Maybe I suffer from irrational penalty miss phobia? I’m my defence MLT and SRL followed by Dusan being our 1st choice would test anyone’s mettle
Not forgetting Beattie and Pahars who both had a 100% record. We were spoiled for quite a while, as soon as the ref pointed you knew we had a goal
Ah, the old days of the Saints penalty and guaranteed goal. When we stared missing them a couple of seasons back it came as a real shock.

... and then saw him off https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/f...nned-Newcastle-with-two-remarkable-goals.html
This match is my favourite Le Tiss memory. I told him this recently, and he said he totally fluffed the first goal. He tried to volley it at the end but the ball came off the sole of his boot and he scuffed it in!
I sometimes, briefly, forget the genius of Matt Le Tissier. I am blessed to have been around to witness him first hand as without doubt in my mind he is the most gifted footballer I have ever seen week in, week out. We have had more recent No7s that I adore (SRL), but I don't think anyone comes close to the genius of MLT.
Yeah, I've heard him say that several times. I wish he wasn't quite so honest about it because, for me, the fact that he stroked the ball in made it all the greater goal.
Went to the game Saturday with the missus, my daughter and my nephew. I emailed the club last week letting them know it was the wife's birthday and the children's first game. I got an email back saying that someone would come and see us before kick off. Sure enough a young lad came to see us with a hand written birthday card for the wife with 6 signatures in it. ( no idea whose signatures they are) and 2 goody bags for the kids. The goody bags were awesome and contained 2 big posters a saints rubber duck, a saints wash bag, some face paint and a saints bluetooth water proof speaker. I reckon about £50 worth of gear for each child. I emailed Saints this morning thanking them for the gifts and within 20 minutes i received an email back thanking me for my email. I will post a picture of the card in a bit to see if anyone can identify the signatures.
Image of card attached. I can't recognise any of the signatures. I'm thinking it might be Doris the tea lady and maybe Wendy the receptionist?
