Southampton will be looking to bring home their first major trophy since 1976 when they face Manchester United in the EFL Cup final on Sunday.

Claude Puel takes his side, who have never won the League Cup, to Wembley Stadium having beaten all Premier League opposition, in Crystal Palace, Sunderland, Arsenal and Liverpool, en route to the final.

The Saints have been well overdue a cup run since their return to the top flight in 2012, after a seven year absence, and will go into the clash with history on their side, having beaten United to win the FA Cup at the national stadium in ’76.

However, the south coast side have tasted victory under the arch in more recent years. During their spell in the lower leagues, former manager Alan Pardew took his League One side to the final of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, now the Checkatrade Trophy, where they beat Carlisle 4-1.

It has been seven years since the Saints last walked out at Wembley, but what has happened to the team which lifted the JPT? Take a look…

GK: Kelvin Davis

The shot-stopper went on to become a Saints icon, staying with the club for ten years before retiring and joining the coaching setup at the end of last season.

Super Kelv, as he became known at St. Mary’s, represented the club at every level from League One to the Premier League and was named club captain before calling it a day.

RB: Dan Harding

The full back, who usually operated on the left of the back four, but was deployed as a right-back on the big day at Wembley, left the club to join Nottingham Forest in 2012, before falling down the leagues and playing for a club just down the road from St. Mary’s, Eastleigh.

Harding now plys his trade for National League South side, Whitehawk, further along the coast in Brighton.

CB: Jose Fonte

The former Crystal Palace man, who joined the Saints the season they won the JPT, was part of a core of players who drove the club to successive promotions into the Championship and then the Premier League.

The Portugal international went on to captain the club in the top flight, in the wake of Adam Lallana’s departure to Liverpool, and won the European Championships in 2016 with his country.

After a fallout with the club’s hierarchy the centre-half joined Premier League rivals West Ham in January, meaning there were no longer any members of the side which won promotion left in the first team setup.

CB: Radhi Jaidi

The former Tunisia international, who joined the Saints from Birmingham in 2009, retired upon the club’s return to the Premier League in 2012 and moved into a behind the scenes role.

Jaidi is now the assistant manager for the U23’s at Southampton.

LB: Joseph Mills

A graduate of the Saints academy, alongside brother Matt, Mills never really made the cut at St. Mary’s and, after spells with Reading, Burnley and Oldham, with other loans sandwiched in, the 27-year-old now turns out for Perth Glory in the Australian A-League.

CM: Dean Hammond

The industrious central midfielder, who captained the Saints on their day at Wembley, slowly fell down the pecking order upon their Premier League return with Morgan Schniederlin, Steven Davis and Victor Wanyama sharing the role.

Hammond went out on loan to Brighton before securing a move to Leicester, however, upon the arrival of Claudio Ranieri the ex-Saint was again out of a side.

The former Colchester man then secured a loan move to Sheffield Wednesday, before signing a permanent deal, where is remains today.

CM: Paul Wotton

The Plymouth Argyle stalwart joined Saints from the Pilgrims in 2008 and played a key role in helping the club through some tough times as they rebuilt after administration.

Leaving the club in 2011 Wotton joined Yeovil after making his loan deal permanent before returning to Plymouth where he retired in 2015 to become a first team coach.

RW: Michail Antonio

A goalscorer on the day at Wembley, Antonio was on loan at Saints from Reading in a series of temporary deals, before leaving to join Sheffield Wednesday.

The now-England international then left Wednesday and joined Nottingham Forest before making the step up to West Ham, where he is now one of their key men.

LW: Adam Lallana

A graduate of the Saints academy, Lallana was handed the Saints captaincy when they made their return to the top flight and, after two successful seasons in the Premier League with the club – which resulted in a call up to the national side for the 2014 World Cup – he was picked up by Liverpool.

The playmaker was a key man for the likes of Pardew and later Nigel Adkins and Mauricio Pochettino, leaving after 12 years with the club.

ST: Papa Waigo

The Senegal international was another goalscorer on the day at Wembley, part of the squad for the season on loan from Fiorentina.

Since leaving the club, the forward had a brief spell in Serie B before moving around the Middle East, he know plys his trade for Al-Orooba in the United Arab Emirates.

ST: Rickie Lambert

Opening the scoring in the final with a trademark penalty, Rickie Lambert went on to become a legend at Southampton, spearheading the march from League One to the Premier League.

Having also, rather surprisingly, been snapped up by Bredan Rodgers at Liverpool in the summer of 2014, Lambert then moved onto West Brom before dropping back into the Championship with Cardiff City.
