Here is a question for you, I appreciate no one will ever say a bad word about the man and i understand that, but looking through that video, he scored some very very good goals and in different ways , i also did not realise how pacey he was with the ball, anyway did he really do it week in week out? did you all have a bitch about him on bad days or were there more good days than bad?.

Luckily his days were before the internet. I have no doubt the modern helmets that go nowadays would moan. He was brilliant for many years. He obviously had his quiet periods, but how many times did people say ‘he did nothing except for that 25 yard screamer that won the game’.
You were lucky he stayed but the team(s) you had in those days were built for the top tier in football, it is unusual for a player to stay with one club, you had MLT we had Alan Knight.
He would not be touched in modern day football and his obvious talent would have earned him a lot of caps, I know it's been said big fish small pond and all of that but as a football fan I appreciate the talent of the man.
I was working up in Soton and had a KFC just off the flyover, in he walks ,9 piece bargain bucket for 1. (true story).

You’re a good man. We were lucky indeed. He did play with some utter dross at times. It was often a case of Le Tissier plus 9 other hod carriers. At the start of his career we did have quite an attacking strong side though. The Wallace brothers, shearer, rideout. Beating Liverpool with a 4-2-4 formation were good times.
I honestly don't remember anyone moaning about him ever, the thing is that even outside his worldie goals, and even when he was having an "off day" he'd still stick the ball on someone's head, or in a position where they shouldn't miss, at least once a game.
I mean he even made Ian Dowie look a competent striker at the top level of football, how many players could do that!

I was watching back over some old footage from the 90s recently and his corners were just unreal. He would hit them so hard and so flat with a tiny bit of dip at the last minute - you could see how uncomfortable the goalkeepers were. Other than Paul Scholes, I can’t think of any other English player who could hit the ball as well as Le Tiss. Who cares about his diet, we got to watch pure natural talent every week for relatively little money. Sometimes I wonder if I actually dreamt it!

His close control was something else, still vividly remember us playing Forest (think it was first game of the season) the season Bryan Roy joined them, and Matty was by the old West stand surrounded by three of them, he just sort of nonchalantly dropped his shoulder juggled the ball foot to foot and walked out with it. He had absolutely no right to get by them but he made it look easy.
Also remember his "warm up's" infront of the Milton when it was a terrace, where he'd just stand a bit outside the day and hit the crossbar with the ball, he'd do it nine times out of ten too.
Can remember opposition players standing in the center circle watching him do it. The keepers must've absolutely sh*t themselves when they saw that

He was and is the best thing to happen to the club. Loved the fact he wasn’t arsed about training, diet,or playing for a big club, that makes him the only real hero of football for me. Some of our pathetic fans slagged him since the Cortese row and recently on here for his Twitter wind ups with Liverpool gimps.
