Paul Tisdale

Tisdale came through the Saints youth academy and worked his way into the first-team squad between 1995 and 1996.

In all, he made 16 senior appearances but has continued his links with the club into his managerial career by loaning Saints youngsters.

His first job in the football league was at Exeter City, where he earned huge respect for his 12 year spell as manager.

Having moved on from the Grecians, his subsequent tenure at MK Dons didn’t go so well and he is now without a club, but will surely be back in football at some stage.
