    Tommy Traynor played almost his entire career for Saints at left back, made 487 appearances and scored 8 goals between 1952 and 1966. Made 8 appearances for the Republic of Ireland as well. I think that deserves a place in the side.

    Bored enough to go through the responses and aggregate a best XI from them all (but with Traynor at LB because Chilco made a pretty inarguable case for him).

    --------------Niemi
    Golac--Svensson--Lovren--Traynor
    -----------Schneiderlin
    Fernandes-Berkovic-Svensson-Ekelund
    --------------Pahars

    I could never forget. I still remember "playing as" Ken Monkou in a pen shoot out, screaming "Dutch beef, now at McDonalds!" Before lacing the ball through a glass window. One of my first school detentions.
