Mate all the best players of the past all looked normal. Because back then everybody was slim. He wasn’t fat af like all Sunday league players are today.
Matt Le Tissier has the best Penalty record in football history 47 out of 48 He's also the first midfielder to score 100 goals in the Premier League And almost no one talks about him.......
I am from Croatia and we had a TV show called Petica (Five) that every Monday showed match highlights from top 5 European leagues, I always especially loved the Premier league segment and watched in awe the amazing goals scored, many of them by this guy playing for Southampton and with a French sounding surname. Le Tissier became for me synonymous with crazy goals outside of the box!
Xavi had a similar story. In Catalonia there was a programme every week showing the best goals from the Premier League, Le Tissier used to feature on it every week and Xavi's whole family was obssessed with him and the goals he'd score.
Despite his lack of strength, speed, and agility, and incredibly unassuming look - Matt Le Tissier was one of the most technically skilled players that English football has ever seen. So underrated in fact, that as a midfielder, he would genuinely outscore some of the best strikers you could think of in the 90s to early 2000s and even set records that had never been done before.
The bane of every toon fan in the 90's. What a player le tissier was, soring goal of the season contenders every other week. Walking past players like they werent even there. Just incredible.
Youngsters do not understand just how ridiculously talented Matt Le Tissier was as a player. He literally forced the game to be played at his own pace, regardless of what was going on around him. It was almost magic. Some of the goals he scored at his peak are genuinely astonishing. Especially in the era of football we're talking about, he's a true example of what people mean when they talk about a 'one-man team'. ❤
Le Tisser was world class. I'll never hear any different. All the negative press he got was just made by dinosaur English football journalists who had no idea what they were talking about. There are maybe a room full of people in the history of the game who could do what Le Tisser could do with a football. His technique was completely maxed out. As for the criticisms about his laziness. He wasn't supposed to track back, that was just lazy football journalism. No one ever said Cantona doesn't track back enough or Bergkamp or Zola or any of the number 10's playing for the big European clubs like Baggio or Mancini. They were luxury number 10 players who you always gave the ball to and they made stuff happen. Between 1900 and 1995 Le Tisser scored 85 league goals in 5 seasons. That's 17 a season as an attacking midfielder. He was an incredibly consistent scorer and single handedly saving his club from relegation and people were calling him lazy... For me he has a case for being arguably the greatest goalscorer who ever lived. Maybe no player in history has a top 30 goals list that matches his. How England didn't exploit this is beyond me. Personally I'd have built the team around him in the early 90's but at the very least he should have been on the bench every game. If you needed a goal in the last ten minutes, get him on and tell EVERYONE to give him the ball because he's one of those rare players that can get you a goal from less than nothing.
Matt Le Tissier just like playing football. He was just happy to be playing football. What made him different was how quick he was to shoot. Keepers never got set. Just like playing football and it showed.
Matt Le Tissier sir is an absolute legend during my childhood years and during his time with Southampton,he was a potent goalscorer and his statue must be built and placed outside the St Mary Stadium for sure,good friends!!!LONG LIVE,MATT LE TISSIER SIR!!!🎉
The greatest footballer ever. Watching him play every week was a privilege and he is still treated as a god in Southampton. Fantastic job with this one.
This is absolutely nuts. I remember watching PL games as a kid in the 90s and his name would come up as s goalscorer time and time again but when I saw footage of him my mind could not grasp that he was the guy scoring those goals. He was a pure genius, what an absolutely amazing player. I watched your video in pure disbelief. How can anyone strike a moving ball that effortlessly and with such precision is beyond me. The streets will never forget his name 💪🏼
maybe Hoddle is like that Argentinian Coach who didn't want to include Juan Roman Riquelme in his scheme 'cos even though Riquelme is a Natural-born playmaker, and a class one on that, but he wasnt known for his work-rate and you have to build your team around Riquelme
I'd argue that it had more to do with Venables. It was pretty clear that, after his knee injury. Gazza wasn't the player he once was, and that if Le Tissier could prove that he could do it for England, he'd take Gascoigne's place in the international team. When Gazza broke his leg in 1994 and was out for a year, Venables trotted out every excuse in the book not to pick Le Tissier in his place, and left him out of the Euro 96 squad. By the time Hoddle took over, there were a whole raft of younger players coming through, and Le Tissier was pushing 30, which was pretty much the end for international players back then.
The managers who never played him in big tournaments for England might have missed out on winning those tournaments if they didn’t let their ego of him rejecting the club move offers go.
I was actually lucky to meet him twice last year and saw him play for the Man united legends, he's still got the magic 😊, he's also one of the nicest guys you'll ever met 😊
Love these vids, its really a highlight of your week to find out that he posted. Can we get a Kenny Dalglish vid? I'd love to watch a Kenny Dalglish vid in your style
@GioJincharadze-r7t oh I have watched it before and he even included the famous and overused 'was born offside' line in that video. Maybe he deleted it.
Whoa I only heard of his name.. I think in some of the highlights of goals the official page of PL posts on social media!! But who would imagine he was this insane?? Thanks to you I got to know about footballers who were fantastic to say the least but barely anyone knew!
A great comparison. Palmer has the chance to surpass him by doing it for a bigger club and for england. Let's see if he can keep it up for 10 years though
Thanks for this one. I think all saints fans need this right now including a player who does it for the shirt. Literally unplayable and a real pleasure to watch.
Was a fantastic player. I think the fact he never made the step up to elite level and his career after football have brought him down a bit, but an incredible talent
As a Guernsey man myself Matt is a legend and a very humble guy, always used to be a good chat over a beer. Should’ve gone to a bigger club he was that good but he is a God at Saints
I feel fortunate to have witnessed Le Tissier, a fantastic player and a true legend for staying with Southampton when he could have won lots of titles by accepting a transfer to one of the big clibs
Le Tissier is an absolute LEGEND of the game! But as a Fulham supporter I reckon, Birmingham City 3-4 FULHAM -18th August 1979 was also a 3 goal down come back. ⚪️⚫️⚔️
Salah best season(club) vs Antony's career (Club + Country) . Salah Antony Matches - 52 244 Goals - 44 44 Assists - 14 35 GA - 58 79 Antony has 21 more Assists in 192 more games Antony clears
As an Englishman it pains me that he hardly got a look in with our squad. Yeah he was a “luxury” player, but trophies are also “luxuries”. I thought you weren’t going to mention that he scored the last goal at The Dell, until you squeezed in right at the end there 😅 great vid
As an Arsenal fan, I always wished we had him - imagine him together with Bergkamp. Le Tissier is one of the most naturally talented players ever. His first touch was often unbelievable - he had that in common with Bergkamp.
Le Tissier is probably one of the most unique and special "one man club" in football history. If you watch closely, every single movement, touch or action he performed was like a Swiss watch: perfect.
Matt le Tiss was my fav player at Southampton it was a privaledge to watch him play in the late 80s and early 90s scored many of the best goals in the premier league in 90s
Man, love all your videos! But I really wanna know how you get so much information about the childhood of the players. I'm not doubting, I just like to study and get deeper in the topics, posting some sources in the description would be great!
Saying that a person named Le Tessier has no relation to France whatsoever is like saying that someone with the name Tecelão has no relation to Portugal whatsoever... His family is clearly of French origin. Guernsey itself is closer to France than to England...
This one could play. Mad volley skills. If you are a Saints fan he must be your Saint. He could have played for anyone, just didnt want it. Fair fecks to Matt.
Sooo listen to this, my mums side of the family are from guernsey, after watching your video I sent to my uncle Paul, he replied the greatest, everyone in guernsey know each other it's that small, I asked him if he could get me one of his shirts and he replied I'll text him now and see what I can do 😂
Matt Le Tissier was a world class footballer trapped in the body of a Sunday league player
Perfect.
Couldn't have said it better
Mate all the best players of the past all looked normal. Because back then everybody was slim. He wasn’t fat af like all Sunday league players are today.

I love the work the you do you perfectly explain stories of seemingly nobody's who were one of the worlds best
The greatest player to never play for England at a tournament and you can thank Glen Hoddle for that
maybe Hoddle is like that Argentinian Coach who didn't want to include Juan Roman Riquelme in his scheme 'cos even though Riquelme is a Natural-born playmaker, and a class one on that, but he wasnt known for his work-rate and you have to build your team around Riquelme
@@doualadaliso9676 He would have fitted in to that England team like a glove.
Hoddle's answer as to why he never took Le tiss to France 98 is. "I had Paul Scoles"
Hahahahaha no offence to Scoles.
I'd argue that it had more to do with Venables.
It was pretty clear that, after his knee injury. Gazza wasn't the player he once was, and that if Le Tissier could prove that he could do it for England, he'd take Gascoigne's place in the international team. When Gazza broke his leg in 1994 and was out for a year, Venables trotted out every excuse in the book not to pick Le Tissier in his place, and left him out of the Euro 96 squad.
By the time Hoddle took over, there were a whole raft of younger players coming through, and Le Tissier was pushing 30, which was pretty much the end for international players back then.
As a long suffering Saints fan all I can say is that we will be for ever thankful to that man. We called him Le God because he was Le God.
The managers who never played him in big tournaments for England might have missed out on winning those tournaments if they didn’t let their ego of him rejecting the club move offers go.
