Alphabet Legends

[ozzmeister]

Saw a link for a Man United kids book 'Alphabet Legends'. Basically an A-Z with a club legend associated to each letter.

 

Thought it might be fun to try to do one for Saints (Surnames should be used) - annoyingly we have a lot of L's

We don't have 26 legends. The whole point of being a legend is that you are memorable and rare. 10 at most.

[Micky]

A - Reuben Agboola

[jawillwill]

Zoltan Liptack

[Sevvy]

S =Shilton

[manina-pub]

Depends how you define legend ..

 

Ali Dia

[ozzmeister]

Is there a way I can update the OP with names suggested?

[Hamilton Saint]

P - Paine

D - Davies

C - Channon

H - Holmes

S - Sydenham

Sir Rickie Lambert

 

Ted Bates

[Fatboy40]

Looks like managers are allowed...

 

 

... so...

 

B - Bates

M - McMenemy

[Pamplemousse]

B - Beattie

F - Fonte

K - Keegan

N - Niemi

O - Ormerod

P - Pahars

S - Stokes

 

I know others have proposed others for those letters, I'm just putting alternatives out there so it can be debated.

 

I'd also argue Le Tissier should go under T, and put Lambert at L

 

Managers - A for Adkins, K for Koeman

This is an alphabet legend...

 

[Dusic]

E = Jacinto Ela-Eyena

[Cabbage_Face]

W = PAPA OF THE WAIGO VARIETY.

[Dellman]

W..is a problem, too many to choose from. Must be a place for Steve Williams, though its hard not to have my boyhood idol Charlie Wayman

[CB Fry]

CB Fry.

[saintoaks]

M- Moran

G - George (Chicken)

W - Willams (apart from when he buggered off to Arsenal)

C - Channon

W - Wallace Danny (same when he went to Man u)

[Bad Wolf]

F - Fonte

K - Keegan

O - Ormerod

P - Pahars

S - Stokes

Koeman is not a Saints legend. He's in the same bracket as Strachen. I wouldn't class Ormerod as a legend either.

Ali Dia

 

He's one of Saints most memorable players ever. The average football fan will know more about him than Bates or Paine. Maybe even the average young Saints fan.

Can’t believe you’ve missed Micky Evans. WTF?

[Toadhall Saint]

Denis (mark) - absolute legend

[sandwichsaint]

Where does CMFG fit into all this?

[Dellman]

P can only be for Terry Paine...800 games, 18 seasons, from 3rd div to 1st, top goalscorer before Channon and World Cup winner with England. I know Pahars scored a few vital goals in that seaon when he was fit, but compare with Terry...he can't

Proper footballers and I've seen them all.

Frannie instead of Frank Saul

Jenkins (Tommy) instead of Paul Jones, if only for that goal at West Ham

[Dark Munster]

Hopefully before the window closes this summer we'll be able to bring in a U, X and Z. Pretty discriminatory that we've haven't done so in our history. I'm sure we can find an X and Z at least in China.

[red&white56]

surely S has to be Stokes ???

[ashnats]

ekelund

[Nordic Saint]

CB Fry.

 

He only played 25 games for Saints before he went to Portsmouth.

[Turkish]

R - Reed. Done so much for the club. Absolute legend. Back to back promotions, a cup final, 2 European campaigns and 4 consecutive top 8 finishes. He’s brought some of the finest players ever to play this club through the doors and made the club huge amounts of money. Without question the greatest director of football in premier league history.

[Lets B Avenue]

M- Paul Mitchell. I'm reliably informed that he was singularly responsible for every single thing that went right in the past decade and that everything has been utter sh ite since he scuttled off to go to his dream job at Tottenham. Oh! Sorry. RB Leipzig.

[Hamilton Saint]

surely S has to be Stokes ???

 

John Sydenham: 402 appearances; 40 goals

Bobby Stokes: 264 appearances; 55 goals

Alan Shearer: 158 appearances; 43 goals

 

I'd go with Sydenham. He was one of my heroes when I started supporting the club in the early 60s; and he went to the same school as me (St. Mary's in Bitterne Park).

There's also Peter Shilton, 188 appearances for Saints in our most successful years, the early 1980s, and 125 England caps.

[ozzmeister]

Not a legend per se but could U be Uwe Rosler (I know completely contradicts the rules stated but clutching at straws).

[Dellman]

S must be Bobby because that goal is the stuff of legends, yes Sydenham was a 'great' but nothing like that goal to make him a legend. Shilton? Not even one of our own, probably a legend with Notts Forest

[Badger]

Not a legend per se but could U be Uwe Rosler (I know completely contradicts the rules stated but clutching at straws).

 

I thought he scored the last goal at The Dell v Brighton. A tenuous link to 'justify' his inclusion.
