spyinthesky Posted 22 July, 2015 Share Posted 22 July, 2015 There was talk on another thread about the characters shown on the banner Is this time to consider an update? For the uninitiated the current photos show: Charles Miller (the leading light of football in Brazil) at least I assume that is the case!!!! Ted Bates (who was more high profile as a Manager than a player I would suggest) Terry Paine Mick Channon Kevin Keegan Peter Shilton MLT SRL As a supporter for more years than I care to mention, I would also suggest: Charlie Wayman (never saw him play but everyone of my Dad's generation reckon he was the bee's knees) Derek Reeves (the club's record goalscorer in a season) Ron Davies (our top goalscorer in the Highest Division in a season) Francis Benali (not for his playing ability but for his commitment) Lawrie Mac (for the cup final and work in the community) Bobby Stokes (for the cup final goal) There have been lots of good players in recent times and perhaps Jose Fonte (and possibly Kelvin Davis)would qualify as exemplifying what is good about this club.

saintmatt Posted 22 July, 2015 Share Posted 22 July, 2015 I've always thought it'd be nice to have pictures of them celebrating a goal/showing a bit of passion (where possible).

Bad Wolf Posted 24 July, 2015 Share Posted 24 July, 2015 Does need a revamp ........the 3 to go Keegan, Shilton and Lambert.......hardly long term legends any of them. Lambert is a legend. I don't see how any Saints fan can say otherwise. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Kelvin Davis on the banner, maybe in Shilton's place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellman Posted 24 July, 2015 Share Posted 24 July, 2015 Keegan and Shilton didn't make their name with us and KKs contribution was small and short lived, Ron Davies must replace him. Alf Ramsey could replace the guy who went to Brazil. Marcus surely must be alongside Ted Bates...difficult decisions, good luck. Charlie Wayman? Yes, my first boyhood idol, I cried when he went to Preston, he made the postwar team great to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonraker Posted 24 July, 2015 Share Posted 24 July, 2015 I propose two lists, True Saints and Heroes here is my choices: True Saints - minimum of 200 games and > 10 years service Eric Day Ted Bates Tommy Traynor Terry Paine John Sydeham Mick Channon Nick Holmes Mathew Le Tissier Heroes – Special Achievement e.g. Goals Scored, International Standing, Special Association Charles Miller C B Fry Alf Ramsey Charlie Waymen Ron Davies Lawrie McMenemy Bobby Stokes Alan Ball Danny Wallace Kevin Keegan Peter Shilton Alan Shearer Ali Dia Markus Liebherr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamberwellSaint Posted 25 July, 2015 Share Posted 25 July, 2015 I'd agree with getting rid of Keegan (famous player and good value when he was here, but not associated with us particularly, and a bit of an arse) and Shilton (ditto). Replace with any of: Lawrie McMenemy, Liebherr (Markus or Katherine), Franny Benali, Nick Holmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 25 July, 2015 Share Posted 25 July, 2015 If you can find any pics good shout Duncan could probably help, there is at least one picture (of the changing rooms) in one of his books and another on the Wiki page. My Great Granddad was briefly the landlord of the Antelope Hotel (1889) which was the opposite side of St Mary's Road to the ground (presumably why the ground was called that). Not sure if there is a picture of the Hotel anywhere. 1889 was the year St Mary's started to use the Antelope Ground on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussexsaint Posted 25 July, 2015 Share Posted 25 July, 2015 (edited) I loved shilts and he signed my boots in the old saints shop. But I can't understand why he is up there, because he is 'famous' presumably. Far more people have contributed to the club over a longer period than him or keegan and I'm not sure the rest of the world thinks saints when Keegan is mentioned. I know it was our one 'wow' moment but shilts ? Edited 25 July, 2015 by sussexsaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
