According to the Daily Echo he has a new book out, they say
"A book chronicling the footballing adventures of the man who laid the foundations for the famed Southampton Academy and worked with players including Gareth Bale, Adam Lallana and Theo Walcott has been published.
"The completion of Last Man Standing: John Sainty, from Saint to Saints and Beyond has been a labour of love by John's wife of 20 years Lindsay and author Neil Vacher."
I'm not sure that Ted Bates or Lawrie McMenemy would agree that he was the man who liad the foundations of the "Famed Southampton Academy", we were producing great youngsters for 40 years before he arrived at the Dell with David Jones in 1997.
I think he spent about 5 years at the club running the academy.
His best period was in the 70's and early 80's when he was assistant to John Bond at Norwich City and then Manchester City. |

I watched the last 15 mins of St Paulli v Hoffenheim last night and it looked a cracking game, both sides battling just outside the relegation zone and desperate for points, St Paulli got the win.
The Bundesliga is what we should be aiming for in terms of fans and competiveness, Bayern Munich are way above the rest, but its an open league under them |

So can we take advantage of Wolves missing their top scorer and beat them to get the points that mean we don't have to worry about being labelled the worst ever Premier League team.
Even if we don't onwards and upwards, no one bar Pompey, Deby and ourselves will really remember afterwards anyway |

Thread | Great Home Games Against Wolves
at 17:22 12 Mar 2025
Probably the best one in my time was the Cup victory in 2003, although our 9-3 victory in 1965/66 must have been superb, Chivers 4 goals, Paine 2, Sydenham 2 & George O'Brien.
Bizarrely Wolves scored 1st in the 1st minute
In 1980/81 Saints were missing the injured Kevin Keegan but still won 4-2, Steve Moran scoring the 4th goal in only his 2nd appearance for the club, both as a late sub made it 2 goals out of the 2 games, Mike McCartney, Graham Baker & Chris Nicholl |

The full details arent through yet but this statement has just been released by the club, more to follow.
Southport Football Club can today confirm that they have parted ways with first-team manager Jim Bentley and first-team coach Alan Morgan.
Jim took over the club with the side rooted to the bottom of the National League North and turned the club’s fortunes around, steering us to a comfortable 16th place finish safely above the relegation zone.
The Board of Directors would like to place on record their sincere thanks to Jim and Alan for their dedication and professionalism during their time at the club.
Club Chairman Peter Mitchell said: “On behalf of everyone at Southport FC, I would like to express our gratitude to Jim and Alan for their hard work and commitment. They have conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism throughout Jim’s tenure, and we wish both every success in their future endeavours. “
The Men’s First Team will be overseen by David Morgan as the club undertakes the process of appointing a new management team which we hope to conclude as soon as possible. Any enquiries regarding the position should be directed to club COO Andy Burgess on andy.burgess@southportfc.net
