Jamie Lyon is my favourite ever player to play for us. The fella was incredible. One of my memories of him was actually during a home defeat to Leeds. We didn't get a sniff all game, we were useless. Leeds I think were 18 or 19 nil up. 10 minutes left and up steps Jamie Lyon who was singlehandedly responsible for the 3 try's in response. They did us by a point in the end but what a finish.
Remember the game well. Got to a point in the game where we just ended up spinning the ball out to him and let him run at them. Nearly came off too
Fantastic player and up there with my favourites at Saints. Didn't look much physically at first glance but then you'd see him with the ball in his hands. Speed, could step off both feet and could go both ways, had great hands to put his winger away and one day we asked him to kick for goal and was brilliant at that too. Was such a threat for us down the right, must have felt like Christmas every day playing outside of him.
