History

Known as The Saints, it won the FA Cup and spent long spells in the Premier League before Championship cycles. It plays at St Mary's Stadium, successor to The Dell. Red and white colours, a renowned academy (Walcott, Bale, Lallana among English-system products) and southern rivalries shape the identity.
