Whilst with Southampton, he appeared in two FA Cup Finals and won six Southern League championship medals and was the only player ever to do so.[1] Playing careerMeston was born in Arbroath and started his career with his local team, Arbroath Victoria before signing as a professional with Stoke in January 1894.[2] Meston spent two seasons at the Victoria Ground making thirteen appearances scoring four goals.[2] At the end of the 1894–95 season, he joined Southampton, together with several other Stoke players and soon proved to be one of the most valuable players signed for the Saints in their Southern League days. His trademark hard shots were nicknamed Long Toms after a cannon used during the Boer War and elsewhere.[3] He played in a variety of positions, although his favourite position was at right-half. Whilst at Southampton, he won a record six Southern League championship medals and appeared in the FA Cup finals in 1900, defeating three First division clubs on the way,[4] and 1902. He made a total of 288 appearances for the Saints, including 42 in the FA Cup (a total only exceeded by Terry Paine and Nick Holmes).[3] After 11 seasons with the Saints, he left in May 1906 to join Salisbury City and also played for Croydon Common and Eastleigh Athletic. After leaving full-time football, he worked as a brake-fitter at the Eastleigh railway depot.[3] Two decades later his son, Sammy Meston also played for Southampton, as well as for Everton and Tranmere Rovers.
