List of Southampton F.C. players (25–99 appearances)
Southampton Football Club is an English professional football club based in Southampton, Hampshire. The club was formed in St. Mary's in 1885 as St. Mary's Y.M.A., and after being renamed Southampton St. Mary's they played their first competitive match in a national tournament in October 1891, when they entered the First Qualifying Round of the 1891–92 FA Cup. The club began playing at The Dell in 1898, and moved to St. Mary's Stadium in 2001. Since playing their first competitive match, over 1,000 players have made a competitive first team appearance for the club, of whom 285 have made between 25 and 99 appearances, as listed below.
Prominent names amongst these include the then England captain, Kevin Keegan, who made 80 appearances between February 1980 and April 1982, and Alf Ramsey, who played 96 matches in the 1940s, before going on to manage England to victory in the 1966 World Cup. This list also includes players who were trainees at the Saints Academy before having longer careers with other clubs, such as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gareth Bale and Chris Baird, as well as several members of the 2013–14 first-team squad.

Notes
- a ^ For a player who has made an international appearance, his nationality is determined by the country for whom he played at the highest level. For a player who has not made an international appearance, his nationality is assumed to be determined by his place of birth, unless he has established a firm connection with another country.
- b ^ The playing position is that most commonly occupied by the player during his career with Southampton F.C.
- c ^ The dates given for the club career are the calendar years during which the player was under a professional contract to Southampton F.C. or was on loan to the club. For amateur players, the dates are those during which the player was a member of the first-team squad.
- d ^ For players whose career with Southampton F.C. was complete by 1946, the data is extracted from "The Alphabet of the Saints", here indicated as "ABC".[1] For players whose career with Southampton F.C. was complete by 2003, the data is extracted from "In That Number – A post-war chronicle of Southampton FC" here indicated as "ITN".[2] For more recent players, the data is sourced from the player's entry on the Soccerbase database as linked.
