ozzmeister Posted 15 June, 2018 Share Posted 15 June, 2018 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 A B C D E F G H I J K L - (Matt) LeTissier M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 15 June, 2018 Share Posted 15 June, 2018 We don't have 26 legends. The whole point of being a legend is that you are memorable and rare. 10 at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 16 June, 2018 Share Posted 16 June, 2018 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 Posted 16 June, 2018 Share Posted 16 June, 2018 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.

Hamilton Saint Posted 16 June, 2018 Share Posted 16 June, 2018 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).

ozzmeister Posted 17 June, 2018 Author Share Posted 17 June, 2018 Not a legend per se but could U be Uwe Rosler (I know completely contradicts the rules stated but clutching at straws). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellman Posted 17 June, 2018 Share Posted 17 June, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 17 June, 2018 Share Posted 17 June, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
