MAY 1st 1976 is a date Saints fans will never forget and a unique show at the Mayflower Theatre on Sunday offers a chance for supporters young or old to remember and honour the victorious squad, along with the most successful Southampton Football Club Manager of all time, Lawrie McMenemy.
The big man will once again lead out his victorious team, but this time onto the Mayflower Theatre stage to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of that great day.
Fans will see highlights from the game as well as hearing the precious memories of Lawrie and the team. Tommy Docherty gives his side of the story; the man who still thinks Bobby Stokes’ winning goal was offside!
There will be tributes from the world of football including many of your Saints heroes and this is your chance to find out what went on behind the scenes during the cup run. Most pundits predicted Tommy Docherty's young Manchester United team to sweep aside Second Division Saints, it was predicted to be one of the most one-sided FA Cup finals ever but Lawrie McMenemy’s ‘Little Bobby Stokes’ and the team had other ideas.
This is an unmissable night out for any Saints fan. Book your tickets now to avoid disappointment.
