Former England and Saints goalkeeper Peter Shilton has joined the calls for FIFA president Sepp Blatter to go.

The 65-year-old - who played for Saints between 1982 and 1987 - will find it "crazy and puzzling" if FIFA delegates do not vote him out on Friday and believes it is time to up the pressure and "get rid of the man".

Asked how saddened he was that Blatter did not seem to be going anywhere, Shilton said: "FIFA are the governing body of football and responsible for the World Cup - and millions of football fans over the world must be wondering what's going on there.

"Accusation after accusation against them over the last few years and now it's all come to a head. Sepp Blatter seems to still want to carry on.

"They need a clean sweep and fresh faces at the top and it needs to happen now - there's no doubt about that."

Asked what he made of a possible boycott, Shilton continued: "I think that would be really sad for fans. The World Cup is the greatest tournament anywhere and we want to continue with that.

"Certainly to give it to Qatar with the temperatures was puzzling. They are a football nation, a sporting nation but it didn't make sense and boycotting is a last resort."

Shilton, who won 125 caps in an international career spanning three decades, added: "It would be crazy and puzzling, very puzzling to fans if he isn't voted off.

"They'll be asking questions and it's up to pressure from all everywhere to try and get rid of the man."
