When the Saints go marching in! Recount the history of Southampton football club via newspaper clippings in this personalised Southampton book. With coverage beginning in 1908, this magnificent piece of Southampton memorabilia guides you through over a century of history, revisiting all the key moments from The Dell, St. Mary’s and beyond, right up until the present day.
Even before joining the Football League, Southampton were a force to be reckoned with in English football. They won the Southern League six out of eight seasons between 1897 and 1904, also reaching two F.A. Cup finals during this period, losing both to Football League sides. The Saints eventually joined the Football League in 1920, starting at the bottom, and it would take 46 years until they were promoted through the divisions into the top flight. After another Second Division promotion in 1978, this time led by Alan Ball, Southampton remained in the top flight for 27 straight years, reaching an F.A. Cup final in 2003 to boot. In more recent years, the Saints have enjoyed something of a Premier League renaissance, finishing in the top half of the table four years in a row between 2014 and 2017, enjoying Europa League football at St. Mary’s as a result.
