Shroppie Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 It's an international break and I'm bored already. So, for amusement, how close can you get to an alphabet of Saints players, past or present? For an element of competition, where there are plenty yo choose from (eg Lallana, Lambert,Lovren) the most recent wins. I'll start with Antonio, Boruc, Clyne. Easy so far. Will be impressed if anyone can do Q, X or Z.
Gruffalo Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 Will be impressed if anyone can do Q, X or Z. Nigel Quashie..
Shroppie Posted 8 October, 2013 Author Posted 8 October, 2013 Quashie for Q Zoltan Liptak for Z Quashie - very good, forgot about him. Think Zoltan is cheating.
Olallana Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 Quashie - very good, forgot about him. Think Zoltan is cheating. Then the Z will go empty......Another twist on it is to name as unknown player (to the public) you can remember for each letter....like Duncan Spedding or Fred Titmuss...
Lighthouse Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 One day, when Xavi joins the club he supported as a boy...
Dellman Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 A good exercise is to pick a whole Saints team beginning with, say, B and then one beginning with C and so on and see which letter is strongest. I guess it might be W but who would play in goal?

OttawaSaint Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 K - Seriously? Here's a clue...."I would love it"
SNSUN Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 I can cheat at this, because I have Duncan's "Alphabet of the Saints". So I won't spoil it. Oh, ok, well up until publish date in 1991, there were no Q's, X's or Z's. So Quashie aside, it can't be done.
Hatch Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 Manny Andrew Zewski Andrew is his middle name, honestly.
Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 I think bonus points for the most random and obscure.

Bearsy Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 i made a wank midfield. Can anyone do a shit defense? Wanyama Antonio N'Guessan Kosowski

Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 Idiakez... That Idiakez would definitely make a **** defence.

Lighthouse Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 Moss Ostlund Oakley Svensson Evans Fernandes Uwe Cork Kosowski Evans Rasiak Not sure Oakley filling in at CB, we might ship a few goals there. Evans will have to be pretty fit to cover LB as well as playing up front too.
Lighthouse Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 I wonder if Jos fancies playing the anchor man in a 4-5-1 Boruc Andruszewski Lancashire Lovren Bridge Antonio Griffit Hooiveld Anders Idiakez Rasiak Right, that's enough internet for today.

Olallana Posted 8 October, 2013 Posted 8 October, 2013 Boruc El-Khalej Adams Richards Seaborne Belmadi Idiakez Gillett N'Guessan Ormerod Banger I see what you did there!!
Shroppie Posted 8 October, 2013 Author Posted 8 October, 2013 Thank you all for brightening up a day. Far more imaginative than I could have guessed.

Bad Wolf Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 http://www.sporcle.com/games/Freddie/football-league-xis-southampton 148, mainly from the modern era as I only got into football in 2005. Funny how these names are so obvious once they're revealed! It was actually 147 but I did put "Guly" in, turned out it wanted "Do Prado" so I'm giving myself a point for that one.
SNSUN Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 We should've signed Robert Ullathorne, Abel Xavier and Boris Zivkovic. Aside from the fact they're all rubbish and Zivkovic was a skate.
marc_saint Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 Abel Xavier did train with us..... http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11700_2323438,00.html
