Fowllyd Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 I like the way that everybody's looking straight at the camera apart from Mick Channon, who seems to be listening to a racing tip from someone out of shot.

Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 Makes me regret I wasn't born 20 years earlier... I'd trade you those 20 years if I could!

Was amazed when i read up on some of the players we had back then, especially Keegan of course. While it may not be impossible that we manage to top our best results from that era in my life time, we will never sign todays Keegan again.

StAndy1970 Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 What a team that was. Yes we had Keagan, but the rest were all stars as well. My first football hero, Peter Wells. Never forget him breaking a finger. No gloves in those days. Ivan Golac, legend. Chris Nichol, saints legend. My other hero Micky Channon. Will we ever have so many stars in the future.

moonraker Posted 4 February, 2013 Share Posted 4 February, 2013 They were the best team I have seen in a Saints kit, everyone of them would get in todays team, I believe at least eight of the team were Saints products, Channon, Waldron, Holmes, Williams, Moran, Baker, Agboola, Hebberd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Posted 5 February, 2013 Share Posted 5 February, 2013 Who's that between Holmes and Channon? Malcolm Waldron. And to the poster who said Steve Williams was 'hugely under-rated' I would say he certainly was NOT. Most who saw him rated him extremely highly - and not just Saints' fans. And his absence from one game cost us a FA cup final appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Ringwood Saint Posted 5 February, 2013 Share Posted 5 February, 2013 Last saw Malcolm Waldron when he visited my dad to talk about his pension! Think he was working for Abbey Life as was in Bournemouth back in the 90's..... I had that kit too - full socks shorts and top - my bro had the blue kit, and although it was Blue....it was a cool second kit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
