The good old days

[Matt]

I've always hated Southampton. Its probably because of Le Tissier's face.

They were always useful for handing out a dicking to Utd though.

Le Tissier was a brilliant player.

Agreed he would have been even better if he left Soton, but you can't question his loyalty. Wish we had more of his type in our line-up

Le Tissier was a genius of a player. The kind you'd happily pay to watch. Class.

I always hated that stupid stand at Southampton which tapered from about 30 rows to like 5; it was always on the left of the screen when the TV cameras were there.

As for Le Tiss, he was a You Tube player before You Tube was invented

It's easy to say that he was a wasted talent there, but he must have saved them from going down countless times.

I used to strangely quite like The Dell. Never went there, but I seemed to spend my childhood watching live Sky Monday night games from there, usually littered with stunning Le Tissier goals.

I remember John Barnes scoring from about 50 yards there once, trickling it into the back of the net as Beasant ambled back. Souness was their manager then too.

I used to like the Saints actually, i used to love watching Le Tiss, Pahars, that baldy lad Marsden(?) and when Strachan was in charge they played some good stuff with Beattie and that Fernandas lad.

Just shows you when a club even like Southampton goes out of the Prem, things can just continue to fall. Scary.

They used to have some brilliantly weird foreign players, the likes of which you don't really see anymore (unless you're Fulham).

Remember that game well. Watched it in the pub. Wore our 'cream' kit IIRC.

Was that the "ecru" kit?

A mate of mine has been out on the lash with him and by all accounts he's a very nice bloke who genuinely enjoys talking about footy with his fans.

That's the one, horrible neck on it though

For some reason my dad picked up an XXXL ecru kit from somewhere. Berger 15 on the back. I've claimed it and now play 5 a side in it.

Le Tiss was a great player. and some of the goals he scored simply superb. that free kick where he chipped it up and volleyed it into the net.

also his loyalty to Southampton. that has to be admired.

[Guest]

I actually did see Le Tissier play. I'm glad he didn't for England. The deluded cunt is still bitter about that.

Pretty ignorant comment above mate.

'kin ell I'm obviously getting old.

The good old days and Southampton to me means Mick Shannon , Dave Watson and Kevin Keegan or when I started going to the game Kevin Bond , David Armstrong and Steve Moran.

Le Tiss was only a few years ago - nowhere near long enough to be reminiscing about
