Thanks for this. All the other compilation videos are Premier league era only. Great to see the 89-90 season goals in there of which there are some of his best.
Matt Le Tissier had the skills to hit the ball first time, controlled first touch then finish, walk the ball past defenders , shoot from distance with power, strength to hold players off. Modern players have some but not all of these skills, although defenders in those days were beasts modern day players are more organised and fitter to do their job, he would still be an asset to any team that allowed him to play his game.
As others have said, Paul Gasgcoine was a once in a lifetime, genius level, elite level footballer. He had everything. _Everything._ Arguably Englands' greatest ever midfielder, and one of the greatest midfielders, and players, of all time. He definitely belongs in the discussions for those kind of legacy icons. One thing that always strikes me about Paul Gasgcoines' play is how few unnecessary touches he takes. He rarely did skill moves just for the sake of it. Every touch of the ball was a vital and functional step in a larger move which he already had mapped out in his lightning quick footballing brain. It's impossible to articulate just how special and unique Paul Gasgcoine was. He was one of those very rare footballing artists, who didn't seem to do things for beauties' sake but everything he did was poetically beautiful by nature. Ronaldinho is another of those very rare artists. Those two, Paul Gasgcoine and Ronaldinho, played the most breath taking beautiful football I have ever seen. Not many fellas can play that kind of football which leaves you speechless.
I’ve been privileged to see some incredible goals live in my life, Rooney’s over head kick, Bale’s overhead kick, Van persie’s Volley against Villa. But seeing Gazzas Euro 96 goal against Scotland has always stayed with me as one of the most memorable goals I’ve ever seen. The flick over Hendrys head, the goal, the celebration. What a player he was.
No es que tenga algo de malo al contrario.es historia y la historia hay que respetarla ..y más que nada ....a lo grandes jugadores que hicieron este deporte lo que es hoy en día ..( en el aspecto trascendencia, no tanto en nivel futbolístico..mi opinión)....pero como se ve que ,hoy en en día la calidad de fútbol ha disminuido y más correr y dinámica...que tenemos que regresarnos a ver ,el prime..de los cracks de los 70,'80,'y 90',....para ver buen futbol.ya que hoy en día el nivel esta muy escaso...salvo excepciones como Messi,cristiano,Neymar , James....ya son de los últimos que quedan.
He had/has it all - speed, power, accuracy, technique, precision and confidence. One of the best penalty takers in history as well. It is crazy that he literally won it all like Champions League, many Serie A titles, Coppa Italia, Super Cup, Premier League, FA Cup and we can go on and on yet many think he still had the potential to win even more. His skills are as great as anyone's. Insane talent! His final goal in this video is like it's from FIFA Street haha, absolutely incredible.
It's a shame he was in the England squad . He was lazy - bit he clearly a fantastic finisher . I remember watching the highlights of the Premier league through the years . And he was on nearly every week with a goal .But not just any goal a screamer or a goal other players would shit themselves to score . As for video - every goal the commentary said "he's equalised". Being Southampton they ended up losing every game
So many claim he lacked speed, but he didn't. If you watch anyone who is truly good at something, they appear to have all the time in the world and to be doing things in slow motion. It's a case of the speed of hand (or foot|) deceiving the eye.
Yes, we use to have truely skilful players, and yet for all that they never lifted that trophy. Great Individual highlights that never amounted to a worthy team performance.
