[Football] Matt Le Tissier

[Sussex Nomad]

One of the greatest players never to be given a chance by England?

 

[Eeyore]

He did play for England.

 

[Hamilton]

Yes. Probably.

Now, can we get back to the Albion?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Lacks pace at his age....not what we need

 

[Bladders]

Random

 

[Bold Seagull]

Could do a job!?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I thought he played for England a few times.
Always seems a decent bloke but bleeds Southampton so much that he will never say anything negative even if they deserve it.
(Was he on Sky, did not watch it)

Incredible, he should have played more

No.

 

[Stat Brother]

It's cos he's French innit.

He had all the talent and not enough application to fulfill his potential. Always looked overweight and wouldn't be a Premier League player if he had played in this era unless he was more far more professional.

What a player though.

He's still pretty slim.

England as a team just do my head in. We had Hoddle and Robson played him as a right wing back, we had Tiss who was just sublime and never got a chance in the England side, a bit like Cantona with France. We never learn how to play our best.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

No.

It takes me 13k posts to be as big a c'unt as you, depressing.

 

[Beach Hut]

He enjoyed being the big fish in that small pond of Southampton, turned down several offers from bigger clubs.

 

[Binney on acid]

Talent beyond belief. Technique that you could never actually learn. Completely and utterly sublime. Yes, he was pretty good.

I was at Anfield for a Liverpool v Southampton game some years back, it was 6-0 to Liverpool when Le Tisier came on as a sub and scored the best goal of the entire game, a superb shot into the top corner, and pretty much the entire ground stood and applauded.

Saw him play in blue and white at the Goldstone too, a testimonial game, can’t remember who for , even in that game he oozed ability, he was one of the greats who never made it as a great..

 

[pasty]

Aha, an opportunity to pose one of my favourite football trivia questions. Who is the only goalkeeper to have saved a Le Tiss penalty?

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

He's still pretty slim.

Similar shape to Guy Butters

He made a speech at my sons graduation in Southampton last year, legend still in red and white though.
