posted 19 February, 2013 Posted 19 February, 2013 (edited) Chinese captain Zheng Zhi was one - who was the other?! I have a REALLY vague recall of having some Chinese players on trial but they never played, and there's no mention of Saints (even for a trial) on his Wiki page. Weirdly Newport County also had a couple of Chinese players on trial about 7 or 8 years ago, wouldn't be surprised if it was the same ones. Aha ! : http://www.southampton-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/chinese_skipper_on_trial_193866/index.shtml Edited 19 February, 2013 by The9

I think you got 4 "originals" there, pretty good going for post 253. Nilsson was one of our worst ever Prem players, Guthrie was decent in the sense that we were cack before and after him and he added a bit of pace to our passing and effort to the midfield (though he can't get in Reading's team now). Jelle Van Damme was with us from 2004-6, mostly injured, a ponderous donkey left back who refused to play in the Championship. Stephen Crainey played about 4 matches under Sturrock and got sold almost immediately, was decent for Blackpool last season though.
Saints67 Posted 19 February, 2013 Posted 19 February, 2013 Not got time to trawl the thread but Stephen O'Halloran (on loan from Villa). Now playing for Nuneaton Town according to wikipedia.
The9 Posted 19 February, 2013 Posted 19 February, 2013 Not got time to trawl the thread but Stephen O'Halloran (on loan from Villa). Now playing for Nuneaton Town according to wikipedia. Already covered in depth, along with a debate about whether we only signed him to promote an u-21s match at St Mary's where Surman and Walcott were in the England squad.
PhilippineSaint Posted 19 February, 2013 Posted 19 February, 2013 Did Chris McMenemy ever get a game ?
The9 Posted 19 February, 2013 Posted 19 February, 2013 Darren Kenton Jonno Quick, and equally as adept at defending.
andrew123 Posted 19 February, 2013 Posted 19 February, 2013 Lee Molyneux. Didn't he go to Plymouth and make his debut when they beat us 0-2 at SMS in our first game of our league one promotion season?
The9 Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Lee Molyneux. Didn't he go to Plymouth and make his debut when they beat us 0-2 at SMS in our first game of our league one promotion season? 0-1, but other than that, yes. He's at Accrington now, via Port Vale.
Stud mark of doom Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 How about players you have literally forgotten who played for us in two separate spells? Can't remember his name but Alan Ball re-signed him and for some reason i remember he scored our "other" goal in that snowy victory over Liverpool when MLT got the other three.

oldskoolsi Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 And can I add our first million pound signing Alan McLoughlin
The9 Posted 28 February, 2013 Posted 28 February, 2013 Thanks to this quiz, I can genuinely add another 19 players (even though their nationality, position and former club is listed) : http://www.sporcle.com/games/Ellz99/southampton-in-the-football-league As I don't want to spoil the quiz for you, don't scroll down... Cos I forgot.... Darren Powell Dany N'Guessan Vincent Pericard Callum McNish Simon Gillett Nicholas Bignall Marcelo Sarmiento Phil Ifil Neal Trotman Dennis Wise Adam Hammill David McGoldrick (wishful thinking that one) Sam Hoskins (more didn't know he played last season that "forgot", I was talking about him today) Jon Otsemobor Danny Higginbotham Michael Poke Cedric Baseya and to my eternal shame... Brett Ormerod and Chris Baird.
krissyboy31 Posted 1 March, 2013 Posted 1 March, 2013 Kerry Dixon just been on SSN. Forgotten man? in Branfoot's genius signing of David Speedie
