I've read Fergie said Le Tissier is one of the greatest players in the PL & didn't know how to plan against. If ture, that says a lot. And I'm a Man United fan. Le Tissier one of the greatest in the PL.
Don't think he was underrated, especially by people that know what they're on about. One man club. Could have had afew moves I reckon, if the media was like it is now back then there would have been transfer rumours constantly or people openly after him. Wasn't the same back then. Could have played more for England but he was too entertainin and showed too much flair....we crave that nowadays
@@007Fusiion just copied this from a fans forum ....Hi Carl - I think the first time I saw MLT in real life was at Anfield when we lost 4-2. I remember MLT scored a goal so majestic there were Liverpool fans in the Kop applauding him. What does he remember of this goal? He twisted Mark Wright inside out with his movement. 👍
I noticed also, but let’s be honest, to witness that there’s only one thing to do, and it’s exactly what those Liverpool fans did! They appreciated talent! What a player he was.
man these goals, reminds me of paddy mccourt(not comparing their overall ability), similar character laid back, could produce a work of art out of nowhere, beat 5 guys and score a goal
My favourite player of all time I'm not even a saints fan I also think he's the best midfielder the premier league's ever seen scholes Gerrard lampard no where near as good
I've watched the greatest goals by a number of players but no one comes close to Matt Le Tissier and he played for Southampton. What a player.the greatest!!!!
Because Hoddle (who was manager at the time) didn't wan't anyone to have more natural talent than him. Remember he scored a hatrick in the international friendly game a day or two before Hoddle selected the English squad. A hatrick FFS and Hoddle still would take him......
@@martinjay1419 also the era when England didn't qualify for USA 94. Can't think how Le Tiss doesn't get into that shite team...oh yeah...Graham Taylor 😂
@@boxthorncutter2804 indeed, I’m not speaking ill of the dead but Taylor was absolute garbage as England manager. Took a team that should have won italia 90 to the edge of oblivion.
@@justsomeguywithoutamustach9072 I mean it's mostly cause I love watching the premier league too, and it's probably the best football content out there without a doubt.
@@barcafans4058 yeah it’s brilliant,just a bunch of blokes getting tipsy and speaking what they actually believe (most of the time) These big football studios and pundits don’t understand how refreshing it is for us to just watch some friends have a fun time,and combined with good PL games it’s an experience and a half... You think were gonna win the league by the way?😅
@@jakedovey3008 is ok. Gazza Gascoigne is by far the british talent that we love the most. Sure would've been amazing if Shearer, Le Tissier, Scholes and Giggs played in Italy, but in life you can't have everything (unfortunately). This is the group of the most loved players from PL, at least we had Gazza ❤
Yes, I think he would've graced Serie A. Such a shame that England's most creative players are consistently overlooked or played out of position in the national team in favour of one dimensional box to box type players. Glenn Hoddle, Paul Scholes, Le Tissier, Joe Cole, Jack Wilshere (before injuries), Michael Carrick unfortunately were all wasted by England. Same thing is happening to Jack Grealish now.
Le Tissier would of been great in Serie A as the play a slower game Could of imagined him at Napoli as they were similar to Southampton at that time struggling but he would been the one man show don’t think he liked playing for the big names he always thrived being an underdog
He was so good, probably the most talented English player of his generation. Such a shame he was capped only 8 times by the national team. Only because he played in a relatively small club like Southampton. Just for not calling him up, England deserved to lose the Euro 1996. If he wanted, this guy could have played in any club in the world, from Man U to Real Madrid, and be the best player in any of those clubs, even win a Ballon D'Or. He remained loyal to his club till the end and that's one of the reasons real football fans we admire and see him as a real legend. All my respect and admiration to Le God! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🔝🔝
@@truetothegame2928 fuck off rubbish. He's got a better highlight reel of goals then Gerrard ffs and that's saying something. Shearer rates him loads, the Best striker PL ever had that's good enough for me. Le Tissier was the bloody business son. Get back in your seat and be quiet. He never wanted to leave Southampton and he didn't. If he went to a Big Club he'd be regarded as 1 of the very best Ever! Don't know what your talking about and obviously don't know about football if you think that's rubbish.
The most naturally gifted player England has ever had, the fact he only got 8 England caps is a disgrace if he was any other nationality he would of had 70 or 80
It's more that England selectors have always been biased towards players from top teams. Guarantee that if he played for United he'd have had at least 30 caps
Yet if you asked anyone name the 10 best players to play in the Premier league only the Southampton fans would pick him. These 10 goals could be a compilation of any "legend" Maradona, Cruyff,Pele etc they are that good. Only a genius can score goals like that.
That’s awesome. I could only watch short highlights Here in Australia as a child in the 90’s watching. Before the internet. What was his general play like. Was his touch like in the midfield silky smooth or he liked playing ball first time
Always been the problem with the English National team, We pick good players from the top teams, NOT the best Players regardless of where they play, They are playing against the same opposition after all (infact harder because they are not in the best teams). Le Tissier was better than Beckham by a country mile but wasnt fashionable
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 Yeah, 4-4-2 England was too rigid for a player like him. I would rather say had he accepted to play for France, it would've been a different story.
I’m no Southampton fan but watching this video reminds me what a massive talent Matt was, I don’t think you could but together a better top 10 goals from any other player since he retired.
Some of these aren't even really his top 10 goals worthy watch other compilations aswell this guy is a gift that just keeps giving even after retirement
Can somebody explain to me why as a football fan, a premier League fan, a Liverpool fan and a ballers fan I just hear from (LeGod) this guy at 36 yo? I'm not from England but this is not just me! this guy is not recognize worldwide while he's probably one of the best English player I've ever seen. Wtf with the coaches in the national team who didn't give him enough chances ??? I'm Cameroonian and we love football and this is not fair for this guy and for us the fan who would have loved to see him play more.
It's because he played for perennial strugglers Southampton his entire career rather than moving to a marquee club in the Premier League or in mainland Europe.
Amazing goals and player. 4 of the 10 were screamers with his weaker left foot. England in the 90’s struggle down the left side, shame Matty was overlooked so many times. He will always be a legend to me. COYR
In 1996 Southampton vs Lincoln City at Sincil Bank, I'm sat in the home end as a Lincoln fan and pre match Le Tissier is knocking in free kick after free kick, even though we lost to some dodgy penalty decision Klaus Lundkvam diving I remember, it was an honour to see LE T play.
@@yerma6836 world class sportsman... & an intelligent critical thinker who questions the narrative... & you are again? because i've never heard of you? some mask wearing pointless simpleton hands face space artist?
Brilliant player who didn't run after the money but stayed loyal to his club.Dont see much of that these days.Also an intelligent man of principal who doesn't run with the herd ,but stands up for his beliefs and the truth Don't see much of that today either in the so called mainstream media ,football media ,sports etc etc.Well done Matt .Incredible you got such few caps for England ,which was their loss.They could do with you today from what I have seen recently.Thanks for the memories!!
@@shesbaldbutiwould At that time, it was a very good defence. Probably not completely world-class, but still excellent. And Schmeichel was probably one of the best keepers in Europe back then.
@@comicfellow Very good by what standard? used to get ripped in Europe from what i remember unless it qualifies as very good because it could keep Chris Sutton and the like quiet (sometimes)
Despite being a gooner I have nothing but respect for him. Thank you Southampton Football Club for uploading this! I am so grateful as an Arsenal supporter ❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️
Him and Peter Beardsley were my 2 favourite unique players from that time but Le Tissier made it look so easy. A true natural footballer. All the best season Saints from a Toon fan.
Legend - As a footballer and a great Human Being - His Brain allows him to score the greatest goals ever captured on film, and also he has common sense. A rarity these days! As a Man Utd Fan, I wish you well Matthew - Thank you for the goals, for standing up, not being afraid to be vocal over these last few years. You are the opposite of certain cowards, your inspirational. Take Care and Peace to you and Family!
As a (used to be Liverpool fan, when I was interested in football) I agree with you whole heartedly. Matt Le Tissier is as good a person as he was a footballer. He has just given a great speech in London outside of the BBC adding his voice to the many who are aware of what has been going on, and what has been done to the people by this so called government.
As a 25 year old from London I wasnt aware of this mans talent but watching recent interviews on him and his views on how corrupt these time we live in are. Gave me a massive respect for this man! Brave man speaking his mind while others profit from it.
never heard of him - nor really a football fan - but heard him on Patriot Streetfighter so had to check him out - beyond brilliant brought tears to my eyes as his skill - well done - BTW I am a 64 yr old woman - so true skill knows no boundries
One of the classiest, most gifted English players in history. They are so few in number compared to other nations. Now that he's been branded an anti vaxer, I like him even more now! Hope he keeps at it!🙏👍
Great set of goals. My absolute footballing hero growing up, I just wish it was acknowledged that he played in cup competitions too. Some of his best goals are forgotten, cos they weren’t scored in the prem.
The second to last against Newcastle was his best, I can only see someone like Bergkamp having the ability to score that goal, great player and a good guy who stands up for what he believes, Southampton you should stand by your man against Wokeism
You’d never say Le Tiss was world class but name another player who could score those goal, maybe Berbatov and Bergkamp. Messi and Ronaldo couldn’t score those
I detested football growing up, but when as a kid I'd see football focus on in the afternoon, I was always amazed at his goals. Even more respect now that we know the globalists don't like it when he speaks the truth. Top bloke.
Scariest part of Le Tiss was you could NEVER tell your defenders to push him on to his weaker foot, he didnt have one! look at the goals in the video and there are goal of the month if not goal of the season contenders scored with each foot. Watching Match of the Day was always a must if he was playing in an "extended highlights match". Le Legend, Le God, LE TISS!
A lot of player Top 10 videos can be quite ordinary or disappointing, but Le Tisser's is just blockbuster goals from 10 to 1. I say this as a Liverpool fan of 40 years.
Very underrated player who could get great goals with left or right foot. All his goals had a touch of class about them. A truly great player, and a really nice bloke who speaks so much sense.
Sublime goals from a sublime player , what a talent ' Le Tiss ' was and I also like the way the Liverpool fans in the Kop , showed their appreciation of his talent when he scored there , a lot of them applauded him , hats off.
Just 10?...This man didn't score 'ordinary' goals ask Barca's Xavi. But the English disease continues even today, not picking players for England with flair & inventiveness, we still await for the likes of Grealish....
No over the top celebrating either. No sliding on knees or pointing to the heavens or throwing love hearts shapes. Just a class geezer scoring banging goals!
Pole here My favorite EPL player of all time. Loyal to 1 club. Admitted on some on-the-side betting action for extra monies (keep ball after throw-in), but never betrayed the team, always played to win. Legend.
He made everything he did effortless and to even make top class defenders, like Steve Nicol look like Sunday league players. Criminally under-used by England
Absolutely brilliant Le Tessier... Thank you for the great entertainment on the pitch. You were one of the finest footballers England has produced... God bless you and your family.
Bloody hell, you thought Baggio was underrated. Balloon d'or winner and voted 4th best player of the 20th century. Unless you think he is the greatest ever player I don't see how he was underrated.
Absolute Genius , what more can you say . I'm a Saints fan since 1975 , I was at Wembley in 1976 . Bring back the good old days . Southampton don't sell more good players for a profit , you get more for your money by winning Titles . Le Tissier played for the Shirt and the Crest above his Heart , not for the Money . Think on Chairmans of the Board .
