funkymojo44 Posted 26 May, 2010 Share Posted 26 May, 2010 Our club went downhill the moment Jason Dodd left. A true captain that was never really effectively replaced possibly until Murty came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikee Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 Of the current team definately Waigo seems to have the most character. My favourite characters of all time: Mark Dennis - the "original" psycho! Ivan Golac - hard as nails and a bit soft in the head! Special mentions for: Channon Jordan Case Osgood Beasant Burridge Adams Watson (Gordon) Dowie Ruddock Van Gobbel Ekelund & Le Tissier would also be considered to be characters but to me they were more showmen and let their football do the talking. Sure I have missed loads but memory not as good as it was. There do seem to be less characters in the game today but that is inevitable as the game has got too serious and jokers may be weeded out for having a suspect attitude. Probably one of the biggest characters in the game at the moment IMO is Jimmy Bullard but they are few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 Are we all just naming ex Saints players? The criteria of 'character' seems to be a little loose judging by some the names mentioned on this thread. I agree with Glasgow Saint though - Freddy Adu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA77 Posted 27 May, 2010 Share Posted 27 May, 2010 I remember speaking to Nick Holmes, and he said John Burridge was a real nutter. He listened to the same tape on his walkman an hour before every match, and did the same routine. If I remember right, he used to have a gymnastic routine and do all sorts of flips and stuff (unless i'm the one going mad). Terry Hurlock was great too.
