Gemmel Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Not including the board, shareholders, or previous chairmen, directors etc, (There's enough threads on them) but i read a name on here today that put me in a bad mood as soon as i saw it and was thinking of players, ex managers, that Saints fans have hated or grown to hate over the years. Any advance on these five? (Not in any particular order) 1) Adrian Heath (Little *****) 2) Alan Bailey (Biley? Everton) 3) Ian Branfoot 4) Paul Davis 5) Ricardo Fuller ( More recently) Darren Anderton, got some proper stick when he went to Spurs, but never did anything against Saints

ladysaint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Another one I have always disliked was Mickey Thomas
Badger Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Mike Sumerbee always received a lot stick at The Dell during my early years,never knew the full history of that.
VectisSaint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Ian Branfoot Peter Reid Rupert Lowe Mike Wilde Rodney Marsh
harvey Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Roger Milford (dodgy 80's ref) Rodney Marsh Paul Walsh Roger Milford :shock:..........Maybe it's just me, but I seem to remember Late 80's early 90's, we seemed to regularly end up playing Luton or Derby in evening cup ties & Mr Milford always seemed to be the ref.
Legod Third Coming Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 John Bailey of Blackburn and Everton. Alan Biley of Skates and ridiculous Rod Stewart hair. I would have said Tina Turner myself...
Spudsaint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 David Speedie & Kerry Dixon (will get more goals than Shearer. Yeah, right)
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Rupert Lowe Mark Wottethefookareyoudoinghere? Yakubu Lua Lua John Gregory Milan Manda***** Bagpuss Redknapp Kevin Phillips John Bailey Mark Lawrenson Roy Keane Robbie Savage Lee Bowyer
SamKimish Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Phil Neville - I swear that the majority of his goals for United came against Saints, all hit from about 30 yards aswell! Reminds me of a conversation about players that always score against us ...
Lets B Avenue Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 John Bailey of Blackburn and Everton. Alan Biley of Skates and ridiculous Rod Stewart hair. You cant hate Biley. Remember the 3 sitters he missed at Farton in the 84 cup match
um pahars Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Nah he wasnt definaley playing for Everton when he came to the Dell 1982 ish and the whole ground to a man sang, Bailey is ****** for something that had happened in a previous game (got three Saints players sent off or something like that) It stemmed from when he was playing for Blackburn in the late 70's (I think 1977). Bailey had wound up a young Steve Williams who was then sent off. I think Osgood then chinned Bailey as he was so annoyed and also got sent off. The two of them then trashed the dressing room!!!!! Ossie was soon transfer listed and the hatred of Bailey never went away. I think Lawrie publicly said something along the lines of "Bailey shouldn't sleep easily in his bed tonight for what he did to his fellow professionals". Heard a few years ago that Bailey had fallen on really hard times (I think he was an acoholic and in a very bad way). Therefore as much as he got stick off me in the 70's and 80's. I think I'll leave him out of my list. My top three would be: 1. Adrian Heath - He ruined a dream for me 2. Roger Milford - For playing those extra 16 minutes against Oldham 3. Andy Ricthie - For scoring in those extra 16 minutes
Gemmel Posted 17 February, 2009 Author Posted 17 February, 2009 I repeat JOHN BAILEY Yes mate, i ackonowledged i was wrong with the first name 20 posts ago
smithy Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Scott Gemmill Yes Gemmill!! ZDS Cup Final...You Cyunt!

Mole Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Hassan Kachloul and Eyal Berkovic. Two ex players i don't particularly like.
The Milkybarkid Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 For me it's: Kevin Phillips John Bailey Ian Branfoot Allan Knight - met him once in Petersfield - t**t Harry FatChopp Tony Cottee 'cos he always seemed to score against us

But times a great healer, and it gives me no pleasure to hear he has problems.

I think I'll leave him out of my list. The return game was on 1st april in our promotion run. I hadnt been (or since) that early for a match. As the teams came out to warm up @ 2.15 the whole ground started "We hate Bailey". Even Grannies in the west stand were joining in. I was down by the the tunnel and when they came off he looked bloody worried. It carried on once the game started, every time he got anywhere near the ball and also affected Blackburn as a team. We ****ed all over them and won 5-0. We didnt see him again until he moved to Everton and he copped a load at Highbury in the 84 S/F.

Being a full back at the Dell meant he couldn't hide from the stick he used to receive. I was in the West Stand for one match against Everton, and it has to be the most vociferous stick I have ever witnessed at a match. As you say it was literally everyone in the ground. I used to work with an Everton fan and he couldn't believe the stick Bailey used to get even though it 7 or 8 years on!!!

I remember queuing up to get the players's autographs after that match. A young lad came up to Bailey after that match and asked for his autograph and Bailey replied "you won't boo me will you ??" I bet he had.
Tamesaint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Yes mate, i ackonowledged i was wrong with the first name 20 posts ago Sorry mate. I just get worked up when I hear / read that name!!!
Lets B Avenue Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Another one we ued to abuse from under the west was Alan Groves, Oldham circa 76. Not only did he look like a refugee from the Hair-Bear Bunch, but he got caught by the NOTW for shacking up with his 16 year old paper girl!! Loads of stick from us (Hi Polly) but sadly died in 78 of a heart attack aged 30. Moral: leave the fit young ones alone.

Badger Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 A player I detested in the 80's was Ian Rush.
um pahars Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 A player I detested in the 80's was Ian Rush. I had him down as my number 4. and then deleted him. I have to agree he had a real wnk attitude (whingeing, could dish it out but couldn't hack it given back) whenever I saw him play down here and I may be wrong, but was sure he always scored against us!!!!!! Graham Sharpe of Everton was a similar player. Didn't Case or someone absolutley murder him (or was it Bracewell) up at Goodison in one game???
Lets B Avenue Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Paul Dickov is another little s.h.i.t Ive grown less than fond of over the years. Although he did miss the pen against Grobbelar the 1st game after the bung story broke and half of Fleet Street were here for the story.
Rogerfryisalegend Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 I agree with a fair few of the above, Just like to add Brian Robson to that list.
diggers Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Paul Walsh Steve (the ****) Claridge Kevin Phillips Gary Neville Adrian Heath
Badger Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Graham Sharpe of Everton was a similar player. Didn't Case or someone absolutley murder him (or was it Bracewell) up at Goodison in one game??? I just hated Everton.1984 and all that. AND JOHN BAILEY WAS OF COURSE A PART OF THAT TEAM.
Lets B Avenue Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Brian Talbot. talentless t*at that kept being picked for England over Stevie Williams
Lets B Avenue Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Bu**er me! He's just turned up on ESPN playing against Ipswich 1980.
um pahars Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Brian Talbot. talentless t*at that kept being picked for England over Stevie Williams I have to say that I quite liked him and the same can be said about John Wile. My appreciation of Talbot stems from that 1978 Semi Final when he scored the goal (at Highbury I think) against West Brom and in doing so collided with Wile and both of them ended up with really bad cuts. I'm sure Talbot was totally out of it, but ended up a hero even though he was stretchered off, whilst Wile just put a bandage on his head and played on!!!!!!
