No player knows how much the South Coast Derby means to Southampton than former Saint Rickie Lambert, and the club legend has given a few words to the team ahead of tonight’s must-win game.
A video released on the club’s official Twitter account sees the now-retired striker hype up both supporters and players for the match against Portsmouth tonight, and fans on social media were more than happy with what they heard.
Here is what some fans had to say on Twitter…
Sir Rickie knows! Just get the job done!
