Southampton FC Home and Away Premier League Football Tickets for Sale

Southampton Football Club was founded in 1885. Originally named St Mary's YMA (Young Men's Association), they had a couple more name changes until settling on Southampton FC in 1896. Spending half of their existence in the lower leagues it wasn't until 1966 that they initially gained top flight status. Finishing runners-up to Manchester City they were allocated a promotion slot. By and large with a couple of periods out of it Southampton have been in the top flight ever since. They are now in their 10th consecutive season in the Premier League.

Some Southampton fans may say Mick Channon but most would say Matt Le Tissier is their most legendary player. A Channel Islander by birth Le Tissier is once of the most gifted players to have played in the United Kingdom. With memberships to the 'extraordinary goals club' and 'unbelievable pieces of individual skill' club Le Tissier turned down offers from 'bigger clubs' to stay with the Saints. 

Looking back over 'Le God's' goals, a little chip against Manchester United and a remarkable finish against Newcastle United legendary status is no exaggeration.

A decade after they entered the top flight Southampton won their most prized piece of silverware, the FA Cup. Bobby Stokes scored the winning goal in front of just under 100,000 fans packed into Wembley Stadium for the most anticipated matchday of the season.

En-route to the final they beat Crystal Palace in the semi-final at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge and in the third round got past a stubborn Aston Villa side after a replay at Villa Park. 

The Saints would reach the FA Cup Final again in 2003, this time on the end of a 1-0 scoreline against Arsenal.

Despite being born in Portsmouth James Ward-Prowse has spent his whole career at the Saints and is one of their best and most skillful players.

He once scored two free-kicks in a game against Aston Villa.

A mix of young players like former Spurs junior Kyle Walker-Peters and old players such as Theo Walcott, resigned from Everton the Saints are well equipped for the Premier League.
