If we’re talking best 5 in a Saints shirt it’s gotta be: Le Tiss, Keegan, Channon, Paine & Lambert If we’re talking most talented 5 players to have played for Saints but not necessarily at their best during their time with us then it’s; Shearer, Bale, Mane, Van Dijk & Keegan
If you take all the names mentioned in this thread there has to be a place for Morgan? Not top 5 or 10 maybe but worthy of a mention.
It’s the five players you enjoyed watching the most. I didn’t put Long in because he is the most talented, but simply because he put a smile on my face.
There’s so many but I like Davis (Ron) for his head, Niemi for his spectacular shot stopping, Grobelaar for his entertainment and Ings for his loyalty and fitness
Oo okay, missed the original post! In that case, my top 5 to have actually watched in a Saints shirts are probably Le Tiss, Lallana, Tadic, Mane & Lambert (too young for any before the 90s)
I haven't got him but he did score some stunning individual goals for us, a bit like Beatts but not for so long.
Why? Excellent footballer who we saw the best of, local lad, two goals in the biggest away South coast derby win ever.
His goals got most of the attention obviously but he was so good technically and great to watch imo. Shame injuries/fitness have ruined his career somewhat. Superb player.
