Matthew Le Tissier best goals!!! | REACTION!!!

[@devilfacedjedi]

I was about 14/15 not really interested in football. Didn’t have a club side I supported but followed England. My dad had just brought sky tv and Southampton vs Newcastle was the first Monday night game since the install. Matt letissier gets that ball headed to him, takes a touch on his thigh and volleyed it from 25 yards. 10 minutes later he dinked it over one, dinked it over two, dinked it over 3 and slotted it home. I was hooked!!!

[@aaronpage3841]

One of the most naturally gifted players of all time. I think he just had a can’t be bothered attitude (which sometimes he did show on the pitch) hence why he stopped at Southampton all of his career and really did not get the recognition he deserved

[@TheRatlord74]

The main reason he never moved is because his wife didn't want to move. He grew up a spurs fan and the first offer he got was spurs. Spurs were a top tier team in those days. Contracts were agreed, and his wife said she didn't want to live in London. He got plenty of big money offers, world record offers at the time. She said no.

[@alandonley8030]

Matt Le Tissier was my favourite non Manchester United player when I was a kid. Absolutely gifted player

[@jinxcon]

Paul Gascoigne was awesome, really skillful Midfielder

[@danallen9006]

I'm a southampton fan and was lucky to see this hero score some absolute worldies

[@rorz999]

Thanks for reacting to this! 😁 To give you some context, Le Tissier was a hugely skilled player. However, rather than move to a bigger club (which he could have done, easily) he stayed loyal to Southampton FC. He enjoyed being a big fish in a small pond. He pretty much single handedly carried the team for many years, and saved them from relegation. But he was lazy - he'd sometimes skip training altogether, and his fitness levels suffered. Sadly, despite his skill, he only played for England a handful of times, although in his debut match with England he scored a hat-trick ⚽

[@barrygentry5364]

Another comment about Le God is that he was listed as a midfield player and was the first midfield player to reach 100 goals in the Premier League.

[@barrygentry5364]

Being a Southampton fan I had the pleasure of watching him play, week in, week out. An immensely talented footballer who would have won loads more international caps had he not been English.

[@bisfan]

Best player who never got an England cap, and all because he was loyal to Southampton for giving him a career. Selectors are stupid.

[@TheRatlord74]

France tried to get him to play for them, And because of his Ancestry he was eligible. But he wanted to play for England.

[@terryoconnor8165]

If Le Tessier had played for one of the traditional ‘big clubs’ Man U, Liverpool etc, instead of loyally staying with Southampton, he probably would be mentioned in the same breath as the all time greats

[@rorz999]

Fully agree. Partly because of his skill, and partly because the level of training and coaching was obviously of a different calibre at those clubs. Ah well, he had a great career, and did everything on his terms. Sometimes it's better to be a local legend

[@MrKnowledge0014]

He will always be one of the great Premier League players for me, Huge talent and scored some of the best Prem goals of all time.

[@alandonley8030]

Definitely check out Gazza

[@Stevenc1984]

He kept Southampton in the Premier League for a good few seasons in the mid-late 90s. Huge talent and could of easily of played for a much better club.

[@philipmccarthy6175]

I think you mean more successful club. Southampton are a good , well run club.

[@Stevenc1984]

@@philipmccarthy6175 Depends how you define successful. He's not replacing Bergkamp at Arsenal, I'm not sure he'd fit in at Manchester United. He would probably have been a key player at a few clubs in the top half.

[@philipmccarthy6175]

@@Stevenc1984 Totally different player to Bergkamp so not sure what your point is , Bergkamp was surrounded by better players too. I doubt if Bergkamp could have done what Le Tissier did at Southampton with regard to keeping Saints in the top flight either.

@@philipmccarthy6175 They're both creative players playing in a similar area of the field.

He's number 1 for me

[@matthill3293]

Southampton fan: This man could have gone elsewhere and he could have actually gone done it with our blessing. The fact that he stayed with us for his entire career is ridiculous and the fact that he only got 8 or 9 England caps is nothing short of a travesty. We were so blessed at Saints to have this guy.

[@hrq77777]

Great reaction mate, if you want to see a great comeback an amazing one happened yesterday, Sheffield Wednesday vs Peterborough in the League One Semi Final Play Offs. I think you would enjoy it :-) all the best 👍

[@murder13love]

Where does he rank..? The man never really played much for England! There were other "stars" that stole his place. A naturally gifted player with a phenomenal touch and finish. Just an icon of the Premier league 🙌

[@yosephbaomer7023]

To be fair there was no shortage of English attacking talent throughout the 90's. However I agree he should have had many more international appearances than he had, perhaps an element of snobbery from those England coaches at the time because he played for Southampton and not for a top Premier League side.

[@rorz999]

​@@yosephbaomer7023 legend has it that Glenn Hoddle didn't pick Le Tissier for the England squad out of spite, they'd had a falling out after comparisons were made between the two in the press and Hoddle's ego was bruised

[@barrygentry5364]

The 3 flick goal and the goal when he took the ball on his thigh and volleyed it into the top corner were in the same match, after he had previously been dropped by a very bad manager who wanted work rate rather than skill.

[@johnfullbrook628]

Matt Le Tissier I believe is the 1st midfielder to hit 100 league goals he played 540 games and scored 209 goals in all competitions for Southampton from 1986-2002 and turned down the chance to sign for the likes of Manchester United Liverpool Tottenham and Chelsea because he was happy and loyal to Southampton

[@TheRatlord74]

It was because his wife didn't want to move. He says so in interviews.

Southampton really could have done with someone like him this season, they got relegated after 11 years in the premier League. Next week is playoff finals weekend and there was a wild game in the semi finals 2 days ago between sheffield wednesday and peterborough that finisihed 5-5 with one sheff wed coming back from 4 down and won it in a shootout
