What an absolute sick edit. Keep it coming my guy

[@pbcomps2.026]

Thank you bro! Appreciate it 🙏🏾

[@faraazkhan90]

Elegance and grace. Matt le tissier is one of the rare breeds. Easily comparable to the likes of zidane, baggio, bergkamp, cantona, laudrup etc in terms of flair and natural talent.

[@colingeddes2172]

Well said faraaz. The mecurial genius that is le god. Along with george best and zidane, my fav 3 players of all time.

[@polaris7122]

@Heretic Funny hoe palmer had 18 caps for England and Le tissier only had 8, makes you think!

[@adamridley7634]

Summed him up perfectly there. People go on about his lack of ambition, I love how he stayed at Southampton his whole career. They were good to him and he respected that and in turn the fans got their moneys worth. Low key player/person who always had a cult following, world class on his day imo. I always looked forward to the Southampton games in the 90s just cos he would be playing. Same with shef wed and chrissy waddle. Both players could have a quiet game and then do something that would totally blow your mind and completely turn the game.

[@unclefatbloke]

Yes, and Hoddle of all people didn't pick him for the world cup squad, after LeTissier scored a hat-tick in the England B team that was known to have been LeTissier's last chance to show what he can do. I will never forgive Hoddle for that bollx

[@stewartwyeth1302]

A very unwelcome guy in Southampton that hoddle. He knew that letis was better than him in his prime!

[@johnhanson5943]

The greatest British player ever, in my opinion. A humble and loyal man. He could have earned far more money and caps - but he was one of the few who stayed true to a small club. He shows his wisdom and class as a human being even more now by passionately defending truth, democracy, real science, honesty and people’s free will and health against evil oligarchic totalitarian forces. He is, thereby, far far greater than England’s finest ever footballer! More than just a legend -a true hero. Dear Matt - thank you for everything - and God bless you!

[@billb7876]

Exactly right, saw him at a show and he was brilliant, It was like a night with all your "conspiracy" mates, but of course they are not conspiracies any more lol.

[@stuntmanmike6330]

He was definitely one of the best but I think he just wasn't fit enough, whether that was natural or he just couldn't be arsed I dunno? But we were lucky to see him play and Southampton fans who were there are privileged. Legend 👌

[@stevel9914]

@@stuntmanmike6330 with a reel like this ... and you reckon he wasn't fit enough. Even if true ... who needs fitness when you can dribble, volley, 1/2 volley, head and score like this. I say that if a club had 6 of these in a side ... they'd be winning permanently whether they were "fit" or not. Talent trumps fitness ..

[@elvisleeboy]

​@@stevel9914People label players like this as lazy. They did the same to Berbatov. I think it comes from a subconscious jealousy over their ability. Like you said, he didn't need to exert himself, because he was head and shoulders above the rest in terms of skill.

[@jamespalmer980]

Great player and great man. If Jack Grealish is worth 100 million then Le Tissier is a billion pound player because he’s 10 of him

[@PeteAxeShields]

The only reason Matt isn't mentioned in the same breath as the other greatest footballers of all time is that he played for Southampton and not one of the " big " clubs. I am a Newcastle United supporter but I am a lover of great football and I always applaud truly great players who had insane skills and used them to entertain ( as well as get results for their teams ) For me, Matt rates as highly as any player who has ever graced the beautiful game. On top of that, he's a top bloke as well.

[@polaris7122]

You obviously never watched him live!

[@mobahr4370]

One of the best England talents ever, if not one the worlds greatest in terms of pure natural talent. Superb player.

[@blakesymingtonstephens2144]

Unbelievable, raw talent. His finishing ability was second to none. It's an absolute tragedy he was so neglected in the England Squad.

[@HkFinn83]

Easy to say watching a highlight video. Harder to pick him when you’re watching live and see the 8 weeks between these goals where he’s waddling around the pitch, grossly out of condition, scratching his arse

[@bulltraderpt]

[@colingeddes2172]

​@@HkFinn83i tell u what, i wouldnt mind waddling around and scratching my arse if i had the talent, ability and scored the incredible goals that Le Tissier did. A maverick genius, but i supose u always get bufoons who have to look at the beautiful game in a negative way.

[@michaelmurphy1127]

@@HkFinn83 Read his stats you halfwit. A goal every 2.6 games. As a midfielder as well. You don't get in the PL 100 club scratching your ass. Especially playing for a club fighting relegation every year.

[@simonshotter8960]

Hoddle Didn’t like the fact he said no to a move to tottenham the year before

[@ZamWeazle]

Venables was just as bad. They both made many mistakes during their tenure. Not just with Le Tissier but also Gazza. They had the stupid mindset just to field a team of limited Grafters. I was so disgusted with the England national team during the 90's it was pathetic.

[@jamescurtis47]

Le Tissier was a G, I was always rooting for him. But no they gave him a game before the 98 World Cup, scores a hatrick, and they still didn't let him in the England squad.

[@adamridley7634]

People said he lacked ambition but if I was a player I'd choose to have a Compilation video like this 25 years after retiring than a full trophy cabinet from being a fringe player at a huge club

[@nomadicsoul34]

He wouldnt have been a fringe player. He could have been at least what Berbatov or Sherignham was. He was as technical as Cantona just not as aggressive.

[@adamridley7634]

@@nomadicsoul34 100% true about the ability, the only thing that wouldve let him down though was his consistency

[@vlion5265]

I am a Napoli fan and have seen Maradona play and I am saying without any doubt that Le Tissier was just as gifted. There is not one footballer in history that is or was more talented than him. Unbelievable technical ability ! Absolutely ridiculous. Took the absolute piss out of professional footballers for 16 years every week !

[@douglassantiago2730]

Yesterday: I get to know this guy watching this and other video. My jaw dropped. Then I look out his career. It's an tremendous absurd that we was caped so few times for England. How the English managers do not valued a gem like this? If he was born here in Brazil, he would be a national treasure.

[@kevbillows7113]

He’s my favourite ever player he’s a legend and we love him here in Southampton

[@polaris7122]

If you watched him live like I did you would realise why he only achieved 8 caps and no transfer to the big boys. Bags of skill but a lazy overweight git, if you were in the trenches you wouldn't want him at your side. Very good on match of the day highligts for armchair fans!

[@SBIJFoot]

Absolutely amazing dribbling and shooting technique. he is not doubt the English Maradona, but one that hardly anyone has ever heard about - The engish fan never revered him despite being way above the pack in his generation and beyond. If he had played in Spain his techinique would have been very much appreciated like Zizou's, with whom he shares some similarities. Thanks Mr. Le Tissier for all that artistry! - :)

[@Sajangrg69]

You are stating absolute facts. 💯 English fans only appreciate ones that 'work hard', get stuck in and are full of passion. This is exactly why England never win any major competitions. One recent example is how players like Grealish and Sancho hardly featured in Euro 2020. And lo and behold, England lost in the final.

[@leealtman]

@@Sajangrg69 couldn't agree with you more.... :) Having played both in Spain & England at lower levels, you can see the clear difference in the styles. Some think running and heading a lot is more effective & entertaining, but not moi :'*
