Secret Site Agent Posted 15 September, 2014 Posted 15 September, 2014 (edited) Thanks for this, Saint-Armstrong. Nice to see. RK going up in estimations And what a great achievement that Franny has done. Congratulations to him. Edited 15 September, 2014 by Secret Site Agent
Snopper Posted 15 September, 2014 Posted 15 September, 2014 Many thanks for that - I get the feeling we`re a family again. Long may it remain so. As for Franny, he deserves all the credit and congratulations going - a truly heroic achievement, which I hope will be acknowledged more formally. Freedom of the city, MBE, that kind of thing.
pap Posted 15 September, 2014 Posted 15 September, 2014 Our media team has been excellent for years, tbf - but it was superb seeing the Franny/MLT man hug at St Mary's. As I said, media team deserves a lot of praise.

Maybe we can launch an MBE campaign for Franny. Most MBE awards are the result of recommendations...write to our local MPs and apply pressure. Would be great to see his efforts rewarded in The New Years Honours.
Saint_clark Posted 15 September, 2014 Posted 15 September, 2014 I was sceptical of Krueger finishing the run with Benali, thinking it was an easy way for him to get a round of applause from the fans, but fair play to him for not stepping out onto the pitch with him.
hypochondriac Posted 15 September, 2014 Posted 15 September, 2014 That is clearly where ralph's strengths lie. Looks sooo much better doing these sort of jobs rather than issuing public statements about the football side of things. Hopefully the club will recognise this and ramp up this side of things as it's clear he is an asset to the club in this role. So chuffed that franny is again welcome at Saint marys. The fact the man was banned was an utter disgrace so nice to see it rectified.
barney Posted 15 September, 2014 Posted 15 September, 2014 As someone who has lost close family members to this ****ty disease,not ashamed to admit i well and truely welled up when he entered the stadium.A remarkable and herioc effort.
John Boy Saint Posted 15 September, 2014 Posted 15 September, 2014 That was a very good one of those.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 15 September, 2014 Posted 15 September, 2014 Gotta say, that was pretty uplifting. Well done Franny...way ahead of Lallana when it comes to being classed as a Saints legend.
SarniaSaint Posted 15 September, 2014 Posted 15 September, 2014 watched that on youtube from the clubs official site was a great vid and both FB and RK came across well. BTW anyone notice RK's bit about coming back in the fold?
SarniaSaint Posted 15 September, 2014 Posted 15 September, 2014 Gotta say, that was pretty uplifting. Well done Franny...way ahead of Lallana when it comes to being classed as a Saints legend. two thumbs up :thumbup:
washsaint Posted 16 September, 2014 Posted 16 September, 2014 gotta say........Franny is such a legend and it is to NC's eternal shame that he tried to airbrush our history. From afar, it feels like the club is working hard to be more inclusive and Kruger continues to come across exceptionally well. Question for those going to St Marys.....is the corporate area fuller than for the last couple of seasons (i.e. is commercial side on the way up)? Truly hope the feel good factor remains in place all season. Thank the lord we have the Liebherrs in control of our club.
niceandfriendly Posted 16 September, 2014 Posted 16 September, 2014 Great to see Franny and MLT and other ex Saints back at SMS. Cortese was a hero for us and always will be, but he made some huge errors with regards to our ex players. And another thumbs up for the media team from me. They've been great for a while now.
SO16_Saint Posted 16 September, 2014 Posted 16 September, 2014 Really REALLY good watch, that. Loved all the bits with Franny. Ralf came across as a really genuine guy and seemed to really feel humbled by being part of the last leg and getting to know the man. Liked the comment from Franny about "it wouldn't be the first time i'd have been kicked out" - good banter. ** Text BIGR55 £3 to 70070 to donate £3 **

Says a lot!!
Lazlo78 Posted 16 September, 2014 Posted 16 September, 2014 Wow, amazing video. Best part was the scene where Benali introduces his family to the Liebherr family. Must be a great moment for Francis to be "back in the fold" and be able to stand with his family in a place where he should be greeted as a hero... I can imagine that once people get past the "he's not a football person" tag, Ralph Krueger is a very, very likeable and influential character. He certainly has something about him!
