So happy I got to enjoy the Le-Tiss generation at The Dell throughout the 90's....Sadly though, I expect we will never see this type of player again on the professional football field.
no disrespect to southampton but if he had been at a team like united he would have been recognised as one of the best finishers the world has ever seen,but on the other hand he would have been hated as a manc cunt.great finisher,great guy and loyal to his club.a true legend
As far as I know he even scored on 48 of 49 penalties. And, as a german, I have to thank which ever national team's headcoach who did not let him play 1990 and 1996. This guy is probably the greatest player england ever had.
totaly agree, trouble is both England managers at the time didn,t like him Hoddle because he didn,t sign for him for chelsea and terry vegtables because he didn,t sign for him at spurs, A great great lose for England
Anyone remember Le tiss playing for england b against russia in 98 and scoring one of the best hat-ricks you will ever see? Hoddle was even smiling on the touchline and still never picked, what a c***!!!!
scored three that day, hit the bar hit the post, made the other two goals and after the game when asked what Hoddle thought about le tiss,s performance all he could say was he thought darren (skate) anderton had a good game (umbelievable)
Quite simply the best player i have ever watched! Was lucky enough to be at some of those memorable nights at the dell, no one could score the quality of goals he banged in. A true genius, we all know why he never played for england, he was too maverick for them, like Cantona was for france, these two are the best players to grace the premier league!
Why Le Tiss did not get a fare chance for England is that he knocked back Hoddle when he tried to buy him for Chelsea and knocked back Vegtables when he tried to buy him for Tottenham, the two managers who ended up in charge of England. their pig headedness cost all true England fans a magical deckade.plus to play for England under Vennables you had to be a member of his nightclub in London ( Skribes)
played for hoddle in England B match against Russia scored 3 hit the post hit the bar made the other 2 goals, when asked about le tiss at end of game all hoddle could say was i think anderton had a good game ( Umbelievable )
Two diffrent players in two different era's, the likes of the heskey's allow the likes of the Le Tissiers to weave there magic by taking care of the dirty work. Heskey has deserved all of his 50 caps there no coincidence when he plays he England fair well, as for Le Tiss he deserved so much better than the scraps England managers fed him over the years he should of at worst been used as a super sub.
0:55. That goal makes me smile even more in slow motion. Apart from maybe some one I'm too young to remember. He's just below Gasgoigne on the greatest English players list.
would have been all time legend if he joined spurs!!!Still my favourite player of all time..he played with relatively little pressure at saints..so he'll never be considered a true great,added to fact he didn't do much for england,granted he wasn't given the opportunity), BUT still the guy was class. A rare breed. An entertainer.diference between someone like le tiss+maradona.diego did it at the highest level in an average team, just like matty.but fair play to him for being loyalto the saints.
he played without pressure??? theres only pressure right up the top or right down the bottom.he should of joined spurs if he didnt want pressure coz they always mid table.
Maradona,Baggio,Platini,Soqrates,Beckham and many famous players missed penalty kicks>>> but Le Tissier? didnt miss one single penalty kick in his life!!! what do you think guys?

Oh dear, calling me a freak? That's rather rude isn't it. Look, i'll probably score a goal like one of these on Sunday morning again so i'll get someone to video it and upload for you all to see.
By the way, I did once score a goal with my ass. A 35 yarder with my ass into the top corner. A beauty it was. You never saw Le Tissier do that did you.
Le Tissier was certainly a special player. Watch his goal against Liverpool (30 seconds in). Half the Liverpool fans behind the goal applaud. You don't see that very often. It's criminal the way he was treated by England bosses; he would've given the side such a boost of flair and invention. There were plenty of others who could've done all the donkey work. Oh well, and we wonder why we don't win anything....
Diego Maradona isn't fit to lace Matty's boots, only Pele was better... Glad he stayed at Southampton his whole career but the rest of the world doesn't know what it missed.. cheers for the memories Matt.
England could also do with some1 who could take a penalty, i think Le Tiss only had 1 saved/missed during his career (wouldn't hold me to that stat though). Great player!
Legend! Not just to saints fans but to anyone who loves football.
Only 8 caps for England because of England managers obsession with "work rate". Almost scored an amazing goal against Romania (I think?) which may have endeared him more. Having said that Hoddle didn't take him to the world cup even after his hat-trick against Russia. Scandalous!!
The fans will always remember what an amazing player he was.
le tissier was one of a few players who just captured my imagination as a kid - despite not being someone on official all-time lists or top 10's or whatever, i always remember him with awe. one of my all time favourites without a doubt.
Legend. The four-touch goal against Newcastle surely is a contender for best goal of all time. I remember watching it live on Sky and they re-played it all the way through in slow motion with a closer up camera, in the snow, it was almost a work of art.
Never heard of this guy until for some reason I stumbled onto that Newcastle goal. Has a wonderful feel for the goal. And, has the ability to create a goal from nothing. How did he not end up playing in intl contests.
le tissier's accuracy and skill were retarded!!!! by far the most amazing control i've ever seen

I would have loved to have see him at a top club surrounded by top players,he always scored
beautiful goals but from memory he had a reputation of being a lazy player when the
the ball was not around him,still it would have been nice if he was given the role Sheringham got to supply and create for Shearer.
