Just for fun, may have been done before (apologies if so).

 

I pass Butterfield Road in Bassett quite often and then today noticed an Oakley Road in Freemantle.

 

And it got me thinking, can would it be possible to put together a 'dream' team using just Southampton street names that are share the same name as current or ex-players?

 

Besides those two there is of course Ted Bates Road which is probably the only one which is actually named after a player.

Slightly askew from this, it always worried me that there was a 'Fratton way' in fair oak, surrounded by a cluster of other football ground related routes. (Thankfully there is 'Dell close' thrown in there too.)

there are loads:

 

Williams close (Soton)

Allen Road (Hedge End)

Woodhouse Lane (Botley)

Fisher's Road (Totten)

Holmes Close (Netley)

Wallace Road

To slightly diversify does the company own the skates

 

Tin Pot Holdings Llp register address is WESTERN GATE, 114 PANORAMA ROAD, Poole (area code: BH13 7RG).

"The Dell" in Brentwood, Essex always gets a salute from me as I drive by.

 

As does "St Mary's Lane" just down the road in Upminster. My kids love going by those 2.

In a related note, I often play the car number plate game. In a road two streets away from me there are two cars parked next to each other with last three letters of plate: JWP and SRL.

 

Sad I know.

There is a number plate up for sale on the Internet at silly money, S41NTS.

Beattie rise in hedge end

 

Yep, aways used to make me think of James Beattie when I walked past that.

 

The full list in The Dell is Channon Court, Stokes Court, Wallace Court, Bates Court and Le Tissier Court.

And Crossley Place where the old Dell car park used to be, not that he was ever a Saints player.

They were going to build a Skacel Court but the paper work hasn't been signed off yet.

 

Was that near Delgado Way that kept getting closed for repairs?

I salute everywhere I see the liebherr name. I was in Liverpool docks last week ...huge container ship got a salute which pleased me in that **** hole. Regularly salute the diggers etc on the motorway and took one on the m42 on the way to Swansea as a good omen.... Though this principle did not work at the stadium of light when they knocked us out of the fa cup with that huge liebherr building outside the ground.
