orchardsaint Posted 6 November, 2013 Share Posted 6 November, 2013 just to stop the hatred and bile directed at our club for a minute- away fans, ticket prices, et al- would you all like to think of something nice and footbally. who is your favourite englishman, scotsman, welshman, irishman north and south to have played for the saints. he doesn't have to have been an internationally recognised cap, just your favourite one from there. if you can, only name ones you have seen play, i would love to say davies for wales, but alas, i'm too young, but also, only what they did for the saints. so again you really have to rule out bale, i would have thought. i don't want to get too obvious, as in le tiss, we all know what he did for us, but your own heart of hearts favs. if it is le tiss, good on you. i honestly look forward to seeing some surprising results. england jimmy case scotland joe jordan wales barry horne n ireland chris nicholl r ireland mickey evans i know some are limited, but it's only a bit of fun - no slagging anyone please!

The9 Posted 6 November, 2013 Share Posted 6 November, 2013 England Matt Le Tissier Scotland Gordon Strachan Wales Gareth Bale N Ireland Chris Baird Rep of Ireland are not a Home Nation, but my favourite Irish ex-Saint is... um... nope. Ecuador Agustin Delgado Cape Verde Pedro Pele for those pointing out that Strachan didn't play for the Saints, I say I'm rewriting football terminology in the same way as Saints fans have for Pochettino's "signing" in our version of This Is How It Feels.

orchardsaint Posted 6 November, 2013 Author Share Posted 6 November, 2013 The Republic of Ireland isn't one of the home nations. only a bit of fun, i put the republic in just as another side. sorry, i forgot the pedantry on this site to be so amazingly awful. why couldn't you have least added your list and just not included the irish republican? and by that i mean, any player who has played for or may be considered for the playing of the republic of ireland, and not technically an irish republican, as we all know, politics is a private matter, and we don't all know what every man thinks on the subject of the monarchy, republic or socialistic free states. tedious though you are for doing that, thanks for putting it in.

Maybe not use the term "irish republican" if you don't want to have to explain it? I've added Ecuador and Cape Verde as other alternative home nations. Genuinely couldn't think of a Rep of Ireland Saints player I liked, as opposed to making any political point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidthesquid Posted 6 November, 2013 Share Posted 6 November, 2013 It's got to be Micky Channon and Big Ron for England & Wales, Bairdy or Chris Nicholl for NI, Kenna or Townsend for the Republic (if he played for them whilst with us). But who was the last player before Fox to play for Scotland whilst at Southampton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an actual player though..... in my memories of watching Saints the best Scot I can remember in our colours is Danny Fox.... (Can't put Quashie down now, can I!)

Hugh Fisher was a Scot and Eric Martin also. Ted MacDougal played for Scotland though I don't believe he was a Saint at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of them made it to the Scotland team. I doubt we have had half a dozen Scots internationals in the last 50 years. Cue a definitive list......
