SFC - One Club Players

[Rut]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_one-club_men

To be included:
Been at club for minimum of ten years.
Loan spells at other teams disqualify players from being counted in the list.

In this list there are 6 Southampton players. Matt Le Tissier is an obvious one. Without clicking the link can you name the other 5?

[Rut]

Actually there are 7 in total.

[Turkish]

Nick Holmes and Ted Bates would be 2. Benali and Dodd both had loan spells which would rule them out.

[Glasgow_Saint]

Loans should be fine, still at the club

[John B]

Tommy Traynor I think was one

Didn't Ted play for Norwich?

[Window Cleaner]

Tommy Traynor I think was one

I once had a chat with Tommy when he was working in the Stevedoring Dpt at Union Castle after his Saints career had ended, must have been on a holiday job myself I guess.Seem to remember him telling me he played for an Irish side in his early years,don't know if that counts though, must have only been a lad at that time.

[Ziggy]

Ali Dia. I bet he didn't play for anyone else.

Possibly Dundalk?

Possibly Dundalk?

Maybe, it was a long long time ago, I was a schoolkid at the time,we even played a few matches against crew sides from the Castle boats.My did Tommy give you a bolloaking if you screwed up,if he didn't then it was Bobby McCloughlin who was with Tommy in Stevedoring.

I think he played for Gateshead but only briefly before they realised he was crap.

[Turkish]

Didn't Ted play for Norwich?

Dont think so? Isn't the whole thing about it that he was a one club man as player, manager and director? I stand to be corrected though.

[Badger]

John Sydenham ?

[Crazy Diamond]

Hmm. Born in Thetford and started his career at Norwich but didn't make an appearance, so I suppose he's still a one club man.

[Thedelldays]

im a one club man

[david in sweden]

Bates, Traynor, Paine, Sydenham, Channon, Nick Holmes, and MLT

[bridge too far]

Bates, Traynor, Paine, Sydenham, Channon, Nick Holmes, and MLT

Mickie played for loads of clubs.

[Crazy Diamond]

Bates, Traynor, Paine, Sydenham, Channon, Nick Holmes, and MLT

I'm confused a bit here, do they count as a one club man if they've played for ten years at one club, even when they've played for other clubs? If so Channon is in there but he played for a load of other sides, so he can't really be called a one club man in the true scheme of things.

[SNSUN]

I see some Skate fan has been moaning at the poor Wiki editors to include a bunch of overlooked Skate players. Thus proving no-one wants to sign their cruddy players.

[Badger]

Bates, Traynor, Paine, Sydenham, Channon, Nick Holmes, and MLT

Terry Paine also played fpr Hereford

[VectisSaint]

Bit odd, they don't include Ted Bates in the main list, but mention him in the section about coaches etc. He was on Norwich's books, but never made a 1st team appearance.
Strictly Nick Holmes should't be in the list as he played for East Cowes Vics.

[VectisSaint]

Bates, Traynor, Paine, Sydenham, Channon, Nick Holmes, and MLT

David, you really are slipping if you think Windmill only played for Saints. You're forgetting Man City and Norwich and even his spell with the lot down the M27.
Painer won the 3rd division with Hereford after Lawrie Mac showed him the door (he played over 100 times for Hereford). Sydenham played for Aldershot, as did many of our players in those days, they were almost our reserves for a while.

also Bristol Rovers I recall ...

[VectisSaint]

also Bristol Rovers I recall ...

True, the full list also includes Newcastle, Finn Harps, Durban Celtic, Cape Town City, Newcastle KB United, Gosnells City, Durban City and Mirama Rangers. Other than that he was indeed a one-club man

[Crazy Diamond]

Terry Paine also played fpr Hereford

Managed Cheltenham too.

[Badger]

Managed Cheltenham too.

Indeed.

As a resident of Cheltenham I've often floated his name to Chelt fans who remember his time with them in the southern league.Not too popular here I'm afraid.

[Kingsland Nick]

Doesn't Eastleigh count as a club?

[Crazy Diamond]

Indeed.

As a resident of Cheltenham I've often floated his name to Chelt fans who remember his time with them in the southern league.Not too popular here I'm afraid.

I remember reading that ahead of an FA Cup tie he worked the players into the ground to make sure they didn't get a mauling, he was then criticised for taking things too seriously as they were a non-league club and only part timers.

Quite correct Vectis. I stand corrected.

I'd didn't read the question carefully enough did I ?.. Hence the faux-pas . THX.
