Professor Posted 19 October, 2009 Share Posted 19 October, 2009 Can't help noticing that Peter Crouch and James Beattie are catching the eye at Spurs and Stoke, whilst Theo Walcott is a regular in the Arsenal and England news these days. Stoke is home to 3 other ex-Saints, Delap, Danny Higginbotham and Ricardo Fuller, while Gareth Bale is at Spurs, but not getting many games. Kevin Davies still seems to be doing a job at Bolton but Drew Surman doesn't seem to have made an impact at Wolves. In the CCC Dexter Blackstock and David MacGoldrick are both playing regularly at Forest, as is Nathan Dyer at Swansea. Anyone aware of how any other ex-Saints are doing in the top two leagues?

whizzpop Posted 19 October, 2009 Share Posted 19 October, 2009 Pretty much every club in the league has a Saints connection now, a sign of how many players have gone through the club in the last 4-5 years. Andrew Davies (stoke - on loan to Sheff Utd). Henri Camara (stoke too I think). Nigel Quashie (wolves reserves) Gregory Vignal (Birm Reserves) Danny Guthrie and Nile Ranger seem to be doing well at Newcastle, Richard Chaplow is an ever present at Preston. Adam Hamill scored a good goal at the weekend for Barnsley. R. Wright has had a bad season so far at Ipswich. Stern John broke his arm currently "playing" at C Palace as is Ryan Smith. B. Wright-Phillips has made no impact yet at the green army of Plymouth. Very suprised no one has picked up on the fact Rudi Skacel is without a club still! You forget Kenwyne Jones too.

Matt Mills scored during Reading's 3-1 loss at the hands of West Brom. Leon Best has been linked with a move to Wolves. Jack Cork and Martin Cranie are both earning rave reviews at Coventry too.

david in sweden Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 (edited) David Puckett still involved at Saints coaching the youths. A quality player (who I played againt 5-a-side) who I remember as a great super-sub. Dave Puckett, one of the few So'ton lads to get a first team career, played (on and off for five seasons) during McMenemy's glory days. As you said he was super sub but scored mostly when he got the no.9 shirt at a time when there was no regular CF in the squad. He scored 16 goals in 59 apps + 52 subs. including 2 goals v. Arsenal at The Dell in Jan.1982 He'd built a good reputation as a Reserve striker, and scored over 80 goals during the in-between periods when he wasn't in the first team squad. Steve Moran, Cassells, IAN Baird, were other candidates for the CF spot while Frank Worthington rarely scored during his short stay, but life got tougher when he had to compete with Joe Jordan for the no.9 shirt. After Mc Menemy's departure he lost his way, and when Chris Nicholl bought in the explosive Colin Clarke he must have seen his days were numbered. Both he and Moran were gone inside a few months. Nice to see that a local lad is still involved in the club, as it helps to hold " the legend of the great Saints side ", at a time when everything has been so black.

egg Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 Ian Baird is managing Eastleigh. Kevin Gibbens is playing for VTFC. Keith Granger was on the coaching staff at Saints but is now back at the docks. Reuben Agboola is into property (I think) after getting rid of his pub. Many, many more have drifted out of the game and achieved very little - sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 Looks like DMG isn't doing too well. But to be fair to him Forest seem to have like 5 young strikers. Would not be surprised to see him sold on in January/summer. Wonder if we have a sell on clause! Pity Drew has not been playing. Can't help but think he is a fine example of what Pardew was talking about at the fans forum. That some players move to early and it hinders their career. Because if they stayed a season or so more they would of been playing games. Surely you learn more and progress further by playing games opposed to sitting on the bench or in his case playing in the reserves. It is a shame because he could have done ok with us this year.
