Southampton Greatest All-Time Team (Starting XI And Subtitues)

Описание: Southampton were originally founded at St. Mary's Church, on 21 November 1885 by members of the St. Mary's Church of England Young Men's Association.

Their home ground since 2001 has been St Mary's Stadium, before which they were based at The Dell. The club has been nicknamed "The Saints" since its inception in 1885 due to its history as a church football team.

This is my selection of a 23 member all-time team for Southampton.

Squad Explanation
GOALKEEPERS
Peter Shilton is probably England's greatest goalkeeper. The prime of his career was spent with Southampton. Tim Flowers also had a wonderful career as a young player that led to a even greater career elsewhere. The third goalkeeper is a question mark. Eric Martin, Tommy Allen, Antti Niemi, Ian Turner, George Clawley, Kelvin Davis and Paul Jones are considered. In the end, I chose Tommy Allen who had the most appearance for the club.
DEFENCE
Ivan Golac is Southampton's first ever foreign player. He is also considered among their best ever defender.
Leftback Tommy Traynor is Southampton record
appearance holder. Luke Shaw also made his name here as a left back, but I preferred someone with a longer career here.
Nick Holmes can also play in the left back position. He won the FA Cup with them. He was an unsung hero of the club.
MIDFIELD/WINGERS
Alan Ball had two spells with the club. Later, he coached the team.
Matt Le Tissier is one of the most technically gifted English players of his time. John Sydenham, Terry Paine and Ron Davies formed a dangerous trio. However, I only have spaces for Davies and Paine.
FORWARDS
Martin Chivers helped the club to grain promotion in 1966, but he spent most of his career in the 2nd division. He was often viewed as a second fiddle to Ron Davies and Mick Channon. I do not have space for him. Lambert actually scored over 100 goals for the club.
