    That's the problem as you get old...can remember the past clearly and forget where you put your glasses.

    Well I have added Lallana and Lambert to my 4-4-4, which now becomes 4-5-5. I could go with Morgan to and make it a 4-6-5?

    Well compare them:

    Shilton v Boruc
    Golac v Clyne
    Wright v Fonte
    Svenson v Lovren
    Dennis v Shaw
    Williams v Morgan
    Case v Wanyama
    Armstrong v Cork
    Le Tiss v Lallana
    Channon v Rodriguez
    Ron Davies v Rickie

    My choice is in bold. I couldn't make my mind up as to who I thought was best out of Stevie and Morgan.

    As I said on another thread, we make players look better than they really are by playing as a team. Individually we can find better players....if only they could play at the same time. :)

    Just before you posted that, I started to think about Stevie Williams and Morgan playing together. WOW

    most of our favourites will have completed their careers with us and things have not gone sour. many of our current players have spent a couple of years with us and the jury is out.

    Fonte, schneiderlin, lallana, and lambert will surely stand the greatest chance of sneaking in.

    Lallana may rapidly lose popularity.

    And then closely by this, just to show that we have played some great football in recent years:

    Lawrie Mac would have to be my Manager, although if Poch stays for over a decade, I might be inclined to change my mind!

    I am a bit of an oldie but in terms of staying with the team I am surprised Nick Holmes hasn't had much of a mention.
    Also Steve Moran was a favourite of mine and what about Dean Richards RIP

    LOved Nick Ashby but he'd do well to knock some of these out of midfield. Great servant though as was Peach.

    My team would be
    Shilton
    Golac, Lovren, Waldron, Shaw
    Paine, S Williams, Ball, Armstrong
    Le Tissier
    Ron Davies

    For me, Alan Ball was the best midfielder ever!! Great player, wonderful manager and fantastic person. He loved the game and gave so much. Watching young players of 15/16 in the pouring rain to get them to sign for whichever club he was managing.

    A different take on it from a younger Saints fan.

    Nieme
    Richardson Jaidi Svennson Shaw
    Lallana Schneiderlin Hammond
    Lambert Beattie Oxlade-Chamberlain

    I've attended games regularly since around 2003, but was a small lad so don't remember many players from around that time. Saying that, my first proper memories came as we began to slip, so don't have much good reason to remember anyone pre liehberr era.

    I can remember the game against united in 05 which sent us down, I was more than happy with the result as it meant we could play more games next season and we'd win most of them to come straight back up the next year. Oh how wrong 8 year old me was.
