Pilchards Posted 16 February, 2018 Share Posted 16 February, 2018 I saw a photo of Steve Williams yesterday on Facebook and it got me thinking. Which ex Saints players were better known at Saints rather than the clubs they moved from or too? Will start with James Beattie, certainly better known for us although he went on to good things with Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWillie Posted 16 February, 2018 Share Posted 16 February, 2018 Danny Wallace. Great for us but flopped at Man Utd possibly due to his deteriorating health (MS sadly). Believe he may have made a few appearances for Birmingham later as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 16 February, 2018 Share Posted 16 February, 2018 (edited) Ron Davies was a world beater with us but didn't do it at Man U and then somewhere else But he was past 30 when he went there so he was right at the ass end of his career anyway. Went to Millwall afterwards I think. Channon is the classic example, always known for his Saints days and the other clubs just don't matter. Graham Baker might be the same.

Dimond Geezer Posted 16 February, 2018 Share Posted 16 February, 2018 Mick Channon thought he could better himself at Man City before coming back home, dabbled with Norwich & the Skates too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenilworthy Posted 16 February, 2018 Share Posted 16 February, 2018 Mick Channon thought he could better himself at Man City before coming back home, dabbled with Norwich & the Skates too.

Pilchards Posted 16 February, 2018 Author Share Posted 16 February, 2018 Luke Shaw... I would debate that as he only had one great season with us.

Disco Stu Posted 16 February, 2018 Share Posted 16 February, 2018 Antti Niemi. Incredible keeper, probably my favourite for us. Loved to make every stop spectacular (sometimes unnecessarily ) - did well for Fulham but surely better known for his time with us. Shame about that small blemish on his CV though.

kwsaint Posted 16 February, 2018 Share Posted 16 February, 2018 Taking a different approach to the thread. How many ex-Saints players are there in the Premier League? Liverpool: Lallana, Lovren, Clyne, Van Dyck, Mane, Oxlade-Chamberlain Everton: Schneiderlin, Martina, Walcott Man United: Shaw Burnley: Cork Stoke: Crouch West Brom: Rodrigues Swansea: Dyer Bournemouth: Boruc, Surman Palace: Puncheon West Ham: Fonte, Antonio Spurs: Wanyama, Alderweireld Bound to have missed someone. That's 21 players, the majority of who made their Premier League debut with Saints in the past 5 years. No wonder we are in a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowse is probably best known for that magnificent header into his own net when he was at West Ham v Stockport. Probably helped Dave Jones get the Saints job along with knocking Saints out next.
