toofarnorth Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Thanks for that. Includes lots of his early goals that you dont often see, but really are some of his best. Used to run with the ball a bit more when he was a youngun.

Barry the Badger Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Wow. Just wow. My greatest regret as a Saints fan is that I was 5 years too young to fully appreciate Matt at his absolute best, and only saw him 'live' a few times. I love the Blackburn one where the Blackburn fans behind the goal are clapping.
Window Cleaner Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I can imagine MLT playing Papageno actually.

View From The Top Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 He is and always will be my footballing god. I have never seen a better goal than that one he scored at Blackburn. Corky Morris and I watched in stunned disbelief before going nuts. He actually missed a sitter in the 90th min which would have been his hatrick and secured a 3-3 draw.
SuperMikey Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Cracking video, shame I was about 2 when he was banging most of those in for us!
Giordano Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 wonderful ...loved seeing some of those early goals again......love the goals but then i get all irate knowing how lacking in his flair the (failure) england teams of his era were and why it is still the most scandalous exclusion of the outstanding player of his generation year after year from the england team...its like Argentina not picking Messi year after year....or Portugal not picking Ronaldo year after year....only in flecking england could we dispense with a Le TRissier in favour of a Heskey......groans gnashes teeth and they ask why we never win anything at international level...you get a genius and you pick the donkey instead...cretins...
keithd Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 f**k me. was lucky enough to see most of his career, sh*t he wasnt half good!!!

fanimal Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 That is just so good - LE GOD! And he could tackle in afew...always hit the corner of the net, incredible accuracy! And hats off to Ian Dowie involved in the build up to many of the goals.
Doctoroncall Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 a class act, so many great goals there. Happy memories.
Shuggy Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I remember the free kick at Upton Park especially, "Alan Ball's Red and White Army" sung the whole game nearly, the Chicken Runs last game for the Hammers, the pitch invasion and the whole frozen chicken being lobbed into our end, happy days. MLT is simply a Legend.
paris Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I've just put on my FB page ......he just make's it all look so easy a genius .....
JRM Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Superb video, and not just for Le Tiss genius but also for some great shots of the changing face of the dell, the old Archers Pens, some rare footage on there as well like Oldham at home in the Littlewoods Cup 1990 the Milton is absolutely packed I remember being in the club shop when it was announced the gates had been locked with a queue outside and everyone started running round to the archers. Norwich at home also 89/90 season, what a hatrick that was. Middlesbrough away 1992 on there, was a mid-week game in January and probably the modern era record of least number of saints fans in the away end. I like footage of the old away end at Plough Lane as well. Brilliant.
Gemmel Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 One thing that always strikes me when watching clips of Mattys goals, is the quality of midfielders, defenders and goalies, that MLT makes look chumps. There are plenty of Internationals in that clip alone, that don't even knwo where to look let alone defend. Thanks for posting that clip, reminds me how privelaged we were to have him. 19*****een watch and weep
Giordano Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I like footage of the old away end at Plough Lane as well.....Aghhh sighs...the away end at plough lane....I remember one year there with Saints some fans made a mini bonfire on the away terrace at Plough lane made up of newspaper it was that cold.....of course could'nt would'nt happen now aftermath of bradford but shows different times different standards..remember watching Vinnie Jones actually doing ball juggling tricks in pre match warm up and us taking the p out of the hodcarrying thug so obviously trying too hard to show that he could actually do something with the ball apart from kick people near it ( he could do about 4 keepy uppys as i recall...lol) ..
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 For me his best was the chip pver Schmeichal from the 18 yard line in the 6-3 game. How did he get it up and over the big Dane and then down again I will never know. Not on this video but worth checking out. That guy was awesome - and to see those sporting Liverpool fans applaud after he had turned Mark Wright inside out in front of the Kop, what a memory.
Giordano Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I think it was always clear that it was Le tiss or another forward- not instead of another midfielder ie Gascoigne. And that other forward was invariably Heskey or am i being bias? lol.

And that other forward was invariably Heskey or am i being bias? lol. It was only Heskey towards the end... People go on about 98 but I think the real crime is that he wasn't playing for England around 92-94 when they were failing miserably to qualify for a World Cup whilst he was winning game after game for us! Those were his best years as far as I can tell, although correct me if I'm wrong.
miserableoldgit Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Quote from the youtube page:- What a wasted talent by England. Shame on you Glenn Hoddle. At least we saints fans saw his genius and enjoyed it. Herbie TheHelloist 48 minutes ago Don`t let Dalek see it though!
Saint_clark Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Thing I like most is how often you see the opposition players just stand and stare at him after he scores as if to say "how the f*ck...?".
thefuriousb Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Norwich at home also 89/90 season, what a hatrick that was. Best goal of the game though was from Kevin "Milky" Moore. INHO
Saints Ward Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 That makes my hairs stand on end watching that.......thanks for posting, very special memories. Couple of goals missing worth checking out are the free kick against wimbledon (I think?) where magilton rolls it back to him and he flicks it up and volley's in to the top corner and the last goal at the dell against arsenal.
JRM Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Best goal of the game though was from Kevin "Milky" Moore. INHO that was a great goal for Kevin Moore who was a great defender for us in that era, but come on, the solo Le Tiss effort where he effortlessly drifts through their team then strokes it into the bottom corner is superb, and the chip to for his 3rd goal is brilliant lobbing the keeper the ball goes into slow motion. quite like the footage from Highfield Road as well circa 1990 good old away terrace that was.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 wonderful ...loved seeing some of those early goals again......love the goals but then i get all irate knowing how lacking in his flair the (failure) england teams of his era were and why it is still the most scandalous exclusion of the outstanding player of his generation year after year from the england team...its like Argentina not picking Messi year after year....or Portugal not picking Ronaldo year after year....only in flecking england could we dispense with a Le TRissier in favour of a Heskey......groans gnashes teeth and they ask why we never win anything at international level...you get a genius and you pick the donkey instead...cretins... This. Plus also does anyone else not notice his pace and trickery? He was no one trick pony and the comments about him being lazy are rubbish IMO.

How did he get it up and over the big Dane and then down again I will never know. Not on this video but worth checking out. He said he tried it because Phillipe Albert lobbed Schmeichal the week before. If you do find it, I'm the fat bloke behind the goal where it lands who takes slightly longer than everybody else to stand up. I've got tears in my mind remembering watching the ball come toward me and thinking it was going to hit the bar. One of the best days of my life that
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 A few of the goals spoken about above are in this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSsdfe4Z69g
Liquidshokk Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Had to lol at the guy who slid to try and stop the ball going in the net after le tiss had got passed the keeper only to get the post between his legs. ouch!
Liquidshokk Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 A few of the goals spoken about above are in this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSsdfe4Z69g My face aches after smiling so much. Great stuff
The9 Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I like footage of the old away end at Plough Lane as well.....Aghhh sighs...the away end at plough lane....I remember one year there with Saints some fans made a mini bonfire on the away terrace at Plough lane made up of newspaper it was that cold.....of course could'nt would'nt happen now aftermath of bradford but shows different times different standards..remember watching Vinnie Jones actually doing ball juggling tricks in pre match warm up and us taking the p out of the hodcarrying thug so obviously trying too hard to show that he could actually do something with the ball apart from kick people near it ( he could do about 4 keepy uppys as i recall...lol) .. I don't want to mess with your timeline, but the Bradford fire was in 1985 and Wimbledon didn't even get into the top division until 1986/7, so it most definitely could have happened in the aftermath of Bradford as unless you happened to have gone to Plough Lane in 1978/9 for an FA Cup tie (and Vinny Jones wasn't playing then) you must have done that after the Bradford fire. Getting back to the Le Tiss stuff, I've never seen that Norwich dribble and bender inside the post before, what an insane goal. I'm guessing all of that was ITV-owned League Division One (and League Cup) footage, which is why no-one ever gets to see it ?
acersaint Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I just love the look on the defender's faces !! You can see them thinking "how the f##k did he do that?" By Le God did he know where the net was. We were so blessed with his presence.
The9 Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I think it was always clear that it was Le tiss or another forward- not instead of another midfielder ie Gascoigne. And that other forward was invariably Heskey or am i being biased? lol. No, your memory is just shot to hell, Heskey's England debut was in April 1999, Le Tiss' last England appearance in 1997, so there are at least two years there where it definitely wasn't Heskey keeping him out AFTER his last appearance (never mind in 1992 when Heskey was an under 16 !), and I think you'd struggle to make a case for Le Tiss for England after 1998 anyway.

Kevin Moore, bless him, is now in a hospice for people with dementia in Curdridge with my wife's Grandad. Poor bloke. Great goal at Wembley in 92
Crab Lungs Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Wow, the goals still amaze me to this day. What angers me more is how he never got more caps. There is simply no good reason or excuse for that. He was so good he had goal of the season competitions with himself. Anyway... does anyone remember when Corp Ho said Robert Prosinecki was better? ROFLCOPTERS
Gemmel Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Anyway... does anyone remember when Corp Ho said Robert Prosinecki was better? ROFLCOPTERS He's getting slightly confused, the pompey dvd entitled "Unbelievable" has a different focus that Matt's did.

You're missing the point. Replace Heskey by Anderton (or any other England donkey who played instead of Matty pre 1998 ).
trousers Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 One word: Sublime Can someone please sneak this footage into the Saints dressing room and play it in front of the team before the start of each remaining game this season? Over to you VNMAN.... ;-) Thanks
hasper57saint Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I've had the pleasure over the years to watch two players who were outstanding in what they did with a ball, Len Shackleton and Matty. Both of them were denied an England place because they were TOO GOOD and would have exposed the Londoncentric FA selections of their 'own kind' as inadequate. Neither Len nor Matt were 'conformists' and the selectors didn't like anyone who was prepared to put two fingers up to them!

aintforever Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Great video. The bloke is a genius. The thing is all you tend to ever see now are the goals, some of the other passes/flicks/assists etc he pulled off were just as impressive.
shurlock Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Nice variety - usually all the early footage of his goals is grainy and incomplete. Lardass had a fair bit of pace. Shame it didnt have the Newcastle brace, the Schmeichel lob, the Wimbledon flick, the overhead kick at Forest amongst countless others. Cortese should be forced Clockwork Orange-style to watch these videos over and over again to understand why Le Tiss is so integral to many of our memories and experience of the club. How much stronger we would be if they were both onside.
