georgeweahscousin Posted 8 November, 2010 Share Posted 8 November, 2010 .....to love the Saints. Been mulling over this for a few days now. I am trying to compile a 125 strong list of notable events/players/oddities from the history of the club to put into a definitive list in celebration of the anniversary. They can be anything, from the sublime to the laughable, so I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else comes up with. See how long it takes us to get to 125. I'll get the ball rolling...... 1. Charles Miller introducing football to the Brazilians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
