Cabrone Posted 10 April, 2020 Share Posted 10 April, 2020 Only top flight team in the modern era to have played 3 brothers together (apparently Boro played 3 in 1920, Jacky, William and George Carr).

sandwichsaint Posted 11 April, 2020 Share Posted 11 April, 2020 Are we the only club to have installed a full under-soil heating system, presumably to meet some sort of UEFA stipulation, and then have never connected/commissioned it? I think I'm right in saying that we've never had a game frozen/snowed off at SMS? Because we are a) so close to the Itchen and b) at an altitude of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvSFC Posted 11 April, 2020 Share Posted 11 April, 2020 We had a match postponed while in League One against Huddersfield at St Mary's, but it was generally thought that it was for other reasons, as stated we have undersoil heating and had played matches in worse conditions prior. We then beat them 5-0 in March, so worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 20 April, 2020 Share Posted 20 April, 2020 Quickest goal conceded from the opposition’s goalkeeper? Just read that the Begovic goal is also the longest distance record holder: ‘His goal - which was aided by the wind - was measured at 91.9m (301ft 6in).‘ So that’s the ‘goal conceded from the furthest distance’ record.

vince Posted 17 May, 2021 Share Posted 17 May, 2021 I discovered over the weekend that we hold the record for the longest gap between our first appearance in an FA Cup Final and winning it for the first time, 76 years. Leicester were getting close, on 72 years but they have foolishly given up the chance of taking this honour from us by actually winning the thing a few years too soon!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordic Saint Posted 17 May, 2021 Share Posted 17 May, 2021 (edited) First British club to tour South America. We beat Argentina 8-0 in Buenos Aires in 1904, which is the record victory by any English team against them. The England national team have never beaten them by more than a 2-goal margin. From the early 20th century, when Saints were one of the best teams in the world, we hold record English victories againt several national teams. We beat Hungary 13-0 in Budapest in 1901 and France 11-0 in Paris in 1904.
