The Legacy
Draper Tools sponsored Southampton throughout their 1987-1988 First Division campaign, which saw the club finish in 12th place. Chris Nicholl managed the side as they navigated a competitive top-flight landscape. This period saw the emergence of Matt Le Tissier and Alan Shearer, both beginning their paths to becoming club legends. Jimmy Case provided essential experience in midfield during this season. These players formed a core part of the team's identity while competing against the best sides in England. The squad played their league fixtures while carrying the Draper Tools branding across their Hummel equipment.
