Alphabet Legends

Recommended Posts

Saw a link for a Man United kids book 'Alphabet Legends'. Basically an A-Z with a club legend associated to each letter.

 

Thought it might be fun to try to do one for Saints (Surnames should be used) - annoyingly we have a lot of L's

B - Beattie

F - Fonte

K - Keegan

N - Niemi

O - Ormerod

P - Pahars

S - Stokes

 

I know others have proposed others for those letters, I'm just putting alternatives out there so it can be debated.

 

I'd also argue Le Tissier should go under T, and put Lambert at L

 

Managers - A for Adkins, K for Koeman

Koeman is not a Saints legend. He's in the same bracket as Strachen. I wouldn't class Ormerod as a legend either.

P can only be for Terry Paine...800 games, 18 seasons, from 3rd div to 1st, top goalscorer before Channon and World Cup winner with England. I know Pahars scored a few vital goals in that seaon when he was fit, but compare with Terry...he can't

R - Reed. Done so much for the club. Absolute legend. Back to back promotions, a cup final, 2 European campaigns and 4 consecutive top 8 finishes. He’s brought some of the finest players ever to play this club through the doors and made the club huge amounts of money. Without question the greatest director of football in premier league history.

surely S has to be Stokes ???

 

John Sydenham: 402 appearances; 40 goals

Bobby Stokes: 264 appearances; 55 goals

Alan Shearer: 158 appearances; 43 goals

 

I'd go with Sydenham. He was one of my heroes when I started supporting the club in the early 60s; and he went to the same school as me (St. Mary's in Bitterne Park).

There's also Peter Shilton, 188 appearances for Saints in our most successful years, the early 1980s, and 125 England caps.

Not a legend per se but could U be Uwe Rosler (I know completely contradicts the rules stated but clutching at straws).

 

I thought he scored the last goal at The Dell v Brighton. A tenuous link to 'justify' his inclusion.
