Dont know if there are any other replies from the club, but this was the reply to me: Many thanks for your email received today. We were all shocked at hearing the news of Dean Richards passing on Saturday 26th February and the Club have recognised this with several acknowledgements for the player and our condolences have been offered to his family and former colleagues. On hearing the devastating news the Club released a statement offering our condolences and praising Dean for his fantastic service to the Club during his time with Saints. At the earliest opportunity available to the Club, at the game with Walsall on Tuesday 1st March, players of both teams showed their respect by wearing black armbands. The tribute held at the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur fixture was arranged in conjunction with all four of the Clubs that Dean had played for. Claus Lundekvam attended this event on our behalf, representing both the Club and our supporters. The donation of a signed shirt to raise charitable donations has already been recognised by Southampton supporters as they take the opportunity to make their own contribution towards Gemma’s Hospice, the chosen charity of Dean’s family. Tuesday’s matchday programme also carried a tribute to Dean along with a personal message from former teammate Jason Dodd on behalf of Dean’s colleagues during his time at the Club. As you are probably aware the Club took the decision some years ago to pay their respects on the passing of all ex players, staff and supporters by holding a minute’s silence annually on All Saints Day on what we feel is an appropriate occasion for the Club to remember those who have served the Saints.I trust this goes someway to highlighting the Club’s response to what has been a tragic loss to not only Southampton Football Club, but to football as a whole. Best regards, Chris Hayler Marketing Manager

Agreed with everything the chinese bloke said all night !!!!!!

I still have faith Tony, but only for so long !! Come on do the deal.. i need a reason to celebrate tonight. Things are getting pretty desperate for us saints fans at the mo, we need some good news. sooner than later.
