Southampton’s reintegration into the Championship has gone well thus far.

For a long time, the club competed in the top division, but recent struggles have left them in the bottom of the Premier League, and last year they were relegated as a result.

One of the early season favorites to return to the Premier League is Southampton, and thus far, they have lived up to the hype.

During the summer transfer window, the club saw a number of roster changes, but one area of

Boyer first signed with the Saints in 1977 and remained there for three years until leaving in 1980 to sign with Manchester City.

He reportedly played 15 times for the team and scored four goals while doing so.

Wallace, who graduated from Southampton’s youth, made his club debut at the age of just 16.

In nine years, he appeared over 100 times for the team, but in 1989, he left for Manchester United at a then-record sum of £1.2 million for a Southampton player.

Wallace had to give up football after receiving a tragic multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 1996.

Pahas played 156 times in his career with Southampton, scoring 45 goals.

He was dubbed the “little Latvian” and quit the team in 2006 after suffering multiple injuries.

Even though Alan Shearer does not play football, most football fans are familiar with him because he is a Match of the Day analyst.

Shearer spent time at Southampton during his playing career in addition to playing for Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers, and England.

Before leaving the team in 1992 to join Blackburn, he made 158 appearances for the Saints throughout four seasons, scoring 43 goals.

Younger Southampton supporters might only be familiar with Kevin Keegan as a former manager and current TV pundit; they won’t remember him as a player.

Throughout his career, Keegan played for a variety of teams, including Liverpool, Newcastle, and Southampton.

He signed up with the Saints in 1980, where he played for two years before switching to the Magpies. He made 20 appearances for the team and scored 11 goals throughout those contests.

Beattie played for Saints from 1998 to 2004, and during that time he helped Southampton reach the FA Cup Final in 2003.

Beattie played 232 games for the South Coast outfit and scored 76 goals, and his form at the club earned him a move to Everton for £6 million.

The former Saints striker has now moved into coaching after retiring from football, with his last role being Wigan Athletic assistant manager.

This may be a player who some will say isn’t a striker, as he more often than not played behind the forwards, but Le Tissier did play as a striker as well.

Le Tissier scored 166 goals in 442 games for the club and was at times integral to keeping the Saints in the Premier League. He was also deadly from the penalty spot, as that was one of the strongest parts of his game.

Le Tissier may be known to more of the younger Southampton fans, as he was regularly seen on the Soccer Saturday panel on Sky Sports up until a few seasons ago. He is now an ambassador for the club and is regularly seen at their football games.

Channon may not be known by the younger Southampton supporters, but he is the club’s current all-time leading goalscorer in the club’s history.

The former striker scored 227 goals in 607 appearances, and that was done across two different spells with Southampton.

Moran was the major threat for Southampton during the 1983–84 season, when the team finished second in Division One.

Now, according to Martin Sanders, he regards Ron Davies, out of all these strikers to play for the club, as Southampton’s greatest ever striker.

Davies was signed by the South Coast side to try and cope with top-flight football, as they were in that league for the first time.

Davies was an excellent signing for the club, as he went on to score 153 goals in 281 career appearances for the club. Davies also went on to represent his country, Wales, on the international stage.
