St Landrew Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 (edited) After the last day's news, I'm sure we're all a bit washed out and lacking in enthusiasm. So if you wish to nominate the B-Team left side striker, then do so. If you don't, I quite understand. This thread will end Sunday evening. EDIT: For those who missed it, here's the A-Team line up: -------------------Shilton--------------------- Golac-------Wright--------Svensson-----Bridge Paine---------Ball---------Le Tissier---Armstrong ------------Channon--------Davies------------- http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=8375 Edited 24 January, 2009 by St Landrew
mynameisthehulk Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 Rod Wallace I dont want this to seem like spam, so I would like to give some reasons why. 1 - Made a lot of space for Matty 2 - Great pace 3 - Could finish 4 - Abilty to play well either on the right or up front 5 - Brave, was never afraid to go up against much bigger opponents 6 - Part of the most insane formation in history
Saint_clark Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 who is the right forward? Keegan. For left side, I will say Pahars as well.
TijuanaTim Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 Keegan. For left side, I will say Pahars as well. Thanks mate, in that case instead of going for the consummate modern 'small' forward Moran, I will plump for Martin Chivers to have a class big fellow to partner Keggy...
paulwantsapint Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 Well to follow Club Policy Of Promote From Accademy/ Reserves DMG On second thoughts why not go double geordie instead of dutch ALAN SHEARER
St Landrew Posted 24 January, 2009 Author Posted 24 January, 2009 Thanks mate, in that case instead of going for the consummate modern 'small' forward Moran, I will plump for Martin Chivers to have a class big fellow to partner Keggy... Then I will go for Steve Moran, as he was KK's strike partner. And a brilliant partnership they were. Remember..? 1981-82 PFA Player of the Year - Kevin Keegan 1981-82 PFA Young Player of the Year - Steve Moran How's that for a bit of spamming..? Says it all really.
rpb Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 I'm torn between Chivers and Shearer - as I can only nominate one, I think it will be Chivers.
SNSUN Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 Going to go for another great I never got to see, Steve Moran. Since supporting them, It has got to be a toss up between Beatts, Pahars and Ostenstadt but judging from video footage, books and legend, Moran has to be in there.
TopGun Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 (edited) Steve Moran. Far better than anything more recent with possible exception of Pahars at his best. I feel an honourable mention should be made to Phil Boyer though too as he worked his socks off every game (a free goal scoring Brett although I would never deride the effort Ormerod put in to help BT). Edited 24 January, 2009 by TopGun
krissyboy31 Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 I can't really go for Chivers because I only saw him play live once and that was for Spurs. Moran and Pahars have been mentioned but I'm going to go for Frankie Worthington. Only played for us for a short while and was past his best but his touch and vision was as good, if not better, than any player I've seen pull on the famous red and white.
krissyboy31 Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 George O'Brien or Derek Reeves Or Charlie Wayman? All before my time but great strikers, all the same.
Minsk Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 I might not vote for him when it comes down to it, but just so he is in the running I will give a second nomination of: Shearer
rpb Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 Or Charlie Wayman? All before my time but great strikers, all the same. My mum would have nominated him but I don't think StL accepts nominations from beyond the grave.
John Cool Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 Shearer, Walcott and Jones all prospered after leaving Saints, but Rodders had his best years with us, and he was a terrace fave of mine. So I second Rod Wallace.
St Landrew Posted 24 January, 2009 Author Posted 24 January, 2009 My mum would have nominated him but I don't think StL accepts nominations from beyond the grave. Your mum's nomination is good enough for me..!
SarniaSaint Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 I'm torn between Chivers and Shearer - as I can only nominate one, I think it will be Chivers. Agree difficult decision, but I'll go for Chivers.
St Landrew Posted 24 January, 2009 Author Posted 24 January, 2009 who is the right forward? Oh, btw, just a reminder of the B-Team so far: ----------------------Niemi---------------------- Dodd------Lundekvam------Watson---------Dennis D.Wallace----Williams---------Case--------Marsden --------------Keegan-----------?----------------- I just wonder whether this team hasn't got just a bit more grit than the A-Team to overcome them. Still, after this vote we have subs and managers to go, so there's still room for variation.

If Jim Steele Sydenham and David Webb were playing I would agree Osgood or Chivers with Keegan I would have thought
AussieDog Posted 25 January, 2009 Posted 25 January, 2009 Although my vote is likely to go with Steve Moran, I thought I would chuck another name into the hat....Peter Osgood. Honorable mention for Ted McDougall, too. Another lazy git who just happened to score goals for fun....lol
Big Ron fan Posted 25 January, 2009 Posted 25 January, 2009 Big Chiv for me, but virtually all the other nominees are very worthy also.
John B Posted 25 January, 2009 Posted 25 January, 2009 Big Chiv for me, but virtually all the other nominees are very worthy also. Shame we do not have any good strikers today. I think I even might have Keith Cassells in todays team
norwaysaint Posted 25 January, 2009 Posted 25 January, 2009 Shayne Bradley Good call, has to be one of our most gifted strikers of all time and a natural in the left striker role. Never got the full credit he deserved and probably won't get in with all the short memoried fans here. Bradley for me too.

St Landrew Posted 25 January, 2009 Author Posted 25 January, 2009 Shayne Bradley Shayne Bradley. Thanks guys. Attempts to hi-jack the thread will be seen through faster than you can say infraction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shayne_Bradley
St Landrew Posted 25 January, 2009 Author Posted 25 January, 2009 I thought this was a democracy. It's a democracy with rules. The rules being the greatest ever players to have played for Saints in living memory. Not somebody's mate.
John B Posted 25 January, 2009 Posted 25 January, 2009 I can't really go for Chivers because I only saw him play live once and that was for Spurs. Moran and Pahars have been mentioned but I'm going to go for Frankie Worthington. Only played for us for a short while and was past his best but his touch and vision was as good, if not better, than any player I've seen pull on the famous red and white. Chivers was a very good footballer good in the air and had very good ball control I saw him score a great goal in 1964 v Man Utd in the cup down the Dell at the Archers Road end beat a couple of players then hit a left footed screamer in the top left hand corner. Ossie was past his best when he came to us but in the 1960s he was a player people went to watch and paid money to see him. Likewise as you say with Worthington As Chivers is a Southampton Boy as well I will go for him
St Landrew Posted 25 January, 2009 Author Posted 25 January, 2009 Thank you. Nominations are now closed. Voting will begin shortly and end Friday night/Saturday morning.
