Le Tissier

[scott_saints]

Has decided to write an autobiography

 

I'm pretty sure it will sell well in Southampton that's f'sure!!

 

I see the OS are after comments from fans regarding Matty himself...

Sweet, will definately pick it up.

[EFM]

August 2009! Way too late to ask for as a Christmas present. Can't wait though, should be a great read. I hope he writes it himself rather than get a "ghost writer".

 

The chapter about Glenda should be very interesting. And suitably vitriolic I hope.

[Tac-tics]

been waiting for this for ages.

read Gerrards, Rio's,Rooneys,Beckhams,Best's which all make interesting reading, just finsishing David Davies book "FA Confidential" was hoping MLT would write one.

[St Landrew]

Where do I order a copy from..?

[Sheff Saint]

God.

[Yate Saint]

I thought he was. Watching Gillete Soccter Saturday the other week and somone kind of mentioned it about 'its a good time to be selling autobiographys, eh Matt'. Obviously they thought he was bringing it out sooner. I will be purchasing that.

[Paul Chuckle]

just in time for when i go on Holiday in September 2009

 

Reading Dean Windass autobiog at the moment and thats a good read.

[trousers]

I'd rather he came back to help save the club in some sort of hands-on role rather than waste precious time writing a book.

would be interested to know how close and on how many occaisions he came to leaving us and what made him stay......

 

LOL - the OS asking for fans comments....just GOD will do

 

I just thank my lucky stars i was (just) old enough to see his whole career and someone so fecking good

[Thedelldays]

I like to think however crap we get now, it's ok because we had over ten years of one of the greatest players ever. I wouldn't swap that for being in the Premiership now.

 

 

indeed..on talksport earlier they were talking about the great british sporting traverties - matt getting 7 england caps was one of the most mentioned..

 

when he got snubbed for the 98 world cup he was never the same player really...

[Saint Mikey]

It was probably deserved, afterall, Hoddle said he'd see what he could do in that England B game, and Le Tissier was rubbish in that wasn't he. Plus, England went on to easily win the world cup without him, never needing a set piece or penalty expert.

 

The '98 World Squad was:

 

David Seaman, Nigel Martyn, Tim Flowers, Sol Campbell, Tony Adams, Gareth Southgate, Graeme Le Saux, Martin Keown, Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville, David Beckham, Darren Anderton, Paul Ince, David Batty, Paul Scholes, Rob Lee, Steve McManaman, Paul Merson, Teddy Sheringham, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer (captain), Les Ferdinand

 

So basically, Rob Lee kept Le Tiss out and there was no place for Gazza either.

Hoddles treatment of Le Tiss is the reason i despise Hoddle with a passion. When Hoddle was manager of Chelsea he tried to sign Le Tiss, but because Le Tiss was loyal Hoddle always held a grudge and when he became England manager he wouldn't pick Le Tiss out of pure spite. ****.

I hear Graham Hiley is the ghost writer.

[Bad Wolf]

What was that he was signing copies of in Waterstones the other week then?

[ottery st mary]

Venables was the same re Spurs etc etc.....But you will find people like Platini and the Brazilian coach all said the likes of Hoddle and Venables had a personal Grudge and he would be in their teams ..what was all that about...Should have 50-70 caps without a doubt..He would be in most world teams anyday.

[kwsaint]

It may have been the Jeremy Butler book on Le Tissier. I made the mistake of getting it out of the library. I gave up after three chapters as it was so badly written. Hopefully whoever ghost writes this book will do a better job.

I think Lee would have got in the squad anyway. It was Darren Anderton who took what should have been Le Tissier's place, despite having played the grand total of 15 times that season thanks to various injuries (surprise, surprise).

A certain lover of mr hoddle who posts on here will not ba happy with you

[Bailey]

If Le Tiss isn't needing the money then perhaps he'd donate all proceeds to the club?

 

Either way, I'm very much looking forward to this. Should prove to be a great read.

[View From The Top]

I wonder how many nippers are names Matthew after le God?

 

Mine is. :-)

[KK the 2nd]

Bought this a couple of years ago and was quite a good read. The MLT story from a fan's perspective. Might be difficult to get hold of now though.
