Staff picture by Roger Elliott. DA4807P35Respected Sal-isbury referee Roger East was the fourth official at St Mary's on Monday for Saints' friendly clash with Ger-man champions Bayern Munich. The highly entertaining game, played for the inaugural Ted Bates Trophy, ended in a 1-1 draw after Michael Ball-ack's second half strike cancelled out Brett Ormerod's early effort. Saints stalwart Fran-cis Benali (pictured right with East, Saints boss Gordon Strachan and coach Dennis Rofe), made his farewell app-earance for the club, and re-ceived a deser-ved standing ovation when he came on as a late substitute.
