Mick Channon just retweeted a picture that Alan Ball's daughter had posted she has loads more fantastic pictures of Bally , but this one is my favorite.

 

What a team!!!

What a great picture, includes a Hugely Under Rated player... Steve Williams

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.

 

Great photo, great days.

Channon is always in a world of his own!

This was just when I started supporting Saints. Had that full kit and with that sponsor

 

Me too, still got the shirt and a tracksuit top - that kit has never been bettered since although nostalgia may be blurring my opinion.

Would love if we had something similar next season

Makes me regret I wasn't born 20 years earlier...

 

I'd trade you those 20 years if I could! But as I can't, I'll console myself with having seen that team and those players week in week out. And, in their respective positions, I would take any one of them over the current bunch (maybe might make an exception for Rickie)

I started supporting Southampton in 1997 and had no idea about the success and team we had in the 80s. 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.

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. I really hope so! COYR!!!!!

Are you sure about that?

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

Posted
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.

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.....
