That's why you want to be in the top flight, moments like that are incredible.

Plus this season the FA Cup is wide open, would have been a great opportunity to go for it and make history, but here we are praying we aren't quite as bad as Billy Davies' Derby County with our season all but written off in November. 1

Probably more further back in the Fairs Cup. Hate it when the club is in its complacent/dozing phases. Hopefully there’s a 09-17 or a 76-85 around the corner. Even an 86-91 or 99-04 would do. 1
spyinthesky Posted February 21 Posted February 21 On the Financial front wasn't Mervyn King. ex Governor of the Bank of England, a Saints fan as is Ken Bruce's son, although no financial connection there!!!

Expand I remember the name but hadn’t heard that before. Wikipedia says he’s a Villa fan. You’re not confusing him with Gavyn Davies are you ? He was a City name ( Goldman Sachs) and often mentioned in finance articles.

Tamesaint Posted February 21 Posted February 21 A few years ago the Chairman of the BBC was a Saints fan (Christopher Bland) was a Saints fan. When he resigned he was replaced by Gavyn Davies - another Saints fan. 1
suewhistle Posted February 21 Posted February 21 The San Siro and the birreria Lambrate full of Saints fans was fun, but not so many at the Thun pre-season friendly.. Steve Grant ISTR, Swiss Saint, and random others. But they'd better hurry up before we all get too old.
