The Saints side that hit Wolves for six: Where are they now?

On this day ten years ago, Southampton produced a ruthless display of attacking football as they smashed Wolves 6-0 away from home.

It was a bizarre encounter between the two sides, with the match often being closely-contested and hard-fought, but it was Saints that came away with a hugely convincing victory in absurd circumstances.

George Burley’s side were superb going forward and took the lead through a Marek Saganowski header, before Wolves man Gary Breen tucked the ball into his own net, making it 2-0 to the visitors.

Polish forward Saganowski made it three soon after with a delightful chip, before Wolves were allowed a chance to get a grip of the game. Michael Kightly had the opportunity to pull a goal back at 3-0 down but Bartosz Bialkowski made a smart stop from the penalty.

Leon Best piled the misery on Wolves with the fourth and then Andrew Surman followed suit with a smart finish, making it five goals to the good.

Saganowski completed his hat-trick late on to cap what was a superb victory for Saints.

So, what are the squad from that match up to nowadays? We’ve taken a look.
