Recommended Posts

Malbranque, Fletcher, Saha... De Pedro? Andy Reid.

 

Locally, in my time, Brian Stock (who was a year above me in school) and Brian Howard, who I played with at local level football for a time. Damn Howard, his left foot was slightly better than mine!

We never let Any reid ' get away' he turned us down.

How many players in this thread turned us down ? isn't this the ones that got away thread?

I read the other day that Gareth Taylor was released by Saints.

 

I'm pretty sure that Le Saux said that Saints turned him down when he was a nipper.

 

Gareth Taylor was on Soccer am some years ago and said he used to clean MLT's boots during his Dell days.

Gareth Taylor is in - we need a bigger subs bench or a reserve team now (unless he can play in goal).

 

1) Kevin Pressman

2) Darren Anderton

3) Graham Roberts

4) Jody Craddock

5) Gareth Southgate

6) Dennis Wise

7) Wade Elliott

8 ) Brian Howard

9 ) Kevin Phillips

10) Paul Rideout

11) Steve Guppy

Roy Hambly...A great great player who was never given a chance at youth or reserve level.....Went on or returned to that great club Cowes and was IOW player of the year many times....Saints always missed the really best..just ask big John...GM..wasted talent.
Could he play in goal?

I think Kaka has got to be top of the tree on this one. Think Lowe also refused to fork out £5m Rosicky.

 

And Jason St Juste. Have he and Simon Clifford conquered the world yet?

 

 

As far as I understood it WGS wanted Rosicky before he made his big money move to Germany so was never really any chance we'd get him.

 

Can't say I've ever heard the Kaka story anyone care to enlighten me?!

Well I hope David McGoldrick isn't gonna deserve a place on this post in the future...I was interested to see what the forset fans think of him and here's their response;

 

'He's been one of our best players this season by all accounts. I've only seen him once - last week at QPR, but he seems to have adapted well.'

 

'I think McGoldrick looks to be a bargain at £1m.'

 

'That lads doing well, thanks for asking. Good luck for the season.'

 

'a couple of solid tackles today looked pretty decent all season so far though to be fair to him'

 

Oh dear!

You think you're bad do you? We disbanded our youth team with the wise words from our manager, that there was nothing to be found in the Portsmouth area but fish. So we released on the same day for nothing young Peter Shilton and young Mick Mills. ffffggggarrrrrrrgggghhh. lol at us.

 

 

Mmmmm ..with over 200 England caps between them, that must be some sort of record.

 

Who was the smart manager who made that decision ?

Bitterne Park Comprehensive. Class of 87 if I remeber correctly

 

Definitely Bitterne Park, right from infants to comprehensive schools. I used to play against him when we were kids, either down Riverside Park, or the school sports field. He was about 4 years younger than me and my mates and he used to run rings around us. His parents used to live (and still do I think) in Oaktree Road, his father ran a removal business and later went on to be a cabbie.

Gazza had a trial here but ended up in goal to make up the numbers, hence never got through.

 

Not true, already said this before. It was Shearer who ended up in goal at Newcastle and so then came down here, Gazza was offered a trial down here but did not want to come. Thems the facts.
