Academy graduate Yan Valery is the programme cover star as SAINTS returns for tomorrow’s Premier League clash against Crystal Palace under the lights at St Mary’s.
The 19-year-old defender speaks about the responsibility he feels to represent the club’s proud youth system in the right manner, and how he hopes his own performances have played some part in the increasing number of young stars being given a crack at life in the first team under Ralph Hasenhüttl.
Elsewhere, Nathan Redmond speaks about his excellent run of form, as Saints eye a third successive league victory.
Valery’s fellow Staplewood graduate Tyreke Johnson is under the microscope as we go back in time with another former scholar, while Benni Smales-Braithwaite tackles our 20-question Academy feature.
Our history section continues to provide a welcome dose of nostalgia, while David Bull remembers late Saint Johnny Walker, who sadly passed away last week.
For younger supporters, there are the usual eight pages of quizzes and games to keep the kids entertained at half time. Just don’t forget a pen to fill in the answers!
There is the traditional coverage of our opponents, including tactical insight from Bleacher Report’s Sam Tighe, while Hasenhüttl and Saints legend Franny Benali bookend the magazine with their latest thoughts.
