Thanks Theo & Oxo
Those Saints fans waiting to leaveSt mary's after the game had a pleasant surprise from two of Arsenal's players.
Before the Arsenal game I wrote of how both Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain should be warmly welcomed back to St Mary's for their first return to the club, in the case of Theo its been seven years since he left and with Oxo only eighteen months, but in a nice gesture from both players after the final whistle they showed that they still have a lot of affection for Southampton Football lub and its fans.
Both players came back on to the pitch after the game and walked to all sections of the ground and applauded the Saints fans who in turn applauded them back, in today's cynical game something of this nature is not seen very often with most players not caring who they play for as long as the money is big, Theo & Alex didnt have to do this, no one expected it and no one would have thought any different if they hadnt, but the fact is they did and it was appreciated by all who witnessed it.
