MATT LE TISSIER - TALKING LE TISS - Matt's Career From The Dell To Sky, Beliefs & Saints v Cherries
Manage episode 442099547 series 3601176
There are very few one club players in football. Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Mark Noble to name a few. However Southampton had one of their own back in the 1990's and bloody hell wasn't he an outstanding player.
Matt Le Tissier travelled over from his native Guernsey to the South Coast (after almost signing for Oxford United as a YTS) and joined Southampton. And he has never left Hampshire since.
This is the man who made The Dell a frightening proposition. A man who scored over 160 goals in over 400 games. And he only missed ONE penalty in his whole career despite having almost 50 opportunities from the spot.
Matt discusses with us THAT goal against Blackburn Rovers where he hit it from 40 yards, THAT free kick against Wimbledon where he flicked the ball up before striking it and THAT game against Manchester United where the Saints tore the Red Devils apart so much that Sir Alex Ferguson had to make an excuse of the grey shirts instead of applauding Saints who steamrolled his side (oh and then they won 6-3 the following season as well, although admittedly Craig got them mixed up!)
We discuss the journey with Sky and presenting Soccer Saturday with Jeff Stelling and the original crew. We also discuss Matt's departure from the studio and whether he gets on with Jamie Carragher after leaving.
Matt also discusses his beliefs and we discuss freedom of speech before looking at Southampton's journey back to the Premier League and the current setup and if Matt would be happy to see new Tyler Dibling replicate what he did for the club. Matt also has his say on AFC Bournemouth as a club and the journey we have taken.
So enjoy this interview where Craig Beazley discusses Saints and Cherries with Le God - a man held in such high regard in the Premier League and relive some of his greatest moments.
We would like to thank Matt Le Tissier for joining us on this show.
