Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which tall England striker moved from Southampton to play for Liverpool in 2005?

Answer: Peter Crouch

Crouchie moved to Liverpool at the end of the 04/05 season and played for England in the 2006 World Cup.

2. Who was christened "Jesus" by the Saints fans in 2006?

Answer: Alexander Ostland

Ostlund is a Swedish right back who George Burley signed in January 2006. He was christened "Jesus" because of his flowing locks and beard, and unlike most players he doesn't do amateur dramatics. Even after a challenge that left him with stud marks across his chest, he did not roll around on the floor or argue with the ref.

3. Which national team did Kenwyne Jones play for in the World Cup 2006?

Answer: Trinidad and Tobago

He played in the group game against England. The score was England 2-0 Trinidad and Tobago. He is a good striker and often does flick-flacks after he has scored.

4. Who captained the famous 1976 FA Cup winning side?

Answer: Peter Rodrigues

This was the first time that Saints have won the FA Cup. They beat Man U 1-0. Bobby Stokes scored in the 83rd minute.

5. Which teenage sensation and Saints Academy product became the youngest player to ever play for England in 2006?

Answer: Theo Walcott

Theo broke Rooney's record in a friendly against Hungary before the World Cup. He is very quick and could have gone into athletics but decided to play football instead. Gareth Bale was the youngest player to play for Wales.

6. What is ex-Saint Fitz Hall's nickname?

Answer: One Size

He was called this because Fitz Hall sounds like "fits all", so "One Size Fits All!" He left Saints to join Crystal Palace in 2005 and then moved to Wigan in 2006.

7. Which Saints goalie was Player of the Season in 2005?

Answer: Antti Niemi

Gordon Strachen signed Niemi in 2002 and he quickly became the number 1 keeper. Claus Lundekvam won Player of the Year in 2006.

8. Which player made two clearances off the line in the Cup Final 2003 and has captained the Saints?

Answer: Chris Baird

He became a regular for the first team under George Burley and has also played a lot of games for Northern Ireland. He captained the Saints when Claus was injured at the beginning of the 06/07 season.

9. Who was referred to as the "Football Genius" from 1999-2004?

Answer: Chris Marsden

He was a very talented left midfielder who will always be remembered by Saints fans as the player with no hair. Gorden Strachan once said that he would buy him a wig for Christmas because he missed an easy header.

10. Which player scored the last competative goal at the Dell in 2001?

Answer: Matthew Le Tissier

Mattie is truly the greatest player to ever play for Southampton. He was very loyal and rejected transfers to big clubs like Chelsea. In his career he scored 208 goals including 49 out of 50 penalties and they were all for Saints. It would have not been right for anyone else to have scored that goal.
