SAINTS fans are willing to risk everything to put their team top of the league, new figures have revealed.

An online survey found that eight out of ten fans were prepared to chance divorce as well as show the red card to their closest friends rather than miss match day outings.

Two-thirds of fans admit to wearing nothing but Saints colours - and one in five will also opt to live with their parents in order to fund their love of the beautiful game.

Other admissions include missing grandparents' funerals to watch matches, arranging family holidays around matches and naming children after Saints legends.

The survey of 189 fans was part of a search by Hampshire company Virgin Media to find Britain's biggest football fan.
