Hampshire Red Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Anyone hear the talksport interview with Francis Banali? He made debut for Saints about the time we had the play off deacle at Walsall so a good way of time-lining his career. Only one league club despite a brief loan out for a few games, i think at Forest. Real nice bloke always into local charity stuff in Hants, particualry with ex Saints mates Le Tiss and Jason Dodds (from Bath). His interview suggests he could do more media work and I'd forgotten he put himself forward to Rupert Lowe as a candidate for Joint Manager (again with Le TIss) - he didnt even get an interview Anyway, wondering who your favourite 'One Club' players are for the City, that you can recall watching. And i mean having played say 100+ games, not one-game wonders. Benali only scored 1 goal in 311 appearances so wonder if that was a pen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ackbird Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Had to laugh when Biff had his testimonial v Villa Graham Taylor wrote a piece in the programme extolling the virtues of the loyalty of the 'one club' man . Shortly after he f****d off to Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 It depends how you define `one club man`. Are they allowed brief excursions away (Scotty, Louis) or if they began their career elsewhere for a short time before pitching up at AG (Scotty again, Tins). The purest example I suppose is Big John but even he played two games for Pompey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could twist it and look for someone like Marvin Brown who I think went non-league after us, but then rejoined in some sort of coaching capacity.

Geoff Merrick but for a few appearances at the end of his career for Gloucester City? Be interested to know the answer. Someone out there will definitely know.
