    I've actually got Danny in my avatar. One of my favourite Saints pictures of my time going.

    The mush in the disabled section of the Fratton end celebrating is the cherry on top :)

    What we would give for a Benali today. Although he would be suspended for most the season.

    Interested to see Oakley there. Never was as good as he should have been in my view. Think he should have dominated games more, certainly had the ability

    Why. I think this does it perfectly. To summarise so far, general view seems to be Adam was a really good player for us during an.upward trajectory for the club, but certainly not one of ours stars of the last 40 years nor cult status.

    Good shout, but would take issue on Keegan and Van Dyke.
    Keegan goals (30 if I remember correctly) took us to top of the table, first time ever, thi k we stayed there for two months, not sure he was better elsewhere
    Van Dyke was a complete beast for us, complete physical specimen, not sure he git any better subsequently

    Yep, but for us older folk. Mick Channon was a local.lad. Danny Ings could not hold a candle to Mick

    I only saw about 3 posts. It has been 35 degrees to today. Let the guys dream of that frozen delight

    Yeah don't think anyone would suggest otherwise. Club record goal scorer is a pretty high bar!

    Wayyyyyy before my time though.

    Nowhere near ‘legend’ status. He played a couple of good seasons for us. Are we doing favourite players, best players or what? I’m getting confused <laugh>

    Yeah he's absolutely not a legend. I was doing my favourites personally rather than best, otherwise Virgil and Mane would have been in there.

    The Thornhill game is my main reason I think so fondly of him. My favourite away game ever and no way we'd have won by that margin without him.

    Arguably we might not have won at all. We were under the cosh quite a bit before his quickfire brace which were both classy finishes.
