[Football] And now for something completely different

[Doc Lynam]

New Matt Le Tissier highlights, what a crime he only got 8 caps.

I wonder if a talent like this came along now, it would be more appreciated

As Frank Skinner used to say:-

'If I were The Matt LeTissier of Comedy I'd stand here in silence for 89 minutes, then tell the best joke you've ever heard before walking off stage'.

Stat err lite’s gone up to the skies
Things like that drive me out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV

Bom bom bom
Statellite of love

Statellite of love
Stat err lite of love

Statellite's gone way up to Mars...

I don't think it was a crime. Ince, Gascoigne, Barmby, Platt, McManaman all had far better work rates.

Sinton and Palmer also had many fine qualities

It was one thing for him to get overlooked when the likes of Barnes, Waddle, Beardsley, Sheringham were in their prime but there was a time when Graham Taylor picked binners like Lee Sharpe, Paul Merson and Andy Sinton ahead of him.

Sublimely gifted, but lazy footballer. Bit of a CTist though...

He wasn't lazy, just managed to make it all look effortless much like most of the truly gifted players.

Agree with your second sentence.

still a complete bell end

Seen many a time "back in the day" hanging around the food counter at Jumpin' Jaks in Southampton getting loads of love and attention from his disciples.

I know someone who paid for Matt to attend his wedding as a speaker. Apparently the groom got a lot of stick as most of his wedding photos on facebook were him with Matt, not his newly-wed wife.

I saw a couple of those appearances for England and unfortunately he didn't show any of those moments of brilliance. Although he did memorably step out of a challenge completely against Italy as they broke and almost scored against us in a world cup qualifier 25 years ago (not that I hold a grudge ).

But well worth playing with 10 men all night in the remote hope that he might do something 'special'

Ah, those were the days.

 

[Yes Chef]

Fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down

 

[Swansman]

His best position didnt exist in the English national team until much later.

Sign him up, sign him up, sign him up

I knew it wasn't a dream!

Played cricket with his brothers. Bloody nice blokes, all of ‘em.

This is funny

Fun fact - probably known to some and not to others.

Le Tissier has the best penalty record in English football history. 53 out of 54 penalties scored.

Which keeper saved the one he missed ?

 

[Icy Gull]

Gormless Gink.

Stan Bowles or Tony Currie get my vote
Le Tiss is a ****

Not a fan but he was a quality footballer who showed the sort of loyalty I’d love to see from an Albion player
