The south coast side wore a special 50th anniversary kit to mark the occasion, which commemorates the club's 1976 FA Cup triumph.

Southampton may need 'special dispensation' from the FA to wear the same jersey in the FA Cup semi-final later in April, according to David Ornstein.

However, the Athletic reporter also stated that the FA could make an exception, depending on who the Saints draw in the final four.

Will we see the famous yellow shirt donned at Wembley this season?
