Stud mark of doom Posted 18 May, 2018 Posted 18 May, 2018 Well, sticking Gabi on for a centre back has to be right up there in my opinion. What are the others that spring to mind? Super Ken for Dia? Against us, the one I remember is Kevin Philips on his return for Brum. Dogs abuse for what seemed like 15 mins while he warms up. Jogs on. Scores.

Jonathan Forte vs MK dons comes on 2 touches two goals.. Edited 18 May, 2018 by doddisalegend
Saints foreva Posted 18 May, 2018 Posted 18 May, 2018 Mane and Wanyama coming on after half time when we were 2 down to Liverpool.
farawaysaint Posted 18 May, 2018 Posted 18 May, 2018 Rickie against City first game back in the prem?
Stud mark of doom Posted 18 May, 2018 Author Posted 18 May, 2018 Also - who remembers “the bruise brothers” Shearer and Ruddock coming in against Swindon in the league cup - 0-2 to 4-2
mrfahaji Posted 18 May, 2018 Posted 18 May, 2018 Paul Moody vs Newcastle is definitely the best 'nearly substitution'.
John Boy Saint Posted 18 May, 2018 Posted 18 May, 2018 Can only be one: 17 years ago tomorrow likeable chap comes on, showing a few added pounds, moments later the ball comes to him just on the edge of the box, where he does what he had been doing for years, spins, hitting the ball sweet as a nut on the volley past the flapping keeper, who has no chance. Bang Saints 3 Arsenal 2.........grown men reduced to tears.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 18 May, 2018 Posted 18 May, 2018 Here’s my top 3 http:// http:// http:// I think all 3 nearly had me welling up Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
mrfahaji Posted 18 May, 2018 Posted 18 May, 2018 Here’s my top 3 http:// http:// http:// I think all 3 nearly had me welling up Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk A good selection! Rickie is definitely in there if we're allowed to include matches not involving Saints, but is it allowed? What about Le Tiissier coming on vs Wimbledon in 1999?
saintwbu Posted 18 May, 2018 Posted 18 May, 2018 Here’s my top 3 http:// http:// http:// I think all 3 nearly had me welling up Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Three brilliant ones, also like the Rickie vs City one, and would also say Rickie off the bench against Chelsea to bring us back to 2-2. God I love that bloke.
shurlock Posted 18 May, 2018 Posted 18 May, 2018 Like others, MLT's winner against Arsenal. Remember buzzing for the next 24hrs and absolutely destroying an exam I had the following day. Only thing now that still makes me spontaneously teary-eyed.
jawillwill Posted 19 May, 2018 Posted 19 May, 2018 Saints v Leicester earlier this season. Saints 4-1 down after 80 minutes. Last throw of the dice for some creativity to spark a memorable come back. Step up James Ward-Prowse on for Dusan Tadic. The rest is history.

IFHP Posted 20 May, 2018 Posted 20 May, 2018 Rickie against City first game back in the prem? So inspired we still lost.
SaintBobby Posted 21 May, 2018 Posted 21 May, 2018 I have a dim memory of us beating Birmingham City 4-3 in the Championship. I think Bradley Wright-Phillips came on and scored within about 45 seconds.

S-Clarke Posted 21 May, 2018 Posted 21 May, 2018 I have a dim memory of us beating Birmingham City 4-3 in the Championship. I think Bradley Wright-Phillips came on and scored within about 45 seconds. That was a great game. I think it was the game Davis and Baird got into a little scuffle towards the end as well. 3-0 up....almost threw it away.

Cabrone Posted 21 May, 2018 Posted 21 May, 2018 At the time we all thought this was a pretty crucial 73rd min substitution...... To this day still the loudest I've heard SMS.
eddie Posted 21 May, 2018 Posted 21 May, 2018 Like others, MLT's winner against Arsenal. Remember buzzing for the next 24hrs and absolutely destroying an exam I had the following day. Only thing now that still makes me spontaneously teary-eyed. It wasn't an inspired substitution. Great moment and great goal. But he was always going to come on as a substitute to say farewell to the Dell. Changed the game undoubtedly but not surprising sub to come on.
