There's one very famous one!
"Sims......he can run for the hills here.....LONG!!!!! AND takes SAINTS to Wembley...deal done...history made!!!!" (paraphrasing)
Remember the soccer sixes tournament from the 80s held at the NEC and G-Mex arenas?

Top photo even has Saints in it.
This came up in another thread but figured it might need its own.
The above article is a good read for a certain age group. Brought back so many memories. David Speedie in goals for Coventry, Paul Davis and Glenn Cockerill’s first game against each other after the infamous broken jaw punch at Highbury.
The season we went to the League Cup final had a big break and a huge break between consecutive home games. Can’t remember all the details. I’m sure someone will though.
Ohhh yes! I remember that now. Was on the TV too. Was fun to watch.

EDIT: apparently it wasn't the same tournament though. The linked one is the one I remember.

That was back when I lived near Andover. Dad had taken me to the Dell in 1980 for my first taste.
I can remember quite vividly my Dad lamenting how many late goals Liverpool got in that 1984 season, tutting and saying "lucky lucky Liverpool" as the scores came in on the TV.
When Redmond spurned those 2 chances I was in full muttering under my breath/rant mode. “C’mon Saints, just this once smash in a couple and get us an unexpected victory vs a top 6 team, throw us a bone ffs”.
Have to say I went ****ing ballistic at the goals and final whistle. Great feeling, would like that more often.
At 1-1 my son said, “imagine he scores this free kick”.
“Haha, chance would be a fine thing”
After a few minutes of raucous celebration my son just said “yep”. Lol.
Get in!!
I wish! We have enormous snow piles here (about 6-8 ft either side of each driveway). Warmer temps on the way but it’ll still be hanging around by then, although much reduced (hopefully). We’ve had a brutal winter.
To think of that terrible decision vs Watford too where Yoshi was adjudged to be offside and interfering. That alone could cost Saints dear. Terrible refs most weeks make it so much harder for us.
