Felix is a Saint

The Story and History of Saint Felix I
Felix was a Roman by birth, and succeeded St. Dionysius in the government of the Church in 269. Paul of Samosata, the proud Bishop of Antioch, to the guilt of many enormous crimes added that of heresy, teaching that Christ was no more than a mere man, in whom the Divine Word dwelt by its operation and as in its temple, with many other gross errors concerning the capital mysteries of the Trinity and Incarnation. Three councils were held at Antioch to examine his cause, and in the third, assembled in 269, being clearly convicted of heresy, pride, and many scandalous crimes, he was excommunicated and deposed, and Domnus was substituted in his place. As Paul still kept possession of the episcopal house, our Saint had recourse to the Emperor Aurelian, who, though a pagan, gave an order that the house should belong to him to whom the bishops of Rome and Italy adjudged it. The persecution of Aurelian breaking out, St. Felix, fearless of danger, strengthened the weak, encouraged all, baptized the catechumens, and continued to exert himself in converting infidels to the Faith. He himself obtained the glory of martyrdom. He governed the Church five years, and passed to a glorious eternity in 274.

His re-incarnation, FELIX II went on to great success as a German footballer and subsequent coach.
He is currently Manager at Fulham FC, the oldest club in London, England (Older than Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham, Charlton, Brentford, Wimbledon, Crystal Palace, Millwall, Watford and Leyton Orient)
Although not yet afforded Martyrdom, his many followers will hope he reaches that acclaimed success.

Hence his being linked with Southampton.

Savonarola -- an excellent center mid in his day -- saw this all happening long ago.
