    I was wondering how many former Saints players have played for or managed Eastleigh. Here is what I have come up with so far.

    Matt Le Tissier
    Needs no introduction. Matty played 443 league games scoring 161 goals with Saints being the only league club in a career starting in 1985 until 2002. For Eastleigh between 2002-2003 Matt played 17 times scoring 3 goals

    Francis Benali
    Another player that needs no introduction is Franny Benali. Franny played 311 times for Saints scoring 1 goal in a 2-2 draw with Leicester at the Dell on 13/12/97. I remember thinking when we signed Casey Keller on loan great we have signed the only keeper beaten by Franny. Although Saints was Franny's only Parent club he did has a loan spell at Nottingham Forest in 2001 making 17 apps with no goals. For Eastleigh Franny played 22 times between 2006-2008 scoring you've guessed it zero.

    David Hughes
    David played for Saints between 1991-2000 playing 53 times scoring 3 goals. David looked to have a promising career with Saints his only league club but unfortunately it was a career plagued with injuries. David played for Eastleigh between 2002-2008 and even managing them breifly in 2007. I don't have his stats for Eastleigh but he was a great servant

    Aaron Martin came from Eastleigh to Saints in 2009. I do not have his stats for Eastleigh but he played 20 times for Saints scoring once. His Saints career lasted from 2009-2014 a lot of that time spent out on loan.

    Jack Dovey
    a former Saints youth Keeper who spent time on loan at Eastleigh before moving permanantly. I don't no much about J and believe he is stll there.

    Nicky Banger
    Nicky played for Saints between 1989 and 1994 playing 55 times scoring 8 goals. He played for Eastleigh between 2003-2005 playing 40 times scoring 11 goals

    Ian Baird
    Ian played for Saints between 1982-1985 playing 22 times scoring 5 times. He managed Eastleigh beteen 2007-2012

    Mark Dennis
    Mark Played for Saints between 1983-1987 playing 95 times scoring twice. I read on wiki he was known as Psycho long before Stuart Pearce. He was Assistant manager at Eastleigh for a while

    Can you think of anyone I have missed out?
