Happy Birthday Rickie! It's hard to imagine where we would be without this guy, and he just seems to get better with age, he's lost the weight and improved his all-round play since Adkins arrived. Surely one of our best signings at £1m and one who will be remembered for a long time? He's put the meaning back in the shirt and whoever picks up the #7 after Rickie is going to have big boots to step into! Thanks for the past 2 seasons Rickie, and I hope that he and Saints can enjoy a few more happy seasons! Happy Birthday! Let's hope he wants to celebrate with some goals on Saturday.
137 Appearances - 74 Goals Penalty wise I believe it is either 22/22 or 24/24, I can't remember which, sorry.
I don't know about other seasons but in this season in all competitions he has 20 goals and 10 assists.
Official Football League credited stats - 09/10 - 30 goals (1st in league, 1st in team) 12 assists (5th in league, 2nd in team) 10/11 - 21 goals (T3rd in league, 1st in team) 11 assists (T8th in league, 2nd in team) 11/12 - 16 goals (1st in league, 1st in team) 8 assists (T5th in league, 2nd in team)
Happy birthday Rickie you star. You are an absolute all-time Saints legend already, and I fully expect you to break Micky Channon's goalscoring record for this club one day in the Premier league.
Was playing FIFA earlier and Martin Tyler on the commentary said it's his birthday today! Nice touch!
Happy Birthday Rickie. It's a shame we're not celebrating your 25th birthday and that your superb skills were discovered relatively late in your career, but then again, better late than never. You're the best advert that the attention shouldn't be almost exclusively on the Premier League, because there are gems out here like you.
