List of Southampton F.C. players

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of notable footballers who have played for Southampton since 1945.

To be on this list, players must meet at least one of the following criteria:

Have played 100 or more first-team matches for the club.
Have scored 30 or more first-team goals
Have appeared in either of the F.A. Cup finals since 1945.
Have played at least half of the league games in the 1966 or 1978 promotion seasons.

Even within these fairly broad criteria, some famous players are excluded e.g. Sir Alf Ramsey, David Webb, Charlie George and Dave Watson as are 2 well-remembered players, Tommy Jenkins and Steve Mills; more recently Kevin Phillips also fails to meet the criteria.

For a list of all Southampton players, major or minor, with a Wikipedia article, see Category:Southampton F.C. players.

Players are listed according to the date of their first-team debut for the club. Appearances and goals are for all first-team competitive matches only. Substitute appearances are included.

NOTE: Please do not simply add one to appearance figures for current players after a match; these statistics may not have been updated for several weeks and may be out of date. It is preferable if the statistics are updated at the end of a season, or if a player is transferred out of the club. Please check a reliable source such as the BBC website or www.soccerbase.com [1] for the correct figures.
