thorpie the sinner Posted 18 May, 2016 Share Posted 18 May, 2016 THE SAVIOUR Six years ago to the very day, We were introduced to the Liebherr way, Saved from the abyss by a man with a vision, the future looked bright following years of derision. Markus was a gentleman through and through, etched into Saints folklore, his intentions were true. Maybe a business venture at the start, It soon became a passion from the heart. A 5 year Premier plan was put in place, Achieved in 3, a beaming smile on his face, We will never forget Markus at Wembley, Taking photos as we won the JPT. Such a sad day when we said a sorrowful goodbye, Our Guardian Angel looking down from on high, What would the future hold as Katherina took control, would she honour her fathers love with her heart and soul? Markus’s daughter has been a breath of fresh air, Her fathers spirit at her core, new visions to share, Markus will always remain in my heart, His spirit of Southampton setting us truly apart. Wrote this a while back! I know I am throwing myself to the wolves lol, poetry and football not quite perfect partners, but what the hell... The reason for posting it was that I actually felt utterly proud to be a Saints fan last night. Great turn out for a loyal player in an era where loyalty means zilch. Returning players who looked genuinely happy to be back, great chants from crowds and an insight into what makes this club tick. We all bicker especially on here, but we all have the same goals, we are family. Looking at the picture of Poch, Adders, Kat and Ron really summed up the spirit of Southampton. We will move forward as a team, no matter the manager or the players indeed. Without Markus, this may not have been possible. Love being a Saint.......right enough of being a complete woos, I am off to get a chilled beer from the fridge and continuing with War and Peace!

S-Clarke Posted 18 May, 2016 Share Posted 18 May, 2016 Nice thorpie. I had the same thoughts last night as well - it was such a feel good place yesterday, we're different from other clubs and I don't care if people call us a 'family' club - that's exactly what we are.
