Both saints fans I believe Sicknote is about 4 years younger than me, and lived just around the corner (the clue is in my username), I've known him since First school. He would destroy us in jumpers-for-goalposts games in riverside park or in the school field. We have a mutual friend who was his best friend from back then, and still is to this day. He was/is a Spurs fan and was thrilled when DA went there. Last i heard DA was earning £3k a pop for giving corporate/motivational speeches, wiki has him currently living in The States. Another Bitterne Park boy, who was definitely a Saints fan was Leroy Whale, but don't think he made it to the first team, another one you couldn't get the ball off in playground matches.

niceandfriendly Posted 9 January, 2023 Share Posted 9 January, 2023 Vernon is indeed a Bolton fan but his uncle and cousins are all Saints supporters so he has affection for the club. Usually gets down for a couple games per season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Darren Anderton outside his parents home whilst I was doing my paper round ahead of the spurs game against us at the Dell in the 1998-99 season. Was star struck as a kid seeing an England international hanging about Oaktree Road, me and my mate I was with ended up asking his dad if he had any autographs we could have. Nowadays i’d probably just call him a skate bastard. In response to Turkish I didn’t realise Aaron Flahavan was a fellow Bitterne Parker, and that his funeral was at St James Church, all kind of passed me by at the time.

LGTL Posted 10 January, 2023 Share Posted 10 January, 2023 The days of Saints players actually being Saints fans are getting more rare aren't they, I suppose that was always going to happen with the scouting system these days.

We would often see him out down here (during his Birmingham & Wolves days, before he signed for Bournemouth) and he said he would come back south to see family/friends, but couldn't drink in Southampton (as the locals see him as a Skate) and he couldn't drink in Portsmouth (as the locals see him as a Scummer - they knew he was a Saints fan). Thought it was quite funny at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
