spyinthesky Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 I was fortunate to be invited to a private dinner at Beaulieu House recently and, on leaving, saw a Saints scarf on the coat rack On enquiring with the House Keeper who it belonged to was informed 'Lord Montague' Presume it would be one of the younger members of the family not 'THE' Lord of the Manor. Nevertheless supporting the Saints didn't really seem to fit in with the family surroundings. Set me wondering if there were any other 'Unexpected' Saints fans. Tiff Neadell comes to mind as I assumed he would be too tied up in Motor Sport to follow the Beautiful Game. The Chairman of Selfridges was another than somehow didn't fit the mould in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were told it belonged to Lord Montague then it wouldn't be one of the younger members of the family. There is only one Lord Montagu (note spelling these days), you don't get junior lords. One Lord Montagu, there's only one Lord Montagu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 25 March, 2013 Share Posted 25 March, 2013 Tiff Neadell comes to mind as I assumed he would be too tied up in Motor Sport to follow the Beautiful Game. Even more surprising that he originally comes from Havant - as well as Roger Black also from that neck of the woods. Alan Titchmarsh MBE is of course a man of the red and white cloth. Never heard that before and I think he's even been seen down the road. Exiled Yorkshireman. Iwan Thomas, drummer Spurs fan, got a liking for Saints when he moved to Hampshire and got pally with Le Tiss. Back to when we were in premiership before, saw the chef James Martin a few times in the chapel stand Another exiled Yorkie who lives in Winchester. Probably just fancied a day out.

I agree we needed to have a start fresh. Administration and the take over would of still happened though. Plus he seemed to do it with a smile on his face in the Sky sports interview at the time. We were very fortunate with our take over too, it could have got much worse after administration, no on knew at the time what it would bring.

VectisSaint Posted 27 March, 2013 Share Posted 27 March, 2013 Don't know if anyone watched the Spike Milligan documentary on ITV on Monday night. I've always been a Milligna fan (hence my avatar), and of course my admiration for him was compounded years ago when he famously put Portsmouth in Room 101, because he hated the place. But I never really gave it any thought that he may have had some Saints interest, after all why would he. He was Irish, born in India, lived in London. BUT, and here's my point, in the said documentary, there was a brief part where it showed a picture (black and white) of Spike wearing a woolly football hat, we're talking 1970s era I would think, and it definitely said "SAINT" on the side - the angle of the photo meant that the final S would have been hidden. So, did Spike actually have some connection with Saints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
