Was it so long ago some never saw him? I saw him countless times in my opinion the best all round footballer to play for Southampton I will alwaysremember his three goals in the last four games of the 1966 season to get us to Div ! especially the one at Leyton Orient where he was carried of the pitch on the shoulders of Saints Fans He scored 188 goals in 816 appearances a feat I doubt will ever be beaten From 1958 to 1969 he only missed 5 league games If anybody wants to learn more about him and the great times I had as a Saints fan in the 60s where we went from Div 3 to Div 1 just read his biography Constant Paine Without Terry Paine I doubt we would be the club we are today 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sifter Posted 5 October, 2021 Author Share Posted 5 October, 2021 (edited) On 04/10/2021 at 17:32, Saint86 said: Gareth Bale is the best left back you ever saw play for saints...? come on mate behave! He couldn't even get in Tottenham's team for the next couple of years at that age. Luke shaw mops the floor with him for saints with respect to ability whilst at saints, as does Bridge. And livramento at right back... most of the forum want him put in the right CAM so KWP can play right back 🤣 In no way shape or form should anyone be considering him as saints best ever right back! Also surprised there is no spot for Sadio Mane, especially given you've included a 16year old theo? Mane was absolutely unplayable at times and is hands down one of the most dangerous players i've ever seen at saints. It's just my opinion. I'm sure you have yours. Livramento is the most exciting right back I've seen for saints. I like players that put a smile on my face and get me on my feet. Jason Dodd, Clyne and KWP never did that (aside from Dodd performance against Liverpool in 4-1 win at the dell. That had me laughing all week! ) In honesty, I'm aware tino being my best ever right back after 8 games is stupid. But I'm OK with that - I'm investing in potential;) Tino reminds me of Bale in truth. Bale was the most exciting left back. We have been blessed with some crackers though for sure . Yes Bale struggled at spurs for a while- but not at saints. He was brilliant and I loved watching him get stronger with each game. Mane was brilliant for us. But I enjoyed watching theo more and I would have put rickie above mane in truth. Walcott was unplayable when he broke through. Just total confidence in his own ability. theo was the most exciting young player I've ever seen play for us in his breakthrough season. Arsenal soon put a stop to that. He joined the wrong club. Like I say - it's just my opinion. We have been blessed to see some true greats. Edited 5 October, 2021 by sifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a wonderful watch, thanks for sharing. I'd not seen Paine play before - lpve the hip swerving run and he seemed to have great awareness for a pass too. Also, notable pass from Puskas to setup Law - was not something I ever expected to see! Lastly, that run from Charlton at the end. Reminded me of Gazza or Gullit - total control of the ball running with back straight and always looking up. Different class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piran Posted 6 October, 2021 Share Posted 6 October, 2021 I loved the YouTube video. Some really great players there. As my first Dell game was in 1958, I saw a lot of Terry Paine, and agree with all the comments above praising him. I won't give a favourite XI for Saints, I'd struggle to leave out so many players! Those first few years, though, in the old 2nd Division, gave schoolboys like me their heroes in Paine, George O'Brien and Derek Reeves, and later on Ron Davies, Mickey Channon, Phil Boyer and Peter Osgood, (the comment above about Ossie being past it when he played for us may be a little bit true, but I always felt he was worth the entry fee just to see him play). It's obvious from my picks above that most are forwards, hence my not picking them in a team formation, but one player who has to be included for me in any Best Saints XI is Alan Ball - his contribution was, in my opinion, tremendous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I ever saw John Sydenham play, I can remember Terry Paine waving up to the West Stand at my first game ( 3rd round cup against some non league team) . Other that that my first Saints memory is seeing Dennis Hollywood and Mike Summerbee get their bi-annual sending off for a punch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted 6 October, 2021 Share Posted 6 October, 2021 Shilton Mills Wright Van Dijk Bridge Williams Schneiderlin Le Tissier Lambert Moran D Wallace subs Niemi, M Svensson, Clyne, Case, R Wallace, Ings, Armstrong Bit messy I think. First saw in 84 but don’t remember a huge amount, saw some of the modern players a lot more. Not picking based on post-saints success so not including Shearer, Bale or Mane for that reason. Will defend myself for Clyne (was excellent for us) and Ings (honestly don’t recall him missing a chance he should have scored for us) among the subs but understand if others disagree.

macca155 Posted 7 October, 2021 Share Posted 7 October, 2021 (edited) I missed out Paine, Channon, Keegan, Davies, and Chivers. Its hard to project these players forward as football was so different then. On reflection I'd select Chivers over Shearer. However I couldn't drop any of Ball, Case, Williams, or LeTissier for them, or the likes of Pahars or Ecklund. So hard. Not even Newcastle could afford that team!

Even Matt Target is doing well for himself at Villa (which is great to see personally, as his family and mine have close connections). It's also the reason why those of us who go back a bit further have opted for Golac at RB. Could have also gone for Mick Mills, who played RB, LB and CB or even Nick Holmes, who played absolutely everywhere. That said, of those you listed above, Kenna was a decent RB and Dodd was a great servant for us without being a great player himself. Have a feeling, in some future reproduction of this thread, an awful lot of people will have Livramento at RB and will be saying what an insane signing he was at the time.

Cart horse. Golac is one player of like to have seen but having not, Clyne is the best I can dredge up. I'll stay calm over Livramento, although he looks pretty bloody special.

Fully agree about Ray Wallace. I'm sure he only ever played for us because he was Rod's twin. I've never really decided who was the better between Rod and Danny. Think I preferred watching Danny and have better memories of him; Rod was faster and more clinical (if I remember correctly), and certainly did more after leaving us. Would love either here now (in their prime of course). Think Tella is the closest we've got. Hopefully he will go on to become as much of a legend.

I could easily fill at least 2 more teams with real quality.
