Fowllyd Posted 5 November, 2008 Share Posted 5 November, 2008 Some time in the 1960s we won 4-0 at Old Trafford (or was it 4-1?) - either way, it was Ron Davies' match. Can't remember what year it was, as I was very young at the time... And I'll always remember our 1-0 win at Anfield late in 1981 - I was sitting in a student hostel in Moscow, listening to the results on the World Service. We were a pretty decent team then, but winning at Anfield was all but unheard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CylonKing Posted 6 November, 2008 Share Posted 6 November, 2008 I would say: Southampton 4 - Liverpool 1 - 20 Oct 89 Liverpool were still seen as one of the biggest teams in English football and our 4-2-4 formation totally obliterated them. Can't remember who scored but the team consisted of Le Tiss, the Wallace Brothers, Paul Rideout et al. I remember seeing that score and just feeling immense pride in the team. A superb result on a scale the same as beating Man Utd, Chelsea or Arsenal nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CylonKing Posted 6 November, 2008 Share Posted 6 November, 2008 I would also add Liverpool 1 - Saints 2, when Ormerod scored early on and I think Svensson scored the 2nd from a corner. Excellent result at a time when we were a force to be reckoned with under Strachan, if my memory serves me right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batterseasaint Posted 6 November, 2008 Share Posted 6 November, 2008 MLT crossed for Rod Wallace to score and vice versa to score two of them. Rideout got one as well. Actually Doddy crossed one of them for a rare Le Tiss headed goal. I think it was Doddy's second game for the club, having made his debut the week before when we beat QPR 4-1 away.

Yeah it's hard to see past that one. Man City high in the top division; Saints going well in the 3rd Division, and with a reputation for attacking football. City scored first, and then Saints overwhelmed them. Afterwards, the famous keeper Bert Trautmann** who had been in goal for Man City, came up to congratulate John Sydenham saying, what a load of rubbish I had in front of me. But according to Syddo, 3 of the goals were his fault. **The keeper who played on despite breaking his neck in an FA Cup Final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted 6 November, 2008 Share Posted 6 November, 2008 was that not the game where Le Tiss scored inside the first 2mins, they had Grobbelaar in goals and wore a yellow/gold strip? i think we were 4-0 up at one point, it was a night game and snowing? or am i thinking of another game? Another game. Following on from a four or 5 goal win at Loftus Rd we were as exciting a team as I ever saw. Dodd, crossed early on for Rideout to score (he'd already smacked one off the bar from miles out) then Rod Wallace did a bit of a drag back to leave Venison chasing his own mullet before firing home. Rodders volleyed home at the far post from a Matty cross before returning the compliment for Matty to head in a forth. I think the Scouser's goal was a Beardsley penner. Great day against a team that were unbeaten all season until then and meant we had gone 10 unbeaten playing awsome stuff. Went to Old trafford the next week and lost 2-1 after taking an early lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brmbrm Posted 6 November, 2008 Share Posted 6 November, 2008 Saints beating Preston away is a shock. Just shows how some people's ambitions and expectations have changed.

Mr saint Posted 6 November, 2008 Share Posted 6 November, 2008 Every win is unexpected for Saints fans. That's what is so great about this club. I'd like to think that I celebrated our wins against the likes of Preston and Doncaster this season, more than the average Man Utd or Chelsea fan would celebrate winning the Premiership! I'd like to see what I'm like if we ever do win some silverware again in my lifetime! I can't think of anything more boring than going into every game we ever player EXPECTING to win it.

fareham saint phil Posted 7 November, 2008 Share Posted 7 November, 2008 I think the comeback v liverpool in the last season at the Dell to make it 3-3, as a comeback that was special. Think most unlikely results should come away from home as our home form, back then, was always amazing. any victory away during the 70's, 80's and 90's was unexpected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyNorthernSaints Posted 7 November, 2008 Share Posted 7 November, 2008 Cheers for that. Happy memories of being at that game. Mickey Adams a very underated player for Saints. Kenna's bizarre header back into box to set up their late equalizer. We didn't even need Le Tiss to take 5th pen. ****y young Giggs juggling ball before his pen was saved. Still remember moaning Manure fans on way out/home complaining about pens etc and me turning round to one of them saying they were still moaning about Stokes goal being offside in 76 :-) I ran all the way back to local in Hulme in Manchester to make last orders just to take the ****.

Dark Munster Posted 7 November, 2008 Share Posted 7 November, 2008 Norwich 4 Saints 5 (The start of one of the greatest escapes). Listened to the result on a crackling short wave radio. I had no idea what the score was that day, and I heard "Norwich 4..." and my Saints supporting life flashed before my eyes. Visions of Saints definitely doomed and financial ruin (err, a bit like today). And then after what seemed an eternity "... Southampton 5". Cue dizziness and total disbelief.

John Boy Saint Posted 8 November, 2008 Share Posted 8 November, 2008 I can always remember being at the Dell when we hammered the reigning European Champions Nottingham Forest 4-1.

Man Ure 0, Southampton 1=D> yes, but the point was that it wasn't a shock to the fans on the day, we all KNEW we'd win, it was the outside world that believed we'd be mashed. For example Derby away this season was a shock. No way did many of us expect to get a result up there. Beating Marseilles at home in '76 what was it 3-1 or 4-1? now that was a shock result...
