jawillwill Posted 23 February, 2018 Posted 23 February, 2018 Bear with me, this is a tenuous Saints link. Sara McManus is the vice-captain of the Swedish curling team. She is the wife of former Saint, Staurt McManus, who made a couple of appearances in the mid-80s, most notably starting against Liverpool. Now, enjoy your weekend safe in the knowledge that you have a valid reason to google swedish women for trivia-based research.

Whilst McManus was an apprentice at Saints my cousin once met him whilst travelling to a home game on the top deck of a bus in Southampton.
jawillwill Posted 23 February, 2018 Author Posted 23 February, 2018 In your defence, I would describe that as equally tenuous. Not necessarily more.

Secret Site Agent Posted 23 February, 2018 Posted 23 February, 2018 Not so much tenuous as incorrect. She is his 26 y.o daughter. Mind you, he is from Falkirk, so both might be true...........I'll get my coat.

See, I have highlighted it above IN PINK AND underlined it for you and everyone else to see plain as day that you DID make an INCORRECT statement. Why do you have to be such a ti* about it and pretend you said something you didn't?
Saint Martini Posted 23 February, 2018 Posted 23 February, 2018 I've played amateur football in the same team as McManus.

Upside down Saint Posted 23 February, 2018 Posted 23 February, 2018 This is going really well so far...! LOL...
explorer saint Posted 23 February, 2018 Posted 23 February, 2018 No - jawillwill - that is not what you said!! You clearly said she was the WIFE of Steve McManaman, not his DAUGHTER. See, I have highly lighted it above IN PINK AND underlined it for you and everyone else to see plain as day that you DID make an INCORRECT statement. Why do you have to be such a ti* about it and pretend you said something you didn't? Steve Mcmanaman thought we talking about Stuart McManus !!
Lighthouse Posted 23 February, 2018 Posted 23 February, 2018 I have never met 'Staurt' McManus. Hope this helps.
Yorkshire Saint Posted 23 February, 2018 Posted 23 February, 2018 Calum Mcmanaman is no relation but played for Wigan
LVSaint Posted 23 February, 2018 Posted 23 February, 2018 In other (unrelated) curling news..... Phwwwwwoooooar! Her husband curling partner tested positive for a banned substance though, bye bye bronze medal. Oh you silly Russians.....
whelk Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 Steve Mcmanaman thought we talking about Stuart McManus !! Interesting that Mcmanaman’s wife played hockey for Saints.
Globetrotter Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 Sounds like Steve McMahon plays a mean hockey Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
hypochondriac Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 Just seen the snowboarding bronze medalist is from Southampton.
whelk Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 Just seen the snowboarding bronze medalist is from Southampton. What’s that git to do with Stuart McCall’s daughter?
hypochondriac Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 What’s that git to do with Stuart McCall’s daughter?It's a winter Olympic factoid with links to Southampton thread.
Polaroid Saint Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 Southampton is near some water, and can get quite cold in winter. This is a bit like Olympic venue Gangneung. Southampton based snowboarder, and husband/son of Michelle McManus from pop idol, Billy Morgan, won bronze to add to his platinum for melon collie and the infinite sadness.
Nordic Saint Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 Just seen the snowboarding bronze medalist is from Southampton. And didn't the BBC commentator keep on about it. He mentioned Southampton so many times, it made me think he must be from here too. When he said, "The whole of Southampton must be watching" I thought, probably not at this time. I doubt many people had even heard of Billy Morgan before today. But, it was a remarkable achievement in an event which requires incredible bravery, for a man who learned on the dry slope in Southampton.

Shame the coverage has been miniscule, I bet if everyone in Southampton knew he was going for a medal a lot of people would have made the effort to watch it !
Jonnyboy Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 Just seen the snowboarding bronze medalist is from Southampton. True story, my wife knows his nan. But only in passing.
Jonnyboy Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 I've played amateur football in the same team as McManus. Which one, Sara?
John Boy Saint Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 Shame the coverage has been miniscule, I bet if everyone in Southampton knew he was going for a medal a lot of people would have made the effort to watch it ! To be fair South Today primed us Thursday I think. I watched his first spin through the air and land on his bum then lost the battle with my eyelids
Bensfcno1 Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 Are the Yoshida sisters in the Japanese curling team any relation of the great Maya?
Raging Bull Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 In other (unrelated) curling news..... Phwwwwwoooooar! Her husband curling partner tested positive for a banned substance though, bye bye bronze medal. Oh you silly Russians..... Who the f**k needs to dope for curling? It’s f*****k curling!!!
Pamplemousse Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 Who the f**k needs to dope for curling? It’s f*****k curling!!! He claims a rival curler who wasn't selected for the Russian team spiked his drink. The drug in question is completely useless for curling so it does seem a bit odd that he would dope.
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 24 February, 2018 Posted 24 February, 2018 I've played amateur football in the same team as McManus. I used to watch Saturday Afternoon wrestling with my dad when Mick McManus was the man to hate and he probably wrestled in Southampton on the odd occasion. Mick came from London like some Saints players have done. He might even have gone on holiday to Portugal where more than one Saints player has grown up. Tenuous Saints connection I know, but just as interesting.
Badger Posted 25 February, 2018 Posted 25 February, 2018 Something that is Saints and curling related: Strange realising that was four years ago, a lot of changes in that time.
bazza Posted 25 February, 2018 Posted 25 February, 2018 This is by far the best thread I’ve read in this message board in ages! lol
svetigpung Posted 26 February, 2018 Posted 26 February, 2018 No, Stuart. Are u sure it wasn't Staurt then ??
svetigpung Posted 26 February, 2018 Posted 26 February, 2018 Update ... Staurt McManus wife and daughter won a curling gold medal !! But as she is married to Joakim Sjölund , does this mean she is a bigamist? Is Staurt up for a bit of three-a-side?
Saint86 Posted 26 February, 2018 Posted 26 February, 2018 Shame the coverage has been miniscule, I bet if everyone in Southampton knew he was going for a medal a lot of people would have made the effort to watch it ! The BBC coverage of these olympics has been shocking tbh. A real let down. Don't worry though, your supporting socialism tax is going up to £150 soon
simo Posted 26 February, 2018 Posted 26 February, 2018 Who the f**k needs to dope for curling? It’s f*****k curling!!! I watched some of the final , I had smoked some dope ! I am glad I did !

Globetrotter Posted 27 February, 2018 Posted 27 February, 2018 The main thing is that Alan McManus survived Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

But as she is married to Joakim Sjölund , does this mean she is a bigamist? Is Staurt up for a bit of three-a-side? I normally find with 3 blokes on each side it gets a bit cramped.
