    Out of interest, why Flowers for "most contributed" team?

    SKD have us 10 years and contributed hugely to our resurrection. I know, it's about opinion. Just found Flowers an odd choice.

    Which one of mine is the fake? Replace the intruder with John Sydenham. Or Frank Saul. Williams?? Beddy, was he a fullback in the early 60s?

    Of course you are right FLT (can't believe I overlooked Kelv), I was just thinking back and remembered what a great keeper Tim was for us, winning POTS a couple of times IIRC. But SKD's overall contribution was greater on reflection, in the dressing room as well as on the pitch.

    Which is remarkly similar similar to the TSW line-up, minus Rickie, Morgan and Jose, as it was before their Saints era.

    It's not surprising, but does go to show how a players departure still effects such votes.
    Even players who leave in relatively good terms.

    Players who suffered career ending or altering injuries such as Ekelund or Svensson make those TSW squads, yet Dean Richards/Gareth Bale have not

    I am intrigued to see if Fonte will get into this team now

    I'm still Embarrassed Kevin Keegan didn't get in that team. He was the current European Footballer of the year and played like it too. A bit like us signing Ronald next season.

    missed an 'o'...ronald is a dutchman, but I agree with you 100%. Keegan was the Ronaldo or Messi of the late 70s/early 80s
