I think it must have been quite sobering for the hierarchy of the club today and the current players. When they look at the calibre of some of our former players on the pitch Kay, Royle, Latchford, Reid, Steven, Bracewell etc that is the standard...
Hanging like a bat today.
An odd feeling. Goodison isn't going anywhere, the ladies team will be playing there. But still, its where we all met to watch the match with after being server an over cooked pie and tepid beer. But we will miss her...
Just thought i would give my thoughts as a Saints fan.
The day was so special & felt very privileged to have shared it with you - probably been said hundreds of times on this tread but the scenes outside, the atmosphere inside was something else...
….like to think I’ve seen virtually all of those ex-players play, I even played with or against a few of them and was thankfully good enough to play at the place i’ve visited as a fan since 1960.
Great seeing the reception for the lads.
Impeccable behaviour by everyone today inside and out the ground.
Brilliant atmosphere before the game, even if I did miss the coach through standing outside the Winslow!
