Remember quite a few of those names in your team that day Piggy, a couple with other clubs though, Johnny Sissons West Ham, Peter Rodrigues more famously for Saints when they won the cup v Man Ure with a Bobby Stokes goal but particularly Craig, Prendergast and Pugh for your lot. Can't beat a bit of nostalgia :-)
Ray Wilson of the 1966 World Cup Winners played for England and Huddersfield Town in the second tier from 1960 to 1964 before transferring to Everton. Terry Paine part of the 1966 England squad also played with second tier Saints at that time
Santos won that game 2-0, it was originally due to be played at 7.30 but due the a national coal strike, energy had to be saved so the floodlights couldn't be used, so it was switched to a 2.30 kick off on a Wednesday afternoon. Many schools were deserted that day with kids and even teachers not turning in due to Pele being at Hillsborough.

Ray Wilson played for Hudds in the game we won 7-6 at the Valley.

I was there. Mr. Shankly was not a happy man.
My Dad would have been there but sad to say my earliest recollection of going to games was later that 57/58 season when he took me to the 4-1 away win at Ipswich on Lewis Coaches. Happy days :-)

Graham Pugh's son Jimmy is a mate of mine actually, Graham went on to be a pub landlord (like most of them ) and Jimmy was a brilliant footballer himself (I played some games with him in training etc) but he never hit it big time and after they all moved to Lincoln to another boozer Jimmy had a spell at non league Lincoln Utd, shame because he had it in him but he liked his booze and women too much owd lad.

Got to be better than wanting wine, women and song and missing out because you were a good footballer! Having siad that, can't think of too many footballers who miss out....
