    Saints have launched a twitter competition as part of the kit launch marketing promotion of #MadeForHeroes

    You just have to share your favourite "heroic" Saints related moment.

    Thought I would create a thread as an excuse to post some highlight videos

    As hero is now such an over-used word, could we have a steer on what this means in this context? I don't do Twitter, so am not going to be competing, but just wondered what a "hero" is in this context? Ryan Bertrand going to help at Grenfell Tower is laudable, and requires more "heroism" than making a great tackle or providing a goal scoring opportunity. but I'm pushed to get "hero" in the footballing context - particularly at the moment.

    Sorry. Just the moaning of a grumpy old bastard. But I would love to see the word "hero" used a little more sparingly.

    1999 - Saints in deep relegation trouble. Only three points will do against an already safe Wimbledon.
    10,000 Saints fans make the trip to turn this match into a home fixture and "Dellhurst Park".
    Who can become a "hero"?

    The JPT final would be favourite moment for many saints fans, but there was a tricky match on the way

    That is a great reminder of what Le Tiss did and meant to the club. Inspirational and pure genius.

    Forte is Latin for Strong, but we knew him as quick

    Hero is defined as someone who is brave, is of noble character, or is outstanding in any field.....so footballers can be included in the latter group. Obviously what you require in a hero depends if you are drowning or need a goal in an FA Cup Final.:)

    I'd completely forgotten that was Harry Kane who gave away that second pen!

    Ditto Legend and several other descriptions. I'm also in the G.O.B. category.

    What a season that was...loved every minute....apart from our late wobble which took the odd year off my life.

    Off the field problems would characterize two turbulent seasons at St Mary's, but this remarkable match was a rare moment of euphoria

    I still feel bad we had to sell Drew Surman. And what a player Saganowski was!

    Souness transferred in a lot of foreign talent in 96/97 as the premier league money started to give the league a more cosmopolitan feel, but with relegation again threatening the saints, it was a man from Devon with huge side burns that produced the goods

    If Ryan does his thing for the London tower block fire, he trumps it all.

    Maybe Keith's niceteeth for saving Oriol's dog.
