I was lucky enough to be at Wembley that day and it will live with me forever. I also received the package of Lawrie and the boys of 76. Fantastic DVD bringing back all the memories. Then I realised the great man Lawrie McMenemy has never been properly honoured by Southampton Football Club. I was wondering whether fans like myself of a certain age could start a campaign to get one of the stands named in his honour. It would be a little gesture to the man who was the main architect behind the success, the greatest day Southampton have ever had.
Wayne Talkes was 68 and had been ill for some time. After moving to the Island with his parents at a young age, he attended the Fairway School in Sandown and captained the Island boys team as well as playing for Bembridge Youth Club. His classmates could see he was destined for greater things. In 1967, he signed as an apprentice with Southampton Football Club. He went on as a substitute in a Combination Cup game against Arsenal, becoming, at 15 years and 180 days, the youngest-ever post-war debutant for the Reserves. He made his first team debut, under Lawrie McMenemy in 1972. At that time, Robert Wakerley shared digs with him while they were both at the football club.

When the red alerts kept flashing all around him at Cardiff’s reopened Superdome, Tadhg Beirne responded by running the ball more often than the entire English threequarters managed 24 hours earlier.
