Someone is taking 10 pound Umbro off the peg team shirts, stitching on a retro Saints badge and then bumping up the price to £35.

The team we had then, Fitz Hall, Yoann Folly and Leandre Griffit as the future spine.
Folly v Spurs in March 2004 is another shout for this thread. Folly is still only 34 years old.
