Description


The Saints Miscellany collects together all the vital information you never knew you needed to know about Southampton FC. In these pages you will find irresistible anecdotes and the most mindblowing stats and facts. Heard the one about the TV pundit who vowed to appear naked if Richard Dryden was a success? How about the Saints player who was less important to his manager than a pot of yoghurt? Or the new signing who arrived at the club in a battered brickie's van? Do you know which Saint gained a medal in the 1950 World Cup final? Which player was sent off on a stretcher? Or which coach who has been sacked three times by the club? All these stories and hundreds more appear in a brilliantly researched collection of trivia, essential for any Saints fan who holds the riches of red-and-white history close to their heart.
