  As a southampton Fan, Rickie was one of the top 3 highlights of 40 years of being a dedicated fan and season ticket holder. I doubt he will ever know the joy he brought to so many of us. Saints changed the day he left us, but we understand why. I hope he and his family live long happy lives.

  I AM NOT A FAN OF THE ENGLISH GAME.I HATE IT.THE MENTALITY,THE PAST BULLY CULTURE,THE OBSESSION WITH THE OVER THE TOP PHYSICAL SIDE OF THE GAME TO THE POINT WHERE IT SUPERSEEDED SKILL AND TECHNICAL ABILITY BUT I WATCH THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE SHOW HIGHLIGHTS,(I COULD NEVER WATCH 90 MIN MATCHES) AND HAVE FOR MANY YEARS.MANY PEOPLE IN ENGLAND ARE IGNORANT AND DO NOT KNOW ANY PLAYERS FROM THE LOWER LEAGUES UNLESS THEY GET TO THE PREM,WELL I SAW THIS GUYS CAREER AND I WAS SOOOOOO HAPPY WHEN HE GOT TO THE PREMIERSHIP.WHEN SOUTHAMPTON SIGNED HIM I WAS GLAD AND THE TRUTH IS,IF THEY NEVER GOT PROMOTED HE WOULD HAVE NEVER EVER SNIFFED THE PREMIERSHIP,I WAS WAITING FOR A BIG CLUB TO COME IN FOR HIM BECAUSE HIS FINISHING WAS SUPERB AND HE WAS ALWAYS SCORING.I REMEMBER WATCHING THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE SHOW WHEN THEY GOT PROMOTED AND HE WAS BEING INTERVIEWED,HE WAS SO HAPPY AND I WAS SOOOOOO HAPPY FOR HIM AND WAS SAYING,HE HAS FINALLY MADE IT,I HOPE THE WANKERS DONT SPOIL HIS DREAM AND GET RID OF HIM SAME GOES FOR GRANT HOLT,I WAS EQUALLY HAPPY WHEN HE MADE IT WITH NORWICH TOO.BOTH WERE PROPER FINISHERS WITH FEET AND HEAD AND HAD THEY HAD QUALITY PLAYMAKERS BEHIND THEM WOULD HAVE DONE MUCH BETTER. LAMBERT COULD HAVE PLAYED ON THE CONTINENT AND WOULD HAVE BEEN APPRECIATED.WHEN EVER I WATCHED HIM(SOUTHAMPTON) I USED TO SAY,HE WOULD DO WELL IN HOLLAND AND ACTUALLY HAD HE BEEN DUTCH HE WOULD HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR MILLIONS BY A PREMIERSHIP TEAM,FUNNY ISN&apos;T IT😂 .THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STRIKERS.SOME NEED SERVICE SOME ARE LIKE TEVEZ,SUAREZ ETC WHO CAN TAKE PEOPLE ON,THIS GUY NEEDED SERVICE AND HE WOULD DO THE REST.HE MATURED EXCELLENTLY. ENGLAND DOESNT APPRECIATE PLAYERS LIKE HIM.IF HE WAS DUTCH HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THEIR TOP FLIGHT FOR SURE, HE BELONGED IN A POSSESSION TEAM GETTING SERVICE NOT HAVING TO RUN AROUND WASTING ENERGY. HIS PINNACLE WAS SOUTHAMPTON. THAT WAS THE TOP OF HIS GAME WHERE HIS CAREER REALLY REACHED ITS PINNACLE.WHEN HE WENT TO LIVERPOOL HE DESERVED IT FOR THE FOOTBALL AND FINANCIALLY AND I WAS HAPPY FOR HIM AND GLAD WHEN HE SCORED FOR ENGLAND ON HIS DEBUT &nbsp;EVEN THOUGH I ALWAYS WANT THEM TO LOSE AND LOVE WHEN THEY LOSE.SOME ENGLISH PLAYERS ARE NOT SUITED TO THE KICK AND RUSH GAME AND HE IS ONE. A LOT NEVER WENT ABROAD AND SHOULD HAVE. ANYWAY I AM GLAD HE IS RICH,HE DESERVES EVERY PENNY.<br>YOU MATURED WELL.<br>I SHOULD ACTUALLY BE A SCOUT BECAUSE FROM THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE SHOW I HAVE SEEN CLIPS OF MANY PLAYERS AND TIPPED THEM FOR PREM MOVES AND THEY HAVE.I DONT HAVE TO SEE A LOT.THE BEST ONE I PRIDICTED WAS OLLIE WATKINS WHEN HE WAS AT EXETER.DIDN&apos;T SEE A LOT,JUST WHEN HE SCORED AND SAID TO A GUY IN 2016,THERES A GUY CALLED OLLIE WATKINS AT EXETER,SPURS SHOULD SIGN HIM.SOME YEARS LATER I SAW THE GUY WHEN WATKINS WAS AT VILLA AND HE SAID,I REMEMBER YOU SAYING ABOUT HIM.ALSO VARDY. I SAID TO MY BROTHER WATCH OUT FOR A GUY CALLED VARDY,HE IS GOING TO TERRORISE PREMIERSHIP DEFENCES AND HE DID.DOESN&apos;T TAKE A LOT TO SEE TALENT. FOOTBALL &nbsp;IS A SIMPLE GAME MADE COMPLICATED. LAMBERTS FINISHING WAS EXCELLENT SO YOU BUY THEM ON THAT AND THEY WILL IMPROVE WITH MATURITY.<br>EVEN KEIFER MOORE WHEN HE WAS AT ROTHERAM. I SAID,HE SHOULD BE IN THE PREM AND HE MADE IT.IF SCOUTS DONT WATCH THAT SHOW THEY ARE IDIOTS.
