Fear not, for the Pagan Princess, Ceridwen "Dragonoak" Connelly, a local Celtic witch, was hired in to exorcise (not exercise) the stadium, which had been built on land once known as an Anglo-Saxon village, Hamwick. Clearly there were ghoulies about.
It all went well for The Saints, as Ms Connelly worked her magic successfully and the Saints took on The Addicks (from the ancient valley of Charlton) and in front of over 31,000 witnesses won points off their opponents, in a 1-0 win. Phew..mind you that doesn't explain the plight that Southampton is in at the moment!!
On Friday 24th November 2017 it became known that the once magical footballer, 37 year old Michael Owen, who used to ghost through defences, was going to be a jockey, certainly a trainer of horses and probably a breeder (not personally of course). Michael lost a stone in weight to ride a thoroughbred race horse (looking at Michael this morning on the TV as he did his pundit's job, it appears that he has put it and some more back on). Michael rode Calder Prince to second place in the Prince's Countryside Fund Race at Ascot. Michael's reaction to this was that he likened the experience to playing against Brazil in the World Cup quarter-finals....he came second in that too.
Not far from Southampton are Ken Cunningham-Brown's racing stables and today a man in the know, Richard Lewis, was informed that one of Ken's horses,Waseem Faris, was running in the 2.35 at Lingfield, priced at 10-1. The news got to me too late to put money on and just as well, for the horse was clearly under a spell as it came in 5th.
