Ex players

I saw a photo of Steve Williams yesterday on Facebook and it got me thinking.

 

Which ex Saints players were better known at Saints rather than the clubs they moved from or too?

 

Will start with James Beattie, certainly better known for us although he went on to good things with Blackburn.

Saints signed Beatts from Blackburn.

Ron Davies was a world beater with us but didn't do it at Man U and then somewhere else

 

 

But he was past 30 when he went there so he was right at the ass end of his career anyway. Went to Millwall afterwards I think.

Channon is the classic example, always known for his Saints days and the other clubs just don't matter. Graham Baker might be the same.

Antti Niemi. Incredible keeper, probably my favourite for us. Loved to make every stop spectacular (sometimes unnecessarily :lol:) - did well for Fulham but surely better known for his time with us. Shame about that small blemish on his CV though.

 

Hearts fans loved him probably as much as us. Was a great keeper for them too.

Ivan Golac

Rodney Wallace

Jeff Kenna (?)

Mark Wright

Neil Ruddock (?)

Iain Dowie (?)

 

Most people would say Leeds for Wallace I'd think.

Kenna at Blackburn won the title

Wright for Liverpool and Derby

Ruddock, Liverpool or Spurs

Dowie well known for Luton or West Ham but played more games for Saints than them combined.

Taking a different approach to the thread. How many ex-Saints players are there in the Premier League?

 

Liverpool: Lallana, Lovren, Clyne, Van Dyck, Mane, Oxlade-Chamberlain

Everton: Schneiderlin, Martina, Walcott

Man United: Shaw

Burnley: Cork

Stoke: Crouch

West Brom: Rodrigues

Swansea: Dyer

Bournemouth: Boruc, Surman

Palace: Puncheon

West Ham: Fonte, Antonio

Spurs: Wanyama, Alderweireld

 

Bound to have missed someone. That's 21 players, the majority of who made their Premier League debut with Saints in the past 5 years. No wonder we are in a mess

Dowse is probably best known for that magnificent header into his own net when he was at West Ham v Stockport. Probably helped Dave Jones get the Saints job along with knocking Saints out next. Would love to have heard Redknapp’s reaction though!

Lack of strikers in there says a lot!
