IT WILL cost him over £100,000 if Saints lift the prized FA Cup today but Southampton jeweller Kim Rose is still praying the team will put on a dazzling performance.
The ardent Saints supporter pledged to refund all sales of diamond jewellery sold at Eclipse Jewellers, Hanover Buildings, during the club's cup run.
Despite the substantial sum Kim stands to lose if Saints win, he still wants the boys to win.
"It's going to be like 1976 in the city now. The atmosphere is unbelievable and there's nothing like it. They're a fantastic club in a fantastic city. I'm Southampton until I die, even if it does mean that I lose loads of money."
"I've got my eye on a nice bench in Hoglands Park in case I do have to pay out. It will be summer time so at least I'll be nice and warm."
