SAINTS legend Lawrie McMenemy has described tomorrow's game against Sheffield United as "the most critical in the club's history."
Saints know that even a win might not be enough to stop them sliding into the third tier of English football for the first time since 1960.
McMenemy, writing in his exclusive Daily Echo column today, said: "I would ask everyone to put politics to one side for 90 minutes, acknowledges the good things which are still around our club and that we all pull together."
McMenemy has chatted to FA chairman Lord Triesman and Football League chairman Lord Mawhinney in recent weeks, and said: "I only hope and pray that the good Lord turns up in the red and white shirt tomorrow."
