Wurzel Posted 11 June, 2018 Share Posted 11 June, 2018 Southgate was released by Southampton as a youngster. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44360546 Never heard that referenced before. Anyone know how long and what age he was here? Can we add to him to Ramsey, Hoddle & Keegan as ex-Saints England managers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKsaint Posted 11 June, 2018 Share Posted 11 June, 2018 Is this the reason why he doesn't like any player from southampton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 11 June, 2018 Share Posted 11 June, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44360546 Never heard that referenced before. Anyone know how long and what age he was here? Can we add to him to Ramsey, Hoddle & Keegan as ex-Saints England managers Released when he was still at school, so I'd guess younger than 16.

Bad Wolf Posted 11 June, 2018 Share Posted 11 June, 2018 Is this the reason why he doesn't like any player from southampton? Who on Earth would you have picked from our current squad? Betrand has been below par all season and half the time looked like he could not give a sh1t. I wouldn't have taken him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did have a bad season but it says a lot about the England squad that Bertie is still their best option at left back. No doubt he should be on the plane. No other English Saints deserved to be there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golactico Posted 11 June, 2018 Share Posted 11 June, 2018 The fact that no one I know, nor anyone on here was aware of Southgate having spent time on Saints' books makes me wonder whether this is a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 11 June, 2018 Share Posted 11 June, 2018 The fact that no one I know, nor anyone on here was aware of Southgate having spent time on Saints' books makes me wonder whether this is a mistake.I do seem to remember it mentioned on here before at some point. But I'm sure that Duncan could clarify whether it's correct or not. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 11 June, 2018 Share Posted 11 June, 2018 The fact that no one I know, nor anyone on here was aware of Southgate having spent time on Saints' books makes me wonder whether this is a mistake. Here is a reference in a Grauniad article last year, suggests Crystal Palace took him on after being released by Saints: https://www.theguardian.com/football/the-agony-and-the-ecstasy/2017/mar/16/gareth-southgate-crystal-palace-captain-england-manager BBC article says the same: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44360546 Maybe its just an urban myth, but it does seem to have legs from somewehere.

Betrand has been below par all season and half the time looked like he could not give a sh1t. I wouldn't have taken him either. Forster hasn’t made a mistake for about 6 months.

rooney Posted 12 June, 2018 Share Posted 12 June, 2018 Probably only in the 1st Southampton St Mary's cubs before his parents moved away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 12 June, 2018 Share Posted 12 June, 2018 Profile on Gareth Southgate on 5L last night mentioned it, it was a good piece with Alan Smith (ex Palace manager) who was managing the Palace youth teams at the time. He would have been released from Saints at about 13-14 by the sounds of it (references in the piece to him playing for Palace 15's and 16's), I don't know how long he was actually with us?

Lets B Avenue Posted 12 June, 2018 Share Posted 12 June, 2018 Hopefully not long enough to be taken under Bob Higgin's (ahem!) wing. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/16284040.__39_I_had_phobia_of_eating_at_other_people__39_s_houses__39___ex-footballer_tells_abuse_trial/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
