Best Saints team you've ever seen. 14:46 - Jun 4 with 3868 viewssaint901

Pick 11 first teamers and two subs based on ALL the players you've seen turn out for us. Mix and match players who are alive, dead, played once or played hundreds of times.

Aim is to have the best team we could have ever fielded.

We'll start with keeper and a back 3/4/5.

Later midfield and forwards - unless you want to do them all together.

For me (all more than 100 appearances)

Keeper - Shilton

Right back - Soares
CB - John McGrath
CB - Mark Wright
Left Back - David Peach

Right back - Ivan Golac
Central defender Mark Wright
Central defender Virgil Van Dijk
Left back - Mark Dennis

Is this for how they’ve turned out, or simply how good they were for us? So like would Bale be a contender as a fullback or the winger he was for Madrid?

Based on how they played for Saints.

Not necessarily the best, perhaps the ones you enjoyed most or who you thought were entertaining or committed or anything else that makes them stand out for you.

Nothing is off the books (but Mark Dennis - really - he was always a red card waiting to happen).

Dennis was the best left back we’ve had by a country mile ffs. Just because he was hot headed doesn’t mean to say he wasn’t the best .

No point being the best of you're watching from the stands?

I'm going for a 4-3-1-2 formation.

So I need three midfield players.

Central defensive mid - Nick Holmes
Alongside Steve Williams and Alan Ball.

Clueless pal how can you put Nick Holmes in there ? good player but not the best by a long way.

Well I thought we were picking the ones we actually saw play ourselves? As yeah I sure would’ve loved to have seen him play, but seeing how I’m not over 40, unfortunately I didn’t get the opportunity to do so

One of the problems with this type of thing is you can't really compare players across time. Take Ivan Golac. He was a decent player, a fans favourite and did well for Saints. But, as a player he wasn't a patch on KWP or Clyne for that matter. If he was available today, he might be behind Bree in the pecking order.

Also, not a popular view, but I reckon that by the time he'd developed, Tim Flowers was doing a better job for Saints than Shilton did.

The cohort of young players which included Nick, also included me. He clearly "made it", I did not.

Consequently I played in the same team as Nick a number of times. He was solid, dependable, always available for a pass, protective of other players and generally always geeing up other players and being unselfish himself.

When he made the first team, he was the same.

This is not about the "best" players but rather those who appeared for us who we enjoyed watching and who we think brought a little extra to the team.

For me, Nick fits that description.

Yeah it's funny how often the players that make it aren't the "best" players, i used to play football with Lukas Jutkiewicz as he grew up near me (his sister was in the same year at school with the sister of one of my best mates).

He was definitely not the most naturally gifted or "best" player out of our group, but he was definitely the most serious about playing and hardest working.

The best player i played with never got further than playing for Totton occasionally as he enjoyed going on out on the piss more than training

What this thread has pointed out is just how many great players we have had and it is hard to compare them, Golac played 167 League games for Saints, Nathaniel Clyne played just under half that with 89, Golac was a very good right back for Saints.

Not sure I can agree with you about Flowers, Shilton was the undisputed best goalkeeper not only in England but the World during his time at the Dell, but he was only about 3rd/4th choice for England at best
