mynameisthehulk Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Deserves to be there more than Shilton IMO. How about it?
Dig Dig Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Yea definitely, get rid of the chap with the comedy moustache
Halo Stickman Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Keegan and Shilton out; Ron Davies and Lallana in!
Batman Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 if he is fit and does not go to Brazil, it will be an utter disgrace and prove that its all about who you play for. he is awesome
Ajv2809 Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Agreed! The banner looks rather dated now. Let's be proud of what we've become and show off some of our newer heroes.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Le tiss out Cortese in! Obviously joking
Sheaf Saint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Yea definitely, get rid of the chap with the comedy moustache I know I'm going to get slaughtered for asking this, but who is he?
pap Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 The banner has always had a sinister ring of prison drama about it. Keegan, the prettiest one, looks like he's just realised he has to pick up the soap. The rest look like they're waiting for him to pick it up.
Dig Dig Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 I know I'm going to get slaughtered for asking this, but who is he? Mick Channon I think
Halo Stickman Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 I know I'm going to get slaughtered for asking this, but who is he? It’s the first ever mod on here, Doc Holliday
Appy Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Get Keegan off there and stick Lallana on there. Lallana is more of a Saints legend than Keegan.
mynameisthehulk Posted 29 January, 2014 Author Posted 29 January, 2014 Agree with regards to Keegan as well, good player but only spent 2 seasons with us - AL has pretty much been with us 10 years already and stuck around during a significant fall from grace and then been instrumental in our rebirth.
Matthew Le God Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Deserves to be there more than Shilton IMO. How about it? What is wrong with Peter Shilton being on the banner? He earned 50 caps for England whilst playing for Saints. How many other players will ever do that? There is room for Lallana to be added alongside the rest.
JN9 Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 I reckon he is equally deserving as Lambert... *ducks for cover*
Bearsy Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 i dunno if he is quite legend like rickie but it's pretty close. I reckon we should wait and see who scores winning goal in FA Cup final. Also World Cup Final. It can be winner takes all.
ringwood Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Well theres no Osgood or Ball or even Peter Rodrigues the only man to lift the FA Cup for Saints, but personally two men missing from the banner and they should be at each end and thats........ Ted Bates and Marcus Liebherr
Hockey_saint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 I know I'm going to get slaughtered for asking this, but who is he? Is it C B Fry (yes, he's a distant relative of Stephen Fry), at one point, the most well known and skillful sportsperson of his generation and also a saints player who was in 2 FA Cup finals for us....if it's not him, then seriously, who is it?

Actually, I think it’s some bloke called Charles Miller, who introduced football to the Brazilians and had some connection to SFC back in the old days – the very old days
Sheaf Saint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Well theres no Osgood or Ball or even Peter Rodrigues the only man to lift the FA Cup for Saints, but personally two men missing from the banner and they should be at each end and thats........ Ted Bates and Marcus Liebherr I hate to break this to you but Ted Bates is already on there, 2nd from the left.

Bearsy Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 I hate to break this to you but Ted Bates is already on there, 2nd from the left. don't look nothing like his statue. Stupid statue makers! We can't catch a break with ted bates statue.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 (edited) Yeah, also did Steve Grant just add the massive tach to Charlie Millers for a laugh? Not everyone in the olden days had massive tachs SG! Edited 29 January, 2014 by Tokyo-Saint Add photo as proof
Hockey_saint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Actually, I think it’s some bloke called Charles Miller, who introduced football to the Brazilians and had some connection to SFC back in the old days – the very old days I should have bloomin known that!!....bugger! (I've been to Casa Brasil and had a chat with the manager, a Brazilian and was surprised to find out that even though his restaurant is close to St. Mary's he wasn't aware the founder of Brazilian football played down the road).
Bearsy Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 how long did it take you to find picture with penis bulge, tokyos?
ringwood Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 I hate to break this to you but Ted Bates is already on there, 2nd from the left. ah yes, so used to seeing him after playing , not old enough to see him wear the stripes, still think Marcus should be up there though
alpine_saint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Soon, definitiely. He's been here making a difference longer than Keegan was, but hes still so bloody young.
Chez Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 if he is fit and does not go to Brazil, it will be an utter disgrace and prove that its all about who you play for. he is awesome he'll go, but will Roy play him and not stick him out of the wing?
Chez Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_William_Miller you've probably all read this, but just in case you missed it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24537173 a Southampton connection there too.
moonraker Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Whilst I agree that AL is worthy of a place, perhaps one criteria could be that they have completed their playing carreer and are therfore judged on their whole career. If AL or any other current player did somthing that upset the fans there would be a clamour to remove them. Legends are in the past not the present wait until the whole story has palyed out.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Got to have a place surely? Has stayed through thick and thin, one of the best players to wear the shirt and he's team captain. No argument IMO.
Clapham Saint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 I don't think there should be more than 1 current player on the banner. The day that Rickie is sold or is no longer part of the first team then look at updating it. Until then leave well alone.
buctootim Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Got to have a place surely? Has stayed through thick and thin, one of the best players to wear the shirt and he's team captain. No argument IMO. Why? He's played only played around 220 games for Saints, mostly in the lower leagues and hes not even the best player in the team. He may well become a legend, but he isnt atm.
Ajv2809 Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 We don't necessarily even have to have players on the banner, could be anything club related. Just severely needs a refresh.

buctootim Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Its already out of date Bear. Cortese shouldnt be there imo.
Bearsy Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 ok i will update. I will also replace the wrong ted bates pic with the the ted bates statue image, cos that is more recognisable ted bates.
mynameisthehulk Posted 29 January, 2014 Author Posted 29 January, 2014 What is wrong with Peter Shilton being on the banner? He earned 50 caps for England whilst playing for Saints. How many other players will ever do that? There is room for Lallana to be added alongside the rest. Hi MLG how are you? I think you need to read my original post again. Thanks MNITH
mynameisthehulk Posted 29 January, 2014 Author Posted 29 January, 2014 I suppose any comments about needing a wider banner will get me in the world of hurt again?
Polaroid Saint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Yeah, also did Steve Grant just add the massive tach to Charlie Millers for a laugh? Not everyone in the olden days had massive tachs SG! Outrageous! My opinion of Charles Miller and 'the olden days' is now taters. I thought it was law for all young Victorian gentlemen to have at least the beginnings of a massive tache by the time they left Public School?
Cheam Saint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 What is wrong with Peter Shilton being on the banner? He earned 50 caps for England whilst playing for Saints. How many other players will ever do that? There is room for Lallana to be added alongside the rest. Agree with this. Shilton was the best goalie in the world when he played for Saints. Don't think any other player can claim to have been the best in their position. People rightly talk about MLT single-handed keeping us from relegation. However, I suspect Shilts did the same in his last couple of years with us. Every week he would make some unbelievable saves.
Andre Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Deserves to be there more than Shilton IMO. How about it? u wot bruv? Seriously though, yes Lallana should be added. Maybe at the end of this season?
mynameisthehulk Posted 29 January, 2014 Author Posted 29 January, 2014 u wot bruv? Seriously though, yes Lallana should be added. Maybe at the end of this season? Sorry, perhaps I was not clear enough. I have not in anyway suggested that Peter Shilton should not be on the banner - In fact I saw Shilton play for us and can confirm he was fantastic, however in my opinion (IMO in case that is what was causing you to become confused?) Adam Lallana deserves to be on the banner more than him if it is to be considered a gallery of legends, a hall of fame if you will. I have based this opinion on the fact that he has been with us from the time we were relegated from the Premier League, through the relegation from the Championship and administration all the way back again through the consecutive promotions. Now he is playing consistently well for us in the top half of the Premier League and looks to be nailed on to play for England in the World Cup. Shilton, although an excellent player and an international superstar did not in display the same level of commitment and loyalty as our current captain. Does that help you to understand my original post now or do I need to be monosyllabic in order to assist you further?
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Why does monosyllabic have so many syllables?
