As a Manutd fan reminiscing about the last day of the 98-99 season, it is easy to forget Pahars’ goals against Everton(??) that saved the saints from being relegated. Anyways, I try not to think about Pahars or Southampton – that 3-3 game when he nutmegged Stam and THAT Le Tessier goal still lives too fresh in my memory. If memory serves me right, he assisted Le Tessier’s second goal as well.

But he was an ‘iffy little player’ as Clive Tyldesley used to describe him. One of the forgotten premier league players of the late 90s and early 00s.

Hope you don’t dream about Shaun Goater next. (Shudders!!)

I remember Pahars of course. Entertaining little player – brings back very nostalgic memories of the Premier League. Always had a soft spot for Southampton, especially The Dell, which was a beautifully set small stadium with a crowd ‘very’ closely packed to the ground. English football atmosphere at its purest.

You could do a piece on Georgiou Kinkladze next perhaps.

Ha ha.. this is one down premier league’s memory lane for me. Nice choice of dream from that Saints team- the only other visuals I can remember apart from Pahars and Svensson are Le Tissier screaming at his team-mates and Strachan screaming even louder at anyone who cared to listen! Had forgotten about this little guy till the post came along! Timely…
