CHANCES are it was your dad who first took you to see Saints.

It's the way the majority of football fans are introduced to the "beautiful game".

For that reason Tim Manns's new book Tie a Yellow Ribbon is perhaps the ideal Father's Day present for Saints fans this Sunday.

Alongside Saints' historian David Bull, Tim provides a colourful account of Saints' greatest achievement the 1976 FA Cup triumph.

Relive the road to Wembley as the book takes in all eight games of that memorable '76 cup run.

With exclusive player interviews and fans' first-hand accounts of the final, Tie a Yellow Ribbon is a must for all Saints supporters.

Indeed Tim, who is director of The Saint radio station, was at Wembley for that May Day final with his father, along with thousands of other Saints fans who made the trip with their dads.

Fans including Elaine Bushrod (nee Hedges) who went with her dad, Charlie now 94 and still a St Mary's regular recount their tales of '76.

The Daily Echo has teamed up with Tim and David to offer Tie a Yellow Ribbon, priced £15.99, through two of our branch offices.

Just drop in to the Echo shops at 4, Hanover Buildings in Southampton, 17, High Street in Eastleigh or the Echo HQ at Test Lane in Redbridge, Southampton, to pick up your copy.
