Show/hide article…
Greg Baker, who runs the Saints Foundation, has put on the club website a list of 66 players going way back from which supporters can nominate their Ultimate Saints XI.
The winners will eventually be unveiled as Saints have an exhibition opening in March next year at the SeaCity Museum.
When I bumped into him one day Greg asked me what I thought my favourite team would be. I immediately rattled off names like Peter Shilton, Mick Mills, Alan Ball, Mick Channon, Kevin Keegan, Peter Osgood.
He smiled and said ‘no Le Tissier or Shearer etc?’ What it means is it’s about different ages and different eras.
When I looked at the whole list to pick from I realised I had signed about 25 of the names.
I have chickened out a bit to be honest. I have stuck to my own players and then started to add one or two who could be either substitutes and in fact when I look at the numbers I have come up with three separate teams.
I think a lot of this will depend on the age of the supporter. Even myself for instance looking back over the Ted Bates era recognise outstanding players such as Ron Davies, who would have probably got in anybody’s team at that time, with the centre forward noted for his heading ability.
Even my old friend Terry Paine in his pomp was good enough to be in the England set-up.
I have decided though to include all of my players, which meant I finished up with about three different teams.
If, for instance, I had to only name one XI, even of the three left backs I signed myself I would probably pick David Peach before legend Franny Benali or Mark Dennis.
Why? It’s simple, because David was not only an outstanding full back but scored goals, with a record number of penalties.
I certainly didn’t want to upset Franny or Mark, who still live in the area, because I wouldn’t want to bump into them and receive one of the tackles they were noted for.
My first team, obviously, would be the Cup winners: Turner, Rodriguez, Peach, Blyth and Steele, Gilchrist, McCalliog and Holmes, Channon, Osgood and Stokes.
Another group of my signings would be: Shilton, Mills, Dennis, Mark Wright, Chris Nicholl. Midfield is difficult. Alan Ball, Dave Armstrong and Matt Le Tissier, with a front three of Keegan, Shearer and Danny Wallace.
That left me with nearly another full team, but I have added one or two who I didn’t sign such as Kelvin Davis in goal.
So after Kelvin there is Ivan Golac, Franny Benali, John McGrath with Claus Lundekvam in defence. A midfield of Jimmy Case, Steve Williams and Hughie Fisher. Up front would be Steve Moran, Phil Boyer and Rod Wallace.
Apart from Kelvin, John McGrath and Hughie Fisher, I was guilty of bringing every one of the others to the club.
I am sure providing they put a few training sessions in they could all thrive still in the top level nowadays.
The other names which I would normally have had to fit in somewhere would have been people like Dave Watson, Frank Worthington, Charlie George and Ted McDougall.
However, it was pointed out that they did not play the number of games required to make the list. That did make my job a little bit easier.
Everyone has today and tomorrow left to put their vote in.
You can vote by using this link > >
I hope I am excused for cheating a bit, but like everyone I will be very interested to see who our supporters vote for when the results come out.

Pellegrino: We must “defend what we are”
Show/hide article…
Mauricio Pellegrino has called on Saints to worry less about systems and styles of play and instead “defend what we are.”
The Saints boss has spoken a lot recently about the team’s battle to find an identity, with his side’s footballing style seeming, from the outside at least, still a work in progress.
However, Pellegrino insists that for him identity is not about a formation or a way of playing, but far more than that.
He said: “Identity for me is we have to defend what we are, and it doesn’t matter what happens in the score, on the pitch, with the opponent.
“To be really competitive as a team it doesn’t matter the style of play you can choose for your players.
“Identity is something you have to defend because we are unique, and we have to defend this overall.
“Sometimes, ok, I have to adapt because we have different profile of players, different qualities, and sometimes I have to change a bit because I think they will be comfortable helping the team.
“It’s not about systems, it’s about personality, it’s about to play as a team. That is something completely different than to play well. Be competitive is different to play well, and this for me is identity.”
Saints have another chance to try and build on their identity when they host Burnley at St Mary’s this afternoon.
It feels like an important match in the context of the season, with Saints wanting points on the board ahead of a tough run of games after the upcoming international break.
Pellegrino has hinted that he won’t make many changes from the side that started the 1-1 draw against Brighton for the visit of Sean Dyche’s side.
However, he does still appear to be searching for his best 11.
When asked whether he feels he knows his best team, he replied: “One thing is at the beginning of the season obviously I have got in my mind my best 11, but the best 11 in football, like our life, nothing is fixed.
“Because the football is changing, the player’s own performance is changing and the 11 starters is changing.
“It’s really difficult. One thing is to do your plan with 11 players you play in this way, but the reality is after completely different. The connection between them is different in the past.
“The managers for this reason we have to change.
“We talk after ten games and it looks a lot of time but it’s not a lot of time when you think about the evolution of the team.”

Cork happy to return to familiar ground
Show/hide article…
Jack Cork says he sees a similar team spirit at Burnley to that of the Southampton side he played in who rose to the Premier League.
The midfielder returns on Saturday with Burnley to St Mary’s Stadium, where he spent four seasons from 2011.
“I’m looking forward to going back,” Cork told Burnley’s official website.
“It was a great club for me and probably one of the highlights of my career, getting promoted to the Premier League with Southampton.
“It was a great team and a great spirit we had, similar to what we have here at the minute.”
