  • Expect crunching tackles, pinching and crazy eyes as Southampton legend Matthew Le Tissier reveals his Top 5 toughest opponents to Jeff Stelling on the latest Football's Greatest podcast.
    Who was the most annoying player he faced in the Premier League?
    Which defender had the longest metal studs he’d ever seen?
    And who intimidated even Vinnie Jones?
    Le Tiss also recalls the England hero who scared him early in his career, the Manchester United player who frustrated him most and the defender he says was "a Rolls Royce."
    You can still catch Matt's previous episode with Jeff on his greatest set piece takers: • Football's Greatest Se...

    Broken down into two individual episodes with each guest, Football’s Greatest will take you inside the dressing rooms of some of the best soccer teams the world has ever seen.

    I tell this story to LeTissier fans because it`s true and it gives an insight into his down-to-earth personality. Matt sent me a Southampton rosette and an autographed pic of himself within a type of team program magazine thanking me for my support after hearing my positive comments about his play from some Southampton managment brass who had come to Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada and were part of a tour group I took across a glacier. I told them I couldn't understand why he wasn't given a fair shake for the World Cup squad and to pass along that he has a big fan working in the Cdn Rocky Mtns. Couple months later an envelope showed up in my mailbox. I returned the favour by sending him a Montreal Canadiens hockey t-shirt the year they won the Stanley Cup. Cool huh?

Most of the defenders Adams, Keown, Winterburn ( 1990 Man Utd, huge brawl ), Sansom, Storey, O'Leary, McLintock, Campbell, Bould and more could mix it if required. Good show, and thanks.
