Minty Posted 14 March, 2010 Share Posted 14 March, 2010 Herbie will be well known to many of you, either via Saintslist, or his work at St Mary's as a tireless Tour Guide. Well Herbie was nominated for the above award, to be decided at a star-studded Football League Awards evening tonight in London... and he won! http://www.football-league.co.uk/flawards/news/20100314/fan-of-the-year_2246530_1992249 A throughly deserved award and I have no doubt many of you will agree! Well done Herbie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 14 March, 2010 Share Posted 14 March, 2010 Nice one, not made clear by that article but will there be a piece on him in fourfourtwo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Saint Posted 14 March, 2010 Share Posted 14 March, 2010 Well done Herbie, a true Saint. I hope the club can recognise this fine achievement. Some of Herbies stories on SaintsList about some of the less fortunate who are on his tours bring tears to your eyes and joy to your hearts.

Minty Posted 14 March, 2010 Author Share Posted 14 March, 2010 Nice one, not made clear by that article but will there be a piece on him in fourfourtwo? The article was literally only updated a short time ago, live from the event. FourFourTwo sponsor the awards, so there may well be, but I'm sure Herbie will let us know (on SaintsList at least) in due course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 14 March, 2010 Share Posted 14 March, 2010 Only met Herbie the once. I was supporting a group of kids from Belarus on a Stadium tour. What a great ambassador for our club he was. He took the kids to the club shop at the end of the tour and told them to each choose a shirt from a certain (end of line and training tops iirc) rail. Some of the kids wandered around and grabbed first team replica shirts, I explained to them that they had to choose from the other rails but Herbie came over and told me not to worry, he had a word with the checkout staff and off they all trotted with their brand new first team shirt. A week later they were guests at the pre-season friendly; a dozen or so new saints supporters from Belarus in their saints shirts. Cheers for sorting that Herbie, a very well deserved plaudit tonight. Top man, a true Saint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
