patrickcallaghan Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 Not only a Proper Player, but a cult hero to boot. Neither a conventional striker nor midfielder Matthew Le Tissier was given license to roam about as he pleased, which suited him perfectly as he didn’t much like wasting energy on movement. Instead, he invested it in scoring stunning goals. His career is a one-man highlights reel as he proved to be just as deadly from 12-yards as 30, scoring 47 of the 48 spot kicks he took. Hero-worshipped at the Dell, it is an enduring shame that the claims of the man they called Le God on the red-and-white section of the South Coast were overlooked by a succession of England managers. It’s even said that a certain Michel Platini once went looking for French heritage. One of Guernsey’s most celebrated sons, a 44-year-old Le Tissier came out of retirement to help his hometown club, Guernsey FC, through an end of 2012/13 season fixture pile-up – and to promotion to division one south of the Ryman South. Still Proper after all these years. http://properplayer.com/proper-players/mlt-web/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Armstrong Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 We know about Le Tissier, we don't need telling! What is this about, it's just covering old ground... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 Just an employee doing the job he was paid to do. He retired over 10 years ago and we don't live in the past on this site. Come back when you've started a website for proper chairmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu0x Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 It’s even said that a certain Michel Platini once went looking for French heritage. I'm pretty sure I read (in an interview/article about MLT, undurprisingly) that due to their rather unique status, under FIFA regs a channel islander could play for any of the Home Nations, or France.

That's the trouble with football today - no loyalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
