Being a Saint

Being a football fan involves so much passion, pleasure and it must be said - pain.

This book is a selection of one Southampton FC fan's highlights over more than 50 years. It's as much about what it's like to be a proud and passionate Saint, with very human experiences, as it is a history of the football club.

All fans are different and Richard provides a personal tongue in cheek tale of the best (and the worse) of the games and eras from 1964 to date.

You will share the old Dell Days, "Give it to Ron", hooliganism, crazy away japes, European adventures, 1976 and all that, Le Tiss, the old Enemy (not Bournemouth), thise great Rickie and Nigel League One days, more recent times and look forward with Richard's next generation of Saints, in the form of his grandsons, already fully inducted as Saints!

The book is a must for Saints fans who will love the memories and story-telling nature of this 50 plus year's history of Being a Saint and all that pain, passion and pleasure.
