    I was at Wembley when he scored against West Germany - but was overshadowed by Geoff Hurst's treble!

    Over to you Saints!

    Yeah, he was nicknamed "the ghost" because of his knack of appearing late in the box to score!

    Ok, next clue...

    Yeah, Ron's up there Taff, but there was only one man who kept us in the top division single handedly for a decade and stayed at the club despite several overtures from bigger clubs. Plus he happened to be a Football Genius!...
