šŸ—“ On this date in history

21st November, 2017

21st November 1964. One 6 year old finally convinced his dad to take him to his first game.

Saints 6 Rotherham 1.

George Oā€™Brien got the first 3 and Martin Chivers (whose mum we knew) the next 3.

I was hooked.

Canā€™t find it on you tube, butā€¦

20 years ago today the father of the ā€œGreatest ever half-time announcerā€ (and I will stick the nut on anyone who says otherwise) scored his only 1st team goal in a 2-1 win over, coincidentally, tonights opponents.

It was a cracker, I was sat with my Dad in the Archers Rd end, I nudged him and said something like ā€˜look at the space Benali hasā€™ and loā€™ and behold Le Tiss dinked the ball right on his bonce and the rest is legendary. Good times :lou_smiley:

Well how about a badge to cheer you up?

A present from your brothers (and sisters) from another continent.

Is that 54 or 55? Need to know for the badge.
