SaintBobby Posted 5 June, 2013 Share Posted 5 June, 2013 With everyone get excited about us signing Ronaldo, Messi, Fabregas etc, I notice that no Saints player has ever had a full international cap for Brazil, Argentina, France, Italy, Germany (East/West or United), Spain, Russia or Portugal. (whilst playing at our club - caps before or after don't count) We have had Saints players representing (at least) 25 different countries though. Can you name them?

St Jim Posted 5 June, 2013 Share Posted 5 June, 2013 Boa Morte for Portugal or was that only after he went to Portugal? Eyal Berkovic - Israel Don't know if LBM meets the criteria. He was a registered Saints player when he played for Portugal (first cap was Apr01) but he was on loan to Fulham at the time who bought him in the summer of 2001.

VectisSaint Posted 5 June, 2013 Share Posted 5 June, 2013 Golac doesn't count as his only cap for Yugoslavia was in 1976 when he was playing for Patrizan Belgrade - we signed him in 1978. I guess Royovic Hodgsonovic was managing Yugoslavia at the time and did not know where Southamptonovic was and so didn't pick one of the greatest ever right backs for the national team. Incredible he only got 1 cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not being funny, but the question is about the number of countries, not the number of players, so when we have one we don't need any more. Mayuka is Zambian, and already mentioned. In fact in the thread so far (in the first 4 posts) Norway is mentioned, Finland is mentioned and Morocco is mentioned. Zimbabwe is mentioned in post 17. So to answer your question, sort of, no more than before you posted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 6 June, 2013 Share Posted 6 June, 2013 Think at the time Golac was playing, the iron curtain was still very much cast across Europe and he would have been castigated almost as a traitor for coming to The West.

Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk 4 Beta According to Wiki, the Yugoslav communist authorities allowed players to leave aged 28, which is how old he was when he left. But he only had 1 Yugoslav cap even before that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatvianTolix Posted 29 June, 2014 Share Posted 29 June, 2014 sergei gotsmanov and alexi cherednik. could have had a game for russia when with us. Hi. Just checked the data. Cherednik played 2 games for USSR while at Dnepr Dnepropetrovs, before joining Saints. Gotsmanov played 31 games for USSR and 3 games for Belarus while at Dynamo Minsk, before joining and after leaving Saints. No games played while with Saints. Kanchelskis the same. In additions to that, watched very interesting interview with Cherednik on the web for Ukrainian broadcaster. In part 2 of the interview he talked about his experience playing and living in Southampton. sorry, in Russian. if translation needed, can do it but not now. For all of those, who wants to see him how he looks these days (in grey jacket). Enjoy - part 1 - part 2 - part 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza Posted 30 June, 2014 Share Posted 30 June, 2014 Since the early 80's NI's Saints contingent has consisted off: Chris Nicholl, Colin Clarke, Jim Magilton, Iain Dowie, Chris Baird (who played international football before playing a game for Saints' first team) and Steven Davis. The two goalkeepers Maik Taylor & Alan Blayney were capped just after leaving Southampton (one a tad more successful than the other) and Davis has been joined in recent squads by ex-Saint Ben Reeves.
