Gemmel Posted 29 January, 2016 Author Share Posted 29 January, 2016 EX Saints 11 Manager Nigel Adkins Goalkeeper; Boroc or Bart Left Back; Shaw, Harding or Fox Centre Halfs; Hooveild, Jahidi, Right Back; Clyne, Butterfiled or Richardson Strikers; Guly, Papa waigo, Billy Sharp, David Commolly, Lambert Could be a funny old night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 My promotions 11: Davis (obviously), Butterfield, Hooveild, Jahidi, Harding, Cork, Scheiderlin, Hammond, Waigo, Sharp, Lambert. Left Lallana out as I don't think he's on particularly good terms with the club and Fonte would probably be playing for the actual Saints team so I left him out. Good news though, can't wait!

Shandy_Top_89 Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Wonder if Fonte will line up as Saints or the Promotion XI? Can't see Lallana being there and I kind of hope he won't be, mainly because people will spend all game shouting him down, when it should be about KD. Promotional XI guesses? ------------------Bialkowski---------------- ----Richardson--Jaidi--Hooiveld--Fox----- -----Cork---Hammond--Schneiderlin------ ----------Guly----Lambert------Ox------ Subs; Forecast , Martin, Harding, Chaplow, Connolly, Barnard, Sharp. Probably missed out someone blatant. Left out Puncheon as he didn't feature much in those seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 OK I'd be up for this Kelvin is a saints man through and through. It will be a fun night I reckon plus it would be great to see a few of the old boys who played such a big part in getting us were we are now. Guly has to be a shoe in and Dan Harding to I'd imagine.

saintwbu Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Seeing a lot about Papa Waigo on Twitter and on here but he never played in the promotion seasons, just the JPT winning one. For me I'm just looking forward to seeing Rickie back at St Mary's properly, and hopefully Nigel Adkins, two of the biggest contributors that never actually got to say goodbye properly.

ScepticalStan Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Papa Waigo should be given an invite. He was top scorer in the JPT and full of energy and passion, even though he was easily the most talentless player to ever pull on the shirt. My favourite memory of him was him celebrating like he'd scored a goal after we successfully defended an indirect kick in the penalty area in a meaningless match against Carlisle at the end of the season with about 9 men walled up on the goal line.

Pecho Lobo Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Actually I would like to see Lallana play. His contribution in the consecutive promotion winning seasons and his commitment to the club at that time was considerable. It will be Kelvin's night but in practical terms if it doubles up as a celebration of those two seasons then Adam was a big part of that no matter how unwisely he may have behaved re Saints since. Life's too short to maintain the bile against him for the manner of his departure, which although very poorly done, for me still doesn't cancel out his overall contribution to the club. But well done Kelvin - richly deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsaint Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Judging by the comments on Southampton FC's Facebook post it seems the announcement that it's against a Promotion XI is lost on most people. No Boruc, no Bale, no Walcott, no Lovren, some people even suggesting Pahars. Very much looking forward to this though, will be a good opportunity to give a lot of players a proper farewell.

stevegrant Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 If we are strictly talking about players who made league appearances in our two promotion seasons, that means the following are eligible (appearances in brackets): GK: Kelvin Davis (91), Bartosz Bialkowski (1) DF: Frazer Richardson (54), Dan Harding (36), Ryan Dickson (23), Jose Fonte (85), Danny Butterfield (44), Radhi Jaidi (31), Aaron Martin (18 ), Joseph Mills (2), Dan Seaborne (27), Danny Fox (41), Jos Hooiveld (39) MF: Morgan Schneiderlin (68 ), Jason Puncheon (23), Guly do Prado (76), Dean Hammond (84), Adam Lallana (77), Lee Holmes (11), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (34), Oscar Gobern (11), Richard Chaplow (58 ), Dany N'Guessan (6), Dale Stephens (6), Paul Wotton (2), Jack Cork (46), Iago Falque (1), Ben Reeves (2), Steve de Ridder (30) FW: Rickie Lambert (87), Jonathan Forte (11), Lee Barnard (42), David Connolly (41), Nicholas Bignall (3), Billy Sharp (15), Tadanari Lee (7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 (edited) Nicholas Bignall (3) Now he was a blink and you miss him loan signing. Had to look up where he is now, Gainsborough Trinity. Only 25. Bet he would jump at the chance to play in the testimonial! As is customary for this thread. My eleven: ------------------ Rickie -------------------- Guly ----------------------------- De Ridder ---------- Hamster ----- Chaplow ---------- ----------------- Morgan -------------------- Harding -- Seaborne -- Jaidi ---- Richardson --------------- Bart/Kelv -------------------- Edited 29 January, 2016 by Colinjb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardc Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Useless keeper, great servant. As supporters we are very quick to slate players for showing no loyalty yet at the same time if our players show loyalty and aren't perfect they also get slated Not sure you have ever played football but you do get worst as you get older. I hope Kelvin goes over and boos you A great servant of the club and I hope he stays on in some capacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwsaint Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Useless keeper, great servant. Bit harsh. Suggest that you watch the you tube video. Leeds v Saints in the Championship season. Unbelievable performance that day. Agree that he struggled a bit in the Premier League recently and the less said about his performance v Leicester the better. But a great servant to the club, stuck around after relegation, made a huge contribution to the promotion seasons and a top bloke. Well deserved testimonial. Hope to be there.

stevegrant Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Probably, but i highly doubt Hodgson/his agent will want him to with the Euros coming up. I don't think there'll be too much of a problem there, with it coming so soon after the end of the season (which I expect is why that particular date was chosen) they should all be able to play some part. Morgan Schneiderlin has pretty much confirmed he'll be playing on his Instagram feed, which suggests there won't be a problem for internationals.

Whitey Grandad Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Useless keeper, great servant. He was of his time and important to us in our rise up the leagues.

Mr Saints Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Fully deserved. Will always remember when we were in administration, Kelv was at West Ham's training ground ready to sign for them but was determined to wait a couple of days in the hope we would be saved. Markus arrived and Kelv pulled the plug on the West Ham deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Lallana should play, he was a vital part of our two promotions and probably second only to Lambert in importance. Of course, what has happened since means that the club may not even invite him and if he does play he'll get a lot of abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
