GORDON STRACHAN is back at St Mary's today insisting he's had "the time of my life" since quitting Saints almost a year ago.

The former Saints boss, who remains a hero in the city after guiding the club to the FA Cup final two years ago, has enjoyed himself since resigning on February 13 last year.

"There has probably only been two days when I've been bored," he said ahead of his visit to Saints today as a BBC pundit for the FA Cup derby.

"I've enjoyed being me and doing things I'd never done such as snorkelling, strawberry-picking, going to the Edinburgh festival and seeing Australia."
