Technique wise he was miles infront of Scholes, Shearer, Ginola, Henry, and other players he had a peripheral vision and way about him that only Giggs comes close to until this day.
The crazy thing is that this video still hasn't got some of the most well known goals scored against Newcastle, Man utd, Arsenal and Villa and it is still 5 minutes of shear class show me any goal and I'll show you a better goal scored by Matt le tiss, what a phenomenal player!

@daryls43 playing for the best club in the country near his home island? no i dont think so. he wasnt a greedy cunt like most footballers these days. loved southampton and the fans. LEGEND
@racewalkingrules well southampton have never been the best club in the country and never will, and wanting to play for a big club is not greedy its called having ambition....
@daryls43 i take it you werent alive during the early 80s? we were among the top clubs in the country and only got beaten to the league title by paisleys liverpool who were winning european cups.
@racewalkingrules coming second doesnt make you a top club.......and le tiss wasnt playing then, he was playing when you were fighting relegation every season..
2:31 what a goal! left-footed. He didn't have a stronger foot!
2:34 gonna have to big up my team's fans i'm afraid. Watch the kop's reaction to his great goal. Great fans. Not gonna be silly and say "best fans in the world," but we have great fans.
In my opinion had Matt Le tissier moved to a bigger club he could have been one of the very best players of all time, A great player can score great goals but it takes an absolute genious to score the sort of goals he scored on a regular basis. You'll be lucky to see a player that does those sort of things with a football in your lifetime. I would love to have seen him play these days, in the biggest competitions and see how he compares to messi and ronaldo.
agreed mate. He was an absolutely outstanding player. I hate in sports how players are judged on what they won. That's bullshit! wes brown better than le tissier!? NO. Le-Tissier was a similar player in style and ability to zidane IMO. Although has to be said zidane didn't score as many amazing goals, but he was more of a midfielder. Do not forget le-tissier's passing and creative side tho, he definitely had that too.
@1012fraser Th eonly time he looked set to leave Southampton was in 1990, when was close to signing for Spurs, before changing his mind at the last minute. If he'd linked up with Gazza, Lineker and Venables then, who knows how it might have worked out?
@1012fraser On a positive note, Xavi of Barca was once asked to name his favourite ever player. I'd liked to have seen the journalist's face when he gave the answer Matt le Tissier!
Most of the defences pictured weren't the best. And that's coming from a Villa fan. No great goals against ManU, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea or Spurs to see?
@54129 Hello, there were 2 against Liverpool in this collection, both corkers. He scored great goals against the other clubs you mention, they're just not on this video, I particularly recommend watching the lob against Schmeichel if you like football. Also, Newcastle and Blackburn were 2 of the best teams in English football and there are plenty against them. Le Tiss is the real deal and could do it against anyone if he was in the mood... and he went out with Marilyn from Home and Away. Legend!
What a football genius. One of the best English strikers of all time. I still think he would have sent us to the 94 world cup if he wasn't consistently overlooked for the England squad - in fact, I can state that as a fact!
@blakula English football is largely suspicious of players who aren't 'grafters'. At least over the last 30 or so years. If Bobby Moore was playing today, the media - and most fans - would call him a 'lazy arrogant overpaid greedy twat'.
@blakula Good question. I think he was ahed of his time - in England that is. England didn't really use a number 10 in the South American sense. It was still pretty much kick and run in England back then. If he were Brazilian, he would have played for them, I am sure of it.
