THEY are the pictures that have got Saints fans dreaming of another hero’s return for Kevin Keegan.
It was one of the most famous days in Saints’ long history when Lawrie McMenemy pulled off one of football’s biggest ever transfer shocks in 1980 by convincing the then European Footballer of the Year Keegan to join his team.
And it would be just as big a shock if these images do show Matt Le Tissier and Leon Crouch meeting Keegan to try and convince him to return to St Mary’s in some capacity.
Kevin Keegan
The pictures, which were taken on Monday, only arrived at the Daily Echo just before going to press late last night but appear to show Le Tissier, Crouch and Keegan outside Le Tissier’s house.
Today, Leon Crouch refused to comment on the possibility of his involvement and whether or not Keegan had been approached.
As revealed by the Daily Echo, if the Pinnacle bid is completed successfully they are understood to be looking to replace head coach Mark Wotte with a British manager.
It may be they have Keegan in their sights, that he could have another role at the club or that the pictures are a friendly coincidence.
That theory especially gains momentum as a highly credible source told the Daily Echo yesterday that talks were beginning with another British manager in a bid to convince him to join the St Mary’s bandwagon.
Le Tissier and Crouch
But just the idea of Le Tissier on the board, maybe even as chairman, and Keegan as manager is a dream ticket for Saints fans to salivate over even if it doesn’t become a reality.
For that to have a chance of coming to fruition however the Pinnacle led group will have to complete their takeover of Saints.
Their three-week period of exclusivity comes to an end tomorrow by which time they hope to have completed the final paperwork and be in a position to pay the cash and land the club.
Le Tissier would be on the new-look board, probably alongside the mystery backer who has put the cash forward, and the rumour mill has been rife for days that former chairman Crouch will also rejoin the Saints powerbrokers, though he has denied any knowledge of this.
Keegan has been out of football management since leaving his second spell at Newcastle in September last year after a public fall-out with controversial owner Mike Ashley.
Before that he had managed Newcastle, who he once led to second in the Premier League, Fulham and Manchester City, gaining a promotion with all three, as well as England.
As a player Keegan, who is an OBE, started his career at Scunthorpe before moving to Liverpool where he won three league titles, a European Cup, two UEFA Cups, and an FA Cup.
Keegan moved to Hamburg in 1977 and helped them to a Bundesliga title before his remarkable switch to Saints.
While playing under McMenemy, Keegan scored 42 goals in 80 appearances. Keegan went on to make himself a Newcastle legend with 48 goals in 78 appearances and had a record for England of 21 goals in 63 games.
One of Keegan’s daughters was born in Southampton and for many years he maintained a home down here despite his work taking him away from the area.

But i very much doubt he will be coming to saints i beleive its just coinsedence here's hoping hey

Also on the post about crouch a little while ago. I disagree I would be happy to be on the board, he was the only one (out of him wilde and lowe)who actually had Saints interests at heart, when the muck hit the fan he put his hand in his OWN pocket and helped keep us going for a short period. My brother see him up the stadium when we first went into admin and he said 3 words 'keep the faith' thats what you want to hear in my opinion

I think it is time for all posters on here to get things into some perspective.As we all know, the 'Echo' sometimes report 'these rumours' for us all to comment on.Having worked for a newspaper myself I know that they do print articles just so that pages can be 'filled'.As for Kevin Keegan returning, lets not forget that he still does live near Romsey.I think we should all wait until the 'deal' is eventually sorted and then and only then talk about players and managers etc.Lets not summise until we all know what is going on.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up but if we can get Keegan as manager it would be amazing. If we've got a bit of spare cash lying around then he would be a dead cert to get us back to the Premier League, and sooner rather than later. He would also put this team right back on the map overnight. If it happens then everyone involved with the Pinnacle bid should earn the freedom of the city.

At our level of football Keegan would be great and he knows the club which I think the way we are at teh moment is really important. I don't know if he is that amazing a manager but I am sure he'd be good enough for legaue one. I read his autobiography where he wrote one of his dreams was to manage a tiny team from the lower leagues and take them all the way to the top.. But, surely, we can't afford him

I've just seen Kevin Keegan with what appeared to be Matt Le Tissier, Tony Lynam and another man who I could not recognise pull up in a car outside St. Mary's, I presume to get all the paperwork done.
I've also heard that Mark Wotte will stay on at the club as an assistant to Keegan.

scunny i don't care if he's managed in league one befopre or not,that ain't the point and it's not important,tell what experience did martinez have when he started with swansea,what about ince when he started with macclesfield.And no nick illingsworth did not finish on a high note,he finished with another pessimistic view with bloody droaning voice and i think hes a tit! my opinion of course,which last time i checked i was allowed
