Fitzhugh Fella Posted 23 March, 2013 Share Posted 23 March, 2013 We soon hope to be publishing our book on the careers/lives of over 1000 players who have played competitive football for the Saints since 1887 (first entered Hampshire Junior Cup) but cannot decide between these 3 titles ALL THE SAINTS SAINTS ALL TOLD WHOLLY SAINTS Would be interested to get the views of this forum if that's ok with the mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 23 March, 2013 Share Posted 23 March, 2013 Is Jim Brennan profiled in the book? I hope so. Btw, All The Saints is the best name there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted 23 March, 2013 Share Posted 23 March, 2013 All The Saints is the best of those three. What about "Once A Saint" as in the old Ted Bates saying "once a Saint, always a Saint" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 23 March, 2013 Share Posted 23 March, 2013 Surely "All the Saints" would be a title for a book that was an encyclopedia of every single player that played for us. This book doesn't seem to be that. Agree that "All Saints" is a bit better, but still not quite right. I like beatle's "Once a Saint" suggestion.

SNSUN Posted 23 March, 2013 Share Posted 23 March, 2013 Saints Alive! (But quite a few are also dead) - a quality book title you'll agree! Not fussed with the title - been looking forward to it since you mentioned it Duncan. All The Saints is probably the best, because it is about All The Saints.
