Dr. Kucho Posted Friday at 17:08 Share Posted Friday at 17:08 What’s the Saints XI team vs the worst XI, made of players who have played for us in the time you’ve supported our beloved club? I started watching Saints in 2003 (so sadly didn’t see Le Tiss etc) and the best vs worst I could come up with are, Best team, Niemi, Clyne, Van Dijk, Fonte, Shaw, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Tadic, Lallana, Mane, Pelle Manager: Koeman Worst team Forecast Wright, Davenport, Bennett,Bernard, Smith, Pulis, Euell, Mccan, Carrillo, Patterson Manager: Wigley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkeith Posted Sunday at 12:30 Share Posted Sunday at 12:30 Best team Shilton Golac M Wright Van Dyke Dennis S Williams D Armstrong Le TIssier Paine R Davis Channon Manager Lawrie Mac Worst top flight team ( not counting players that didn't have a run of Games ) Bazunu Kenton Davenport Johanson Todd Groves Quashie Redknapp ( 2nd Half) Mc Cann Dixon M Hughes Manager Nathan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted Sunday at 12:58 Share Posted Sunday at 12:58 I'm going to discount players who never actually made an appearance (Aledine Yahia anyone?) and temporary managers (Dodd/Gorman, Kelvin etc.) Best - Manager Poch : Niemi Clyne Toby Virgil Bridge Wanyama Morgan Mane Davis Tiss* Beattie *If I'm being completely honest he was past his best in the time I've been into football but you can't not include Tiss. Worst - Manager Mad Nate: Blayney James Lancashire Powell O'Halloran Euell Liptak* Wright R. Smith White Bignall *I have no idea what position he was supposed to be playing and I'm not sure he did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s incredibly sad to know how good that team/management combo was compared to where we are now. If the club had supported Koeman and kept the impetus, just think what we may have achieved.

Gloucester Saint Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago (edited) Best (top flight) Manager: Lawrie Shilton Dennis VVD Wright KWP Armstrong, Morgan, MLT D Wallace Moran Beattie Subs: Flowers, Lambert (Beattie just pipped him), Case (close run with Morgan), M Svensson, Pahars, Fonte, Bertrand, Rod Wallace, Lallana, Tadic, Mane, S Davis, Pelle, Monkou, Bridge, Niemi (two keepers on the bench but you can’t leave Antti out), Glenn Cockerill (80s), Statham, Ostenstad, Dean Richards, Clyne, JWP Worst (top flight) Manager: Russell Martin Bazanu Bernard, Hoedt, Jakobsson, S Baker Mccann, Quashie, Lesley, David Lee Carrillo BBD Subs: Blayney, Lemina (should have been a shoe in but Lesley nicked his spot by looking like he’s won a prize to play), Dixon (half pissed and addicted to gambling but just slightly better than BBD), Steve Wood(hoof!), Moody, Todd, Ely, Kenton, Ross Stewart, Speedie, Cherednik, Lyanco, Davenport, Van Damme (never has a name been less apt, just as bad at Wolves), Ray Wallace, Nilsson Edited 22 hours ago by Gloucester Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) Time wise - My first game was when we beat Arsenal at the Dell 1-0 in 1994... interlude to that actually being basically 30years ago to the day (😨!!) and now i feel old 😂. Niemi Clyne Fonte VVD Shaw Morgan Wanyama Mane Le Tissier Tadic Lambert Honourable mentions to Dean Richards, Michael Svensson, Toby (we've had some damn decent CB's in our time) Beattie, Bridge, KWP (and full backs) Pelle - All of which immediatley sprung to mind as contenders but didn't quite cut the mustard. The joys of awful teams is that you tend to forget them. Doubtless i could plumb the depths of our championship and premier league relegation seasons and find some stinker picks mind.

benjii Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago (edited) -----------Beattie----------- Mane-----Le Tiss-----Pahars -------Morgan---Ekelund---- Bale-Van Dick-M Svennson-Doddsy -----------Niemi----------- Based on players at their peak. Pelle probably better player than Beattie overall, but Beattie's best season for us was fantastic. Sub: Flowers, Richards, Shaw, Bridge, Wanyama, Lallana, Lambert, Pelle, Tadic Honourable mentions: Alderweireld, Oakley, Clyne, Kachlouol, Fonte, Davis, JWP, Berkovic.
