    Sheffield Wednesday, he did play a season for Reading but not very successfully. Even if he stayed with us back then, I don't think he would have made it to the Prem.

    He was good enough to stay an extra season. Who knows what could have been, he was young afterall.

    He was exciting to watch, because we never knew what he would do next. We didn't know, the defender didn't know and he certainly didn't know. He had a first touch that went further than I could kick it :shocked:

    Thankfully he didn't stay as that may have prevented a certain other wide player coming through in that following season; one we sold for 15M to Arsenal.

    Good call FLT, played for Saints when I first started watching them in 1966 and was still playing in the FA Cup winning team 10 years later. Great servant to the club, and a very under-rated midfielder.

    .. and I believe one of the "Alehouse Brawlers," according to that Scottish chap who didn't like getting beat up at the Dell.

    Howsabout Razor Ruddock and Chrisy Marsden, both gave 100%, both had a great affinity with the crowd.

    Anyone remember the Pompey away game, when he ran down the wing with the ball and they all threw chicken bones at him?

    Martin Cranie, didn't think the fella was ever a proper chance here (even after being excellent in the play off semi final).

    Because the thread is for players that weren't fan favourites or great players.

    Possibly mentioned in another thread. I liked him. Didn't he have an incredibly long throw?

    Malcolm Waldron, Graham Baker and Trevor Hebberd.
    Under rated players in a great era for Saints.
