SAINTS: Walker-Peters stars as final feature interviewee

SAINTS returns for the visit of Liverpool, with Kyle Walker-Peters the subject of an extended feature interview inside.

The defender, who earned his first England caps during the season, reflects on his personal progress in a year when he was one of Saints’ standout players in multiple positions.

As usual, there’s also an insight into life off the pitch, with the 25-year-old revealing his many passions away from football.

Elsewhere, we pay tribute to Dave Merrington, who will be in the commentary box for the last time at a Saints home game this evening, after nearly two decades as the undisputed voice of matchday to thousands of people.

As always, Ralph Hasenhüttl and Franny Benali bookend the publication, sharing their respective thoughts on the season as a whole, also looking ahead to this week’s finals for Saints Under-18s and Southampton FC Women.

There’s the usual blend of nostalgia from our club historians and popular kids’ quiz for our Junior Members, ensuring there’s something for all ages, while Sam Tighe provides a tactical analysis of our quadruple-chasing opponents.

Supporters can pick up issue 23 of the programme from one of the numerous sellers outside St Mary’s and inside the stadium concourse, enhancing your matchday experience for just £3.50.
