In Catalonia there used to be a half-hour programme every Monday where they'd show the best goals from the Premier League. Every week, Matt Le Tissier would be on the show. I'm talking outrageous, sickening goals. Straight in the top corner, left-foot flick and then right over a defender and score against Newcastle. We used to say: 'This guy, Le Tissier, is outrageous and he never goes to a big team. He stays at Southampton. It's incredible. He could play for anyone.' Our whole house was obsessed with him. His talent was simply out of the norm. He could simply dribble past seven or eight players but without speed - he just walked past them. - Xavi

So, Pompey fan here. Those that don’t know, Pompey are the more successful, better supported rivals of scumhampton. Now, with that in mind, it greatly pains me to acknowledge Le Tosser (as we affectionately call him) was pretty good. I will never forget his goal against Newcastle (the last one on the video). My whole family watched it on a Sunday, and when he scored, for a very brief moment, we forgot he was a scummer. My Dad, my brother and I all jumped up, knowing we had just seen a superb goal that would be spoken about for years to come. We then remembered he was a scummer, and so naturally called offside, lucky, fluke, miss-kick etc. When my boy was born, the poor bugger had no chance, he came out of hospital wearing his Pompey baby grow, blue scarfs, mittens…. The lot. With this in mind, a couple of years ago we were talking football, and he mentioned Danny Ings. I said, check out Le Tosser, he was above average. The next day, he was telling me how brilliant he was (I’m still ashamed), how good his goals were (DNA test needed) and how much of a loyal team player he was (dissowned). All joking aside, a rival supporter can salute greatness, and Le Tissier was great. PUP

We often heard/hear how lazy Le Tissier was, yet look at his results on the pitch; his goalscoring record, which was very impressive given that he played either as a second striker or attacking midfielder, and the joy he brought to the fans every time he played. England, perhaps until recently, always had an obsession with athleticism, over technique and imagination, that's why we saw the likes of Hoddle, Wilkins, Scholes, Carrick either being played out of position, not utilized properly, or not getting the number of caps their club form merited. I believe this is one of main areas which held England back on the International stage in previous decades.

Poor quality recording but the distance he hits it from combined with the fact he lobs Tim Sherwood (who was essentially on his line) makes it another level. Lots of players would hit a shot from range (Jamie Redknapp and Frank Lampard would try it every 5 minutes), but where it ended up was often a lottery. Le Tissier would pick a spot and hit it. That's the difference.

This guy should of been out best england player ever so much talent
@carnalea24246 ай бұрын
But no England manager at the time gave him many caps. Were they all wrong? Even Hoddle, who you'd think would have always picked him, only chose him a few times. Could it be he needed players who actually worked hard for the team? At Southampon, he did as he pleased which suited them all. But at international level, you need team players. Was he really a team player. I'm not decrying his talent- he had fantastic ability. I'm merely trying to figure out why, considering his ability, he only played 8 times for his country. But for England and the top teams talent alone isn't enough and I wonder if the England managers wondered if he had the right temperament (for want of a better word).

The highlights naturally include the goals but I also saw Tiss regularly drop 40 yard passes on a sixpence. As an attacking force he had the lot. A class act and always a cut above the rest, even when he was having a more subdued game. The worst thing an opposition could do was wind him up, I remember in a game against Villa Kevin Richardson got under his skin and Tiss was on a mission. Tiss took on Villa and Tiss won.

"Has a talent for making the extraordinary seem normal". That is the quote which sums up this greatly under-rated player. Personally, I feel he should have played for England more times than he did. (8 caps). Perhaps Glenn Hoddle (et al?) The same thing could be said of Ian Wright, in my opinion. Another great talent - a rough diamond who shone dazzlingly.

He was a genius trapped in an amateurs body. Got to say though, the goalkeepers are shocking.

One of those goalkeepers was Peter Schmeicel, who is one of the two best goalkeepers to have ever lived. Being able to make premier league goalies look like amateurs takes real skill.

As time goes on you do forget how good older players were. AND Matt Le Tissier is no one of those. A Genius on the pitch. Could strike a ball so cleanly from anywhere, had a really great first touch. Left foot right foot head. Should have received a lot more England caps than he did..

Can you imagine if he had played for a top club, instead of remaining loyal to Southampton? It's amazing how under-appreciated some players are simply because of playing for a club that doesn't win anything.

It is far more impressive to almost single-handedly carry a relegation tier team many years in a row. Realistically how many players today do you think would be able to do that?

A natural talent. But unfortunately he was known for not being a team player and hated training. Ferguson wanted him at MUFC, but Matt was just way too comfortable at Southampton as far as I remember. As long as he was happy with what he had, what can you do. But he could have conquered the world 🤷♂️

Brilliant and one of my all time favourite players. Apparently Alex Ferguson wanted to sign him but he refused. A true loyal legend to his club and fans. He could hit that ball effortlessly.
