    He fumbled that Toure shot in the first half and you are thinking "Oh no Kelvin!", but he made a world class reaction block to deny Aguero, and in truth barely put a foot wrong after that, and made some really good saves.

    Thanks Kelvin, and well done for 300 appearances. Legend is an overused word, but he is a real Saints one.

    Southampton F.C. Goalkeeper Appearances:

    1. Tommy Allen - 323
    2. Kelvin Davis - 300
    3. Eric Martin - 290
    4. Tim Flowers - 251
    5. Peter Shilton - 242
    6. Bert Scriven - 233
    7. Paul Jones - 223
    8. John Christie - 217
    9. George Clawley - 191
    10. Peter Wells - 160

    Mr. Tommy Allen's final appearance was in 1928, so basically Kelvin has made the most appearances for a Saints 'keeper for the last 87 years.

    As I have already said Kelvin has been a good servant at the club. He deserves the accolades he is presently getting and more and yes it would be nice if he had a testimonial.
    It would be a big hole for saints to fill should he not be kept on in some sort of role in the future.
    An excellent ambassador and diplomat.

    Perhaps a preseason friendly could become Super Kevin Davis Day.

    This was retweeted by Nathaniel Clyne. Is this a clue to what he is going to do? :emoticon-0138-think

    Well, Nat had his own 100 shirt, so maybe there was the motivation. But good stuff nonetheless. :)

    SKD said (after the match) that Clyne had his 100 match shirt and he hoped that he would stay for 200 or 300.

    Go on, Nat...you know you want to :)

    I don't think he's officially retired.

    I think someone said that he has one season left....I hope that have a post-career job for him. That's the trouble with me...can't sack anyone....I'd keep all the old retainers as pets. :p

    That's what I thought, but wasn't sure how long it was for, surely he'll be a coach when he does retire anyway?

    Ah fair enough. I figured that was why they gave him the last match.would have made sense to finish on the 300 caps with the last match of a fantastic season. I'm not complaining though he's a legend!

    I can imagine he will remain a 3rd team goalie this year and a 4th when Fraser returns! All the while getting his coaching badges and slotting in as under 21/18 goalkeeping coach. :)
