Wiggles31 Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 Represents everything this new generation of Southampton FC stands for. Get it done.
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 Seconded. Lallana represents everything that is good about our club.
fanimal Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 Do that and sods law he will get sold in the summer….
FairWeather Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 If he goes to the World Cup and then is still with us next season, then I'd have him in the banner.
Patrick Bateman Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 If he goes to the World Cup and then is still with us next season, then I'd have him in the banner. +1 Agree wholeheartedly
Wiggles31 Posted 6 March, 2014 Author Posted 6 March, 2014 If he goes to the World Cup and then is still with us next season, then I'd have him in the banner. You make a fair point sir.
JN9 Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 I'm not taking anything away from the great man, but I believe that Lallana is more deserving that Lambert... ...perhaps controversial
Sour Mash Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 I'm not taking anything away from the great man, but I believe that Lallana is more deserving that Lambert... ...perhaps controversial You're forgetting their whole career.
stevy777_x Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 I'm not taking anything away from the great man, but I believe that Lallana is more deserving that Lambert... ...perhaps controversial Same here
JN9 Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 You're forgetting their whole career. I'm sorry, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make...
VectisSaint Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 Not until the banner is updated to include Big Ron.
Sour Mash Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 I'm sorry, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make... Lambert has done more for us than Lallana to date.
JN9 Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 Lambert has done more for us than Lallana to date. I'm not sure I'd agree with that... In fact I'd argue that Lallana has done more to deserve his place. I'd argue that Lallana has played as much of a part in our rise from League 1 as Lambert (I know, its all opinions and what not...), but he also stuck with us during the dark days when he could have moved on when our future was bleak to say the least. Then he becomes the team captain and represents the club very well and now will probably be going to the World Cup (and potentially as a key figure in the squad)... ...Well, that puts him ahead of Lambert for me. Of course, much love to Rickie... He's a swell guy too ya'know...
Son of Bob Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 I think he should definitely be in there. Most deserving player of the modern era.

Of course, much love to Rickie... He's a swell guy too ya'know... Lambert has been the better, more influential, player for the last 4 or so years, that's why he's up on the banner of the forum.
Saint Garrett Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 Lambert is our talisman and is coming towards the end of his career. Personally I'm not sure there should be any players who are still playing on the banner, but Morgan and Lallana could be argued to go up there. If Lallana sticks with us for the whole of his career, then he's up there with Le Tiss for me.
Golden Balls Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 If Lallana sticks with us for the whole of his career, then he's up there with Le Tiss for me. You beat me to it. He has the potential to be a full on club legend and similar status to MLT. Especially if he captains us to a cup win.
Andy Durman Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 Legend is a very over used word very rarely used correctly. Legend, typically, is a short episodic, traditional, highly ecotypified historicized narrative performed in a conversational mode, reflecting on a psychological level a symbolic representation of folk belief and collective experiences and serving as a reaffirmation of commonly held values of the group to whose tradition it belongs. Lallana requires more history to become a real legend.

Wurzel Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 Keegan's signing was a major coup and gained us loads of media interest but due to his short stay probably had the smallest on-field impact of any of them. Too early yet for Lallana, but then it's too early for Lambert as well and he's been up there a while.
shurlock Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 When did Lambert go up? Ridiculousy early if you ask me, though his subsequent performance has gone a long way in vindicating his inclusion.
farawaysaint Posted 6 March, 2014 Posted 6 March, 2014 When did Lambert go up? Ridiculousy early if you ask me, though his subsequent performance has gone a long way in vindicating his inclusion. He was the largest reason for us being back in the prem and English top scorer last year IIRC.
Saint in Paradise Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 Not until the banner is updated to include Big Ron. Seconded
Dellman Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 KK was only here five minutes, Adam has been here since a boy and stayed with us when we were down and almost out and he's been at the hearto the rise. Get him in the line!
Millbrook Saint Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 Lallana, great player for us he is, would only be a legend in my eyes if he sees out his career with us, otherwise he's no more than a great player who once played for us.
Bucks Saint Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 Lallana, great player for us he is, would only be a legend in my eyes if he sees out his career with us, otherwise he's no more than a great player who once played for us. thats the end of any new additions to the Legends banner then
Dig Dig Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 Should only be added to the legends banner if he plays out his whole career here and then transitions to manager and then Chairman and then honorary club president. Only the. Should he be added to the club banner
Chez Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 Should only be added to the legends banner if he plays out his whole career here and then transitions to manager and then Chairman and then honorary club president. Only the. Should he be added to the club banner Keegans' 68 appearances for Saints feel a tad lightweight then.
hypochondriac Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 Who said it is a legends banner? I always thought it was to show the type of club saints are. So that encompasses legends, people who have stayed here their whole careers and shown loyalty and then show how the club can pull amazing signings out of the bag like Keegan and Shilton.
Bearsy Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 Who said it is a legends banner? I always thought it was to show the type of club saints are. prob need to add mickey mouse + derek trotter then
shurlock Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 He was the largest reason for us being back in the prem and English top scorer last year IIRC. You're missing my point. I'm asking when he was included in the banner? Which season- the season we got promoted from L1? Either way, it was before the achievements you mention. As I say, what he's subsequently done more than vindicates his inclusion.
Goatboy Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 If the gloom merchants are right he'll be off soon anyway. We wouldn't want to be like the Newcastle fan who had Andy Cole's mug tattooed on his thigh just before they sold him.
Andy Durman Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 Seconded. Lallana represents everything that is good about our club. Totally agree and he is Legend material, but he needs more history.
hypochondriac Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 I miss the Christmas one someone did a few years ago. That banner was great.
Wes Tender Posted 8 March, 2014 Posted 8 March, 2014 Not until the banner is updated to include Big Ron. Thirded. If you have Channon and Paine there, why wouldn't Big Ron be up there too? If Lallana stays with us like Le Tiss did, then yes, include him too in a few years.
La BoIS Saint Posted 8 March, 2014 Posted 8 March, 2014 I think there's a case for the criterion for inclusion being that if you say the player's name then the word association is Southampton. That would cut out Keegan and Shilton and certainly bring in Big Ron. Lambert I suppose would be known to most for his association with us and if he's in it's hard to exclude Lallana.
Hatch Posted 28 May, 2014 Posted 28 May, 2014 can we add Pochettino as well. Took us to our highest ever premiership position and brought through great young talent Deserves his place imo.

St.Jeweller Posted 28 May, 2014 Posted 28 May, 2014 can we add Pochettino as well. Took us to our highest ever premiership position and brought through great young talent Deserves his place imo. according to SSN graphic yesterday Sturrock had a better win % than MoPo.
alpine_saint Posted 28 May, 2014 Posted 28 May, 2014 Baj doesnt like changing the banner. He was extremely rude to me when I made a suggestion once.
angelman Posted 28 May, 2014 Posted 28 May, 2014 can we add Pochettino as well. Took us to our highest ever premiership position and brought through great young talent Deserves his place imo. What about Strachan who took us to 8th & the FA Cup Final in the same season? That to me is better than MP's achievements even though we got 4 more points this season.
melmacian_saint Posted 28 May, 2014 Posted 28 May, 2014 What about Strachan who took us to 8th & the FA Cup Final in the same season? That to me is better than MP's achievements even though we got 4 more points this season. Very true. And even though people may argue it's harder to do it today, Strachan's squad was comparatively weaker. At least I get that feeling.
OldNick Posted 28 May, 2014 Posted 28 May, 2014 You will be wanting to take him back off again when he starts kissing the Spurs/Liverpool club badge
pap Posted 28 May, 2014 Posted 28 May, 2014 Baj doesnt like changing the banner. He was extremely rude to me when I made a suggestion once. No-one wanted to see your pubic mound on the banner, Alps.
Bearsy Posted 28 May, 2014 Posted 28 May, 2014 No-one wanted to see your pubic mound on the banner, Alps. we already have keegan's hair for that
