Steve Williams was one of the finest players of his generation and although we chatted to him about the 4th Round at Fratton Park in 1984, we got so much more out of him that we decided to put it out in its entirety.
The list of topics covered:
Captaining Southampton's Greatest Side
His love of Arsenal
The South Coast Derby
Frank Worthington
Steve Moran's goal
The 1984 Semi Final v Everton
Mick Channon encouraging a move to Arsenal
Finally moving to Arsenal & his role in their resurgence
Why selling your best players is a joke
A Kenny Sansom story v Saints
Getting the '84 lads together again
His Arsenal heroes
How Southampton were at The Dell:
Ted MacDougall, Peter Osgood, Phil Boyer, Peter Shilton, Bobby Stokes
Getting a £5 tip
Being gifted Puma boots
Getting a Puma contract and not wearing Patricks
Collecting football memorabilia kits, pin badges & photos
Being an apprentice, forging Ossie's signature and his part in winning the FA Cup
A skint 'urchin' from London
Where England went wrong in not picking their best midfield - Robbo & Willo.
That's a decent list that was completely unplanned.
A top class player - unfazed and totally honest.
Thanks to Steve Williams for his time.
Much Love,
Stig, Mick & Marv
