I was watching a motd re run of the highlights of our trip to goodison park in 85/86 earlier today. Chris Nicholl was the manager and there was a shot of him on the bench with his assistant manager. I can't find who it was, any ideas? Also the keeper was a third choice 17 year old called Granger....id never heard of him.

The keeper was Keith Granger ended up working in docks. We got battered i his debut I think.

Indeed, but he was to have a far more profound impact on Saints history, than a couple of appearances............

 

Keith had a training school in Winchester and also did some work for Saints. It was a bounced cheque to him for £500 that put Saints into administration.

 

The rest is history .....................

I think Grainger only played twice. From memory let in 6 at Everton and the following week 5 at spurs, with Shilton missing a rare couple of matches.

 

The game at spurs (5-3?) was my first ‘run of the mill’ away game. Went with a mate who knew Keith a bit.

 

Barton was my guess too. Hadn’t heard the bouncing cheque story.
