Phenomenal player. If he was born Brazilian or Spanish he would have had unlimited appearances for his country. No one has a top 10 remarkable goal tally like Tiss. Im 49 and fully agree with his truth aswell. Rose above as a player and a human being.

Consider Southgate's penalty taking record - it's no small wonder that yet another crop of cracking players won't win anything.

I grew up as a Newcastle fan in the early 90s, remember watching Le Tiss, what a marvellous player he was, only scored amazing goals as well and I love him even more for his views on things outside of football that most people are thinking but are afraid of saying. Love this channel so thank you as well to Jeff Stelling, the voice of football on a saturday afternoon for years and years, wish you and the old school gang was still on it now but times change and apparently we have to move on, such is Life. God Bless

Honorable man Matt Le Tissier

Didnt he win like 4 goal of month awards in 95??? banger after banger... guy was a genius... if he played abroad they would have raved about him. thanks for some great memories Le God

Le tiss is le truth. Love this guy. He just loved the game.

One of the players that made the Prem what it is today

They don’t make them like Matt anymore , complete maverick and brilliant to watch , seems a top bloke an all 👍🏻

Le tiss one of the best goal scorers in premier league history

He was the English cantona but he looked like Rodney trotter... even his penalties looked class... languid style everything just looked so easy... and yeah he played the game like it was a kick about on a Sunday morning... extremely gifted

Merse last week Le God this week , fantastic content ,Matt is a great bloke and its ridiculous that he didn't go to the world cup and get at least 50 caps

MATT LE TISSIER LE TISSIER IS ONE OF THE GREATEST FOOTBALLERS I SEEN

The beautiful game The beautiful footballer The beautiful human being He was very special.

Liverpool 4-1. My first EVER live football game. I was on my dad’s shoulder’s as the annihilation took place. Big Match filmed it. I remember looking at the camera thinking….. Upper Milton, M&W Family Enclosure. Rod Wallace was incredible this day as well. Operating from the left hand side, cutting in on his R foot. Rideout scored a good one as well. It was the Le Tissier / Wallace show

Genius on the ball. I'm a Vale fan but I always had a soft spot for Southampton because of this man!

What a truly beautiful man inside and outside, on the pitch and off the pitch. A man of loyalty and integrity ❤🙏🏼

Its rare for a premier league player to get a goal that is classed as one of the best goals in premier league, le tiss has numerous goals classed as the best

outstanding player

One of my favs as a kid.. From a spurs fan

Should always been in englands squad in his prime. What a talent. What a waste that England dont use his services.

This is great because Tiss is extremely confident about his own abilities; however, he very graciously says that Beckham was better than him at free-kicks and that he could not get the ball over the wall like Beckham. Extremely honest and I personally love the confidence. Tiss should tell it how he sees it and make it clear how great he was.

Great player. Remember the Newcastle goals as a Toon supporter hurt but good player and man. Miss him on Soccer Saturday

Tiss was class Bergkamp was the GOAT of the premier league for great goals 💯 tiss was a loyal player to Southampton he saved them from relegation a few times in the 90s fact he scored some amazing goals for them the one against Blackburn is the best in my opinion class player ❤

Trying to think of another player who played the game like le tiss and coming up blank, maybe the closest is rivaldo at a push, that shows how good le tissier was, played the game his way and no one has come close to replicating it

Ian hate was one of the best free kick takers in Premier league history

The best scorer of the great goals since that vastly underatted player and scorer of great goals Terry Mc Dermott of Liverpool.

"Glen Hoddle thought he was a level above me as a player".....because he was

Jeff's buttons are working overtime 😂

Jeffs a real one. Not caring about Media blacklisting Le Tiss and still being friends with him and not believing the media bs.

Not in the premier league, but the best freekick taker I’ve seen play is Shunsuke Nakamura of Celtic. Goal against Man Utd in the CL at Parkhead was a peach of a goal

He liked being a big fish in a small pond, at Southampton. Besides, nobody was going to get ahead of Shearer, at that time, either, were they? Andy Cole scored hatfuls of goals in the league, but never had many international opportunities, either.

He was an incredible player. A player who doesn't get the credit for freekicks/setpieces is Leighton Baines

He should of gone to a bigger club and would of been a brilliant replacement for Cantona instead of Sheringham but he played for the love of football and could do what he wanted at Southampton playing and training wise

Juninho Pernambucano Is the greatest set piece taker of all time.

I'm amazed. Le Tissiers converted 47 out of 48 penalties. England are legends at losing via penaties but we don't want his help? Baffling.

Nice to hear him talking about football and not his career in medical science

What a player. Not wrong about the current regime and the direction of travel for the uk either.

Wiseman who knows about looking after your own health 👍🏽 Also well done for not giving into sky and being like the rest!

Reason he didn't play for England much is pretty simple really. There were just better players in his position

Great talent, but England managers need players who perform under pressure week in week out.

Beckham was a spoilt brat with a big ego. Le Tiss was modest genius

I bet Thommo is here next week

That rare thing - an intelligent, erudite football player, who thinks for himself!

When your in a bang average team with no expectations you can be fancy gotta ask yourself a question why he never moved to a half decent club

A huge reason less free kicks are scored is because Wayne Hennessy isn't playing these days 😂

Le Tisser shud have been the 2nd name on the England team sheet, after Gazza. 3-2-3-2. Taylor era. Team shud have been Seamen...Walker..Adams. Pearce. Adams has height Walker has Pace n height ..Platt n Ince in front protecting. They can play to, so we'd have had extra men in midfield. Then Merson. Gazza and Waddle, behind Beardsley and Le Tisser. THAT team has invention n wud keep the ball at international level. I know Gazza was injured alot , so u cud move Merson or Le Tisser in that Position , with extra spot up front going to Les who was Quicker than Shearer or Wrighty who was a better footballer. Have the rest of Arsenal defence as back up. Barnes had lost his pace, but I'd have Shearer as sub, plus a young lively Stevie Mac to come on.

As much as I admire Hoddle as a player the whole circus around that squad with Eileen Drewery is a joke and not a fucking funny one, there's a podcast called Under the cosh and they interviewed Steve Howey and he talked about it and it's eye opening. I don't believe for one minute that his squad selection wasn't reflective of how the players responded to Drewery, a charlatan like her shouldn't have been anywhere near the England squad.

Sinisa Mihajlovic....by far

Matt is so interesting to listen to. A great orator up there with the likes of Galloway and Oliver.

Played the game the way it should be played. Staying at Southampton elevates his status even further. Exceptional footballer.

What makes Southgate "woke"??? Asking for a friend

Beckham

Penalties are simply heads or tails. Studying what side the gk dives to most is as pointless as them studying which side a player chooses. When it comes to it, the gk is like well he goes left 90% of the time, but the player knows he's thinking that so he'll go right. But the gk might also be thinking that so in the end it's all a gamble. You can study every penalty ever, makes no difference.

Yeah because Le Tissier took his pens in big games. It's the pressure that causes players to miss pens. How many times have you heard about teams practicing pens in training and scoring everyone. It's doing it when it counts and le Tissier (unfortunately) for him never had that chance

Sad how intolerant of peoples views we are these days. Its not like le tissier is running for office. I don't care if he thinks we are all shape shifting lizards, his goals were absolutely incredible.

Super talented but a lack of ambition killed his England career. He could have gone to a bigger club and been a regular for England. Too easy being a big fish in a small pond.
