Badger Posted 23 June, 2022 Share Posted 23 June, 2022 When I first started watching Saints, late60's, the player who already had a 'legacy' with Saints fans was Mike Summerbee. Never forget seeing Man City at THe Dell for the first time, game going on and fairly uneventful until Summerbee gets the ball and the crowd just burst into a spontaneous booing and abuse. A few years later, and he passed the baton to another City player, Rodney Marsh. I think that reached its peak when he played for Fulham with Best and Moore.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 28 June, 2022 Author Share Posted 28 June, 2022 Charlie Austin - bang average for the last six or seven years. Gives it the old billy big bollocks and hasn't backed it up. Can't take any form of criticism. Has just gone to retire and put on a few more kilos in the Aussie A-League. Also Jack Grealish again, just because why not. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my first footballing memories is seeing Dennis Hollywood and Sumerbee walking up the tunnel together after their traditional red cards .

Seem to remember him getting merciless abuse when he next came to the dell (was it for everton by then?) and he ended up getting red carded if memory serves Blackburn played at The Dell towards the end of the season, and were slaughtered 5-0, but most people at the match only spoke of one thing and that was the relentless abuse at Bailey throughout the game. I really wanted to go to that match, but as a student at the time had a job on the Saturday so had to go back for that. It was about the only time I thought of playing a 'sickie' , even considered telling them to stick the job as there were more important things in life( Saints and beer at the time..), but a couple of relatives persuaded me out of it. One of the great games that season but I had to miss it. Bailey really did get a lot of flak for years to come. I think he became even more dislikable at Everton.

Bad Wolf Posted 28 June, 2022 Share Posted 28 June, 2022 Ricardo Fuller anyone? Not the PL anymore but always hated him. Not just because of his trying to score from a drop ball that he was meant to give back to us that one time but just generally came across a bit of a tit. Annoyingly brilliant on his day though.

Bad Wolf Posted 28 June, 2022 Share Posted 28 June, 2022 Everyone seems to dislike Gareth Bale at the moment for having the cheek to choose his own career path. I think it's terrible that he wants to get as much money as he possibly can whilst spending a year in a City that lots of people dream of holidaying in in order to play for his country in the first world cup in decades. Disgusting behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true, what a great story for the grandkids and one to include in a pub quiz. Although, just googled it and this appears to be the consensus: The first person in England to receive a red card was Blackburn player Dave Wagstaff, on October 2nd in a game against Leyton Orient.The English FA stopped the use of red and yellow cards in 1981 as it was feared that these were part of the problem with crowd violence.In 1987 "the International Board, the rule-making body of the international game, said that England was out of step and should reintroduce cards for the 1987-88 season". Therefor the card system was reintroduced and the first player to get a red card after this was Luton Town's Mick Hartford who was sent off after just four minutes of the opening day of fixtures.

Yes red cards came in later, but are now very much in the vocabulary. A few years ago, I watched a full replay of the 66 World Cup final, and screamed no at the TV when Banks went to pick up a back pass.

A few years ago, I watched a full replay of the 66 World Cup final, and screa,Ed no at the TV when Banks went to pick up a back pass. I remember watching the rerun a few years ago, and the thing that stood out were the fairly hefty challenges going in without malice or reaction from either team. Everyone got up shrugged it off and got on with the game. Pretty sure there were no subs permitted back them so Alf (before the knighthood before I'm called disrespectful) and Hemut Schoen selected their XI who they trusted to go the course. When people marvel at Alan Ball, and Nobby Styles energy during the match it's worth remembering (without taking anything away from them) there wasn't another choice for them or the mangers. No managers in waistcoats to tinker and bugger around to disrupt the teams rythem. Also saw an old England-Scotland match on youtube from the early 1960's , one of the full backs was injured early on and spent the rest of the match hobbling round, I think Kenneth Wolstenholme made reference to "the poor fellow can barely walk..". Puts a different light on the play acting pansies rolling around now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we're both sad anoraks remembering such detail, but trouble is the recollections of Saints from the 1960's/70's/80's is much more enjoyable than anything now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, someone posted a photo of a 3 nil win at Ipswich in 84 on the Archive last week. I went to every single game, home and away that season and have no recollection of the game at all . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
