    If professional players were only allowed to play for the club they support , what would saints team look like ? Just a random thought I had.

    Well, it would be quite hard to prove anyone doesn't support the team they are currently employed by, so pretty much the same I'd imagine!

    Can't do current players. Recent-ish players:

    Maik Taylor

    Jason Dodd Jody Craddock Franny Benali


    Struggling, need more time to think of this

    Lallana's an Everton fan. I can't imagine Bale would have been a fan before joining us.

    I know Lukas Jutkiewicz is a Saints fan. Can't think of too many others, though I'm sure they must be out there somewhere.

    Poke?
    Chambers Turnbull Mugabi? Shaw
    Lallana Surman Chamberlain Bale
    Walcott Jutkiewicz

    Being very presumptuous there. I have no idea if they're actually all childhood fans of the club. Pretty sure Chamberlain's a Pompey fan and Walcott's an Arsenal fan.

    What I do know is that Dennis Bergkamp was a true Spurs fan before he ended up in Arsenal...
    And if my memory is correct John Terry grew up supporting Man United...?

    Not on topic I know :)

    Probably quite a slow midfield. ;) Though FLT actually played I think so he'll hold them together.

    Damn good in attack though.

    Walcott supports Liverpool. Chamberlain supports Chelsea because of Gianfranco Zola, Shaw is Chelsea too.

    No criticism but I thought it´s been very clear this last year that Shaw would be looked on as a Chelsea fan...?

    Guess you might put Franny on that spot instead ;)
