The Saint Posted 3 May, 2018 Share Posted 3 May, 2018 (edited) The first manager when I started going to The Dell. Met him in the car park many times when hunting autographs and he was always very kind to the scruffy kid who'd approached him and asked if he could help get me Terry's signature in my book. Just a great guy and a true legend for Saints.... Edited 4 May, 2018 by The Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 3 May, 2018 Share Posted 3 May, 2018 Mr Southampton. Devoted virtually his whole life to the club. Thank God we eventually got a fitting tribute after the 1st shambolic attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnersaint Posted 3 May, 2018 Share Posted 3 May, 2018 Strange. It's easy to look no further than Lawrie when you are looking at Saints legends, after all he delivered the one meaningful trophy in our history, but I've always felt that Ted getting us out of the Second Division and keeping us in the top flight was underestimated in comparison, and we played some bloody good football. Remember the last two games of our first season were Forest who we had to beat to stay up and did, and Villa who we ****ted 6-2 in the last game of the season. Oh and there's a sort of omen for Saturday. That 66-67 season we won at Goodison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stud mark of doom Posted 3 May, 2018 Share Posted 3 May, 2018 Not to mention getting us out of the third division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 4 May, 2018 Share Posted 4 May, 2018 Last game of the season, already relegated and Ossie did finally score. We weren’t already relegated. We needed Birmingham to lose and us to win last day, we won but so did they. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 4 May, 2018 Share Posted 4 May, 2018 Finished above Man Utd and still went down, that’s not happening to anyone again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
