</table> Southampton F.C. (originally St. Mary's YMA) is an English football team, nicknamed The Saints. Based in the city of Southampton in Hampshire, the team was formed in November 1885. In 1898 the team moved into The Dell, the ground which was to be their home for over 100 years. However, as a result of poor stadium capacity, the team moved to St Mary's Stadium in 2001. Their finest hour was their FA Cup win in 1976, when they beat Manchester United 1-0. They also were the runners-up in 2003 against Arsenal. On 4 March 2004, Paul Sturrock was named as their manager. He succeeded Gordon Strachan. On 23rd August 2004 it was announced that Sturrock was leaving the club 'by mutual consent', after a disappointing run of form and rumours of boardroom dissatisfaction with his management. He was replaced by Steve Wigley as head coach, with a planned shake-up of the club's coaching structure to follow. It is rumoured that Sir Clive Woodward may replace him.
