Richard Chaplow

Chaplow started his career with Burnley and became a regular for the Clarets after progressing through their youth system.

In all, he made 66 appearances in one-and-a-half years in the first-team before leaving for West Brom.

Just over a year after signing for the Baggies, he joined Saints on loan for the second half of the 2005/06 season and then returned permanently in 2010.

He played 80 times for Saints across the two spells and became an important part of the squad that gained consecutive promotions from League One to the Premier League.
