THE look of delight on the faces of goalscorers James Beattie and Brett Ormerod summed up the day perfectly.
Saints beat Watford 2-1 at Villa Park on April 13, 2003 to book their place in the final of the FA Cup.
Goalscorer Ormerod confessed it was “a dream come true”.
Thousands of Saints fans dreamt of further glory in the final against holders Arsenal on May 17, but it wasn’t to be.
However, Saints were assured of a European adventure the following season for the first time in almost 20 years.
These pictures were taken of fans and players celebrating at the match and in the pubs during the semi-final.
