For Southampton to finish in the top four would be a bigger achievement than finishing 2nd when we were there.

 

Bloddy right it would be Kev...... You WEREN'T there

 

Said the same thing to myself when he said that, mind you time does play tricks on the mind.

Indeed Stu.

 

Keegan dipped out after Espana 82 having not really recovered from his dodgy back and missing a sitter as England were dumped out in the the second group stage (having not lost any of their 5 games!!).

 

And of course we finished 2nd in 1984 (we finished 6th & 7th with Keegan)

Great to see KK looking so well. Always liked him - heart on his sleeve kind of guy and one of the best ever players to pull on a Saints shirt.

 

Agree

 

It wasn't just how good he was (at times down here he was out of this world!!!), it was also the impact on the Club and City of signing the Current European Footballer of the Year. Even though McMenemy had a knack of signing talented, experienced players (Osgood, Ball, Watson etc), this signing was huge.

 

Only here for two seasons, but his impact was enormous.

Agreed, Have not seen a player with his ability. Nearest is that Aguero blokey at Citey - just double him to get Keegan.
