bpsaint Posted 23 November, 2022 Posted 23 November, 2022 Saints have just posted this online, good little watch if you’ve got a spare 10 minutes. Good to see Antti looking well, he comes across really modest too. There’s a decent one with Beattie too. 5
The Cat Posted 23 November, 2022 Posted 23 November, 2022 Best keeper we've had since Tim Flowers by a long way. 5

Badger Posted 23 November, 2022 Posted 23 November, 2022 Certainly my favourite GK in the time I've followed Saints (1960's). I know some will shout this down but on their performances for us - as opposed to throughout their career - I'd pick Niemi over Shilton every time.
Miltonaggro Posted 23 November, 2022 Posted 23 November, 2022 Class act, great keeper, inspired confidence in a relatively limited side, just what we’ve needed for years.

The Cat Posted 24 November, 2022 Posted 24 November, 2022 "What do you say when people say you should never get beaten at the near post?" "It's not true, it's something people used to say in the 70's and 80's" 😂😂😂 Can we finally put that myth to bed now please, and can everyone who has ever written that on here please go back and edit all their posts and let me know when they have finished? Thank you. 1 1
Mr Saints Posted 24 November, 2022 Posted 24 November, 2022 What a keeper. I loved that Strachan side. 1
Micky Posted 24 November, 2022 Posted 24 November, 2022 That's how we used to be built, top quality goalkeeper, strong reliable defence, the rest would pretty much look after itself then. How we could learn something from those days.
sambosa75 Posted 25 November, 2022 Posted 25 November, 2022 Good to see. You don't really see the club engaging a great deal with players from times gone by. Its a shame as there are probably some quite interesting stories to tell.

St David 46 Posted 26 November, 2022 Posted 26 November, 2022 I'd say he was Saints best ever goalkeeper. Although his afternoon at fratton park in April 2005 was not his finest hour (90 minutes).

More likely he made himself look a bit stupid so claimed it was a joke. Either way Niemi is easily the best keeper saints have had in my lifetime supporting. Remember singing we've got the best keeper in the world and actually meaning it. He was unbelievable. Best save Ive ever seen has to go to Paul Jones at old Trafford.

I remember they stopped a load of us getting in and by time I got my seat I saw us going 2-0 down. If memory serves me right it was the same game crouch had the phantom injury warming up because he didn't have the bollocks to play. How we needed a benali or a Terry hurlock in that game
