    I was thinking of doing fave player from every country, haha.

    Wanyama is definitely my favourite Kenyan who played for Saints!

    For a top 5, the most recent players who would get in mine would be Sir Ricky Lambert and MLT.
    Mick Channon and Alan Ball would be in it, but I’m not sure who would be the last pick, when I grew up watching the likes of Ron Davies, Steve Williams, Kevin Keegan, David Armstrong (often overlooked but scored **** loads from midfield), Steve Moran, Danny Wallace, Mark Wright, Peter Shilton and others I can’t currently remember because I am old.
    If pushed I would go with Big Ron. 37 goals in 41 games, in his first season with us and in our first season in Division 1, is special.

    The older you are the harder it is to pick a top 5.

    Might be easier to pick an all-time worst XI?

    Neil McCann would definitely be in my worst team.

    There were more players from 22/23 that I couldn’t stand.

    The 24/25 lot I just felt sympathetic towards really. Led by donkeys.

    Yeah s combination of the worst elements of the two would be truly bad. I think my 5 least favourites would be something like:

    Aribo
    Aribo
    Aribo
    Aribo
    Maintland Niles

    5 is easier than 10 though. If Channon, LeTiss and Lambert are shoo-ins that only leaves two slots; for Tadic and Niemi, imo.
