    Rupert Lowe's best ever signing. Him and Pulis had remarkably similar ideas.

    Never see the end of Rooneys overhead kick, but this was just as good. So awesome! :)

    Think this is probably a fairer reflection of his career:

    My son raved about the Rooney one, and refused to believe me when I told him "I've seen Rory Delap do that".

    Delap's one had better technique.

    He was a good lad Rory. The price tag at Saints, always counted against him with some fans. Couple of times, decent runs in the team were halted by injuries, so it was always stop/start.

    Off the pitch, very nice bloke.

    Yep, and I told my boy that too. He certainly controlled the shot every bit as much as Rooney did, if not more so.

    Rory Delap retires - thought he did that shortly after he signed for us?

    Everyone raved about Rooney's because it was by Wayne Rooney. Simple. That goal by Delap was just as good!

    I was there for that goal. Was the winner in a 1-0 victory over Spurs too if I haven't lost my marbles.

    ...... strangely I was at OT for Rooney`s goal (blagged freeby from work), at the same end next to the Citeh fans.

    Rooney's was better. Delap's was great obviously, more of a scissors though.

    You need your Southampton Club Union Member card revoked.
