    I'd argue that King Kev was at his peak when he played for us, he was fantastic and won PFA Player of the Year.

    For sure, signed as that years Ballon D’or winner so defo at height of his career. It’s more the others in that list that went onto achieve greater things after their time with Saints. Wouldn’t be a bad 5 a side that right…

    I think that Shilts gets forgotten too but he won 49 of his England caps with us and was World Class.

    Very true! Is actually so difficult to fit them all into 5, we’ve had some unbelievable players over the years

    I think a more appropriate description would be “not the most gifted of footballers”

    He would have been one of the first on the teamsheet every time

    and he scored a goal <diva>

    Nah mate, wrong side of the water for me. That side is too close to the skates :bandit:

    It's just a part of the city that sounds like the score from our last match at Fratton. Think @Che’s Godlike Thighs came up with it.

    When you’re from Thornhill, like me, 4-0 has always been in our blood.

    If we're doing personal favourite Saints players:

    1 - MLT
    2 - Killer
    3 - Monkou
    4 - Ronnie Ekelund
    5 - Alexander Ostlund/Van Gobbel

    If we're doing best ever:

    1 - MLT
    2 - Channon
    3 - Keegan
    4 - Williams
    5 - SRL

    If we're doing Saints Legends, regardless of ability:

    1 - MLT
    2 - Channon
    3 - Benali
    4 - SRL
    5 - Stokes

    I would tend to agree with all of that, but it is definitely an age thing, as (although I am older than you), we are from the same era.

    To be fair, I would look ridiculous without hair and LTL wouldn’t look right with it. My ears are too big and my head shape all wrong.
