It seems crazy to think now that not too long ago Southampton were one of the most exciting teams in England and regularly finishing in the Premier League top-seven.

With quality players and an even more impressive coaching staff, the Saints were one of the more bigger sides in the country unlike what we have no come to experience from the south coast team in the past few seasons, and a recent starting XI from this golden generation of football from Southampton has recently come to light on social media.

Southampton finished 16th in the table last season, whereas former players Mane, Alderweireld and Virgil van Dijk contested in the Champions League final.
