IN
THAT
NUMBER
transports
the
mere
club
history
to
a
new
dimension…
It
is
a
big
book
in
every
sense
of
the
word,
not
just
full
of
facts
but
enlivened
and
illuminated
with
anecdote…
Of
course,
it
is
a
must-have
for
Southampton
fans,
but
it
is
also
a
significant
work
of
football
reference
in
its
own
right…
IN
THAT
NUMBER
sets
the
yardstick
by
which
every
other
club
history
will
now
be
judged
(John
May,
BBC
Sport
OnLine).
IN
THAT
NUMBER
is
surely
the
most
comprehensive
post-war
history
of
a
football
club…
This
absolutely
magnificent
640-page
book…
is
the
book
that
all
football
fans,
writers
and
statisticians
would
love
to
produce
on
their
own
club.
The
lucky
fans
in
question
are
those
of
Southampton…
Every
Southampton
fan
will
crave
to
be
the
owner
of
this
excellent
work,
while
many
fans
of
other
clubs
will
wish
they
supported
the
Saints
just
for
a
better
reason
to
buy
it
(WINGER:
The
Review
of
British
Football).
Occasionally
there
appears
a
work
that
does
not
merely
imitate
current
material,
but
rather
stretches
the
boundaries
of
what
it
is
possible
to
produce
as
a
club
history…
This
phenomenal
work
on
Southampton
is
an
example…
This
is
a
wonderful
book
and
well
worth
obtaining
(Soccer
History).
A
superb
and
utterly
comprehensive
work
which
details
every
game
and
every
goal
and
is
packed
with
pictures
and
stats
and
trivia
and
info.
It
may
appear
slightly
pricey
at
£35
but
it
is
a
massive
volume
and
worth
every
penny…
We
have
been
crying
out
for
something
like
this
to
provide
definitive
answers
and
comprehensive
records.
But
it
is
much
more
than
that
and
will
be
perfect
for
fans
who
want
to
relive
old
memories
or
learn
about
the
history
of
their
club
(Southampton
FC
Official
Website
-
www.saintsfc.co.uk).
A
truly
extraordinary
feat
of
research…
a
lavishly
illustrated,
season-by-season
guide
to
the
progress
of
Southampton…
What
will
really
drop
your
jaw
to
the
floor
is
that
it
includes
every
reserve-team
line-up
from
1946
to
2003.
A
must
for
Southampton
fans,
obviously,
but
worthy
of
consideration
by
any
serious
football
historian
(Tom
Dart
and
Richard
Whitehead,
The
Times).
IN
THAT
NUMBER
is
certainly
one
of
the
most
impressive
football
books
ever
published,
comprising
640
very
large
pages…
Presentation
is
absolutely
stunning…
This
tremendous
book
really
is
the
last
word
on
its
subject
matter
(Programme
Monthly
and
Football
Collectable).
Beautifully
written…
the
most
lavish
and
capacious
club
history
imaginable.
The
engaging
foreword
by
Matthew
Le
Tissier
is
a
revelation
(Frank
Keating,
The
Guardian).
Probably
the
most
complete
post-war
record
of
any
football
club
ever
published
(Reading
Weekend
Post).
There
is
no
way
any
true
supporter
will
not
want
this
on
their
shelves…
this
must
be
THE
definitive
Labour
of
Love…
It
is
perfect
for
dipping
in
and
out
of
to
revel
in
nostalgia
-
or
as
a
reference
book
to
make
sure
the
media
get
their
facts
right
(Graham
Hiley,
Saints
Official
Matchday
Programme).
