John B Posted 26 July, 2017 Share Posted 26 July, 2017 Those were the days Premier League at 25: best goal – Matt Le Tissier v Manchester United, 1996 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/26/premier-league-best-goal-matt-le-tissier-southampton-manchester-united-1996#img-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydie Posted 26 July, 2017 Share Posted 26 July, 2017 Probably not even his best goal! (v Blackburn where he hits the towel in Flowers goal for me) Happy he was chosen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfahaji Posted 26 July, 2017 Share Posted 26 July, 2017 (edited) That should mean he has 3 or 4 more to go...! Edit: Just read the article, very good, and captures the reasons why those early Premier League years will always be the best, and it clearly wasn't just because I was about 10 years old, when everything seems brilliant, especially with the benefit of nostalgia!

Bad Wolf Posted 26 July, 2017 Share Posted 26 July, 2017 Odd choice. I can think of two or three of HIS that were better than that one. Still class though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Saint Posted 26 July, 2017 Share Posted 26 July, 2017 I was behind the goal (level with the crossbar) in Milton Road end for that game. I can make out my Dad's bald dome (in the yellow jumper) in the photo used in the Guardian article. I'm sat to his left, aged 10, face obscured by the crossbar. Still the best game I've ever watched as a Saints fan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the video I jump up just after everybody else as I was convinced it was hitting the crossbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salisbury saints1 Posted 26 July, 2017 Share Posted 26 July, 2017 Just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary where we listed best footie matches attended. This match plus the same fixture in the previous season (Man U changing shirts at half time!) were both in the top 5. However, I don't agree with the article that the PL was better in the early days - IMO the standard of football and players is much now than 20 years ago. eg I love Benali to bits but he wouldn't get near any current PL 1st team.

Saint86 Posted 30 July, 2017 Share Posted 30 July, 2017 Strange choice. Great goal but it was a very slight deflection. Was right behind it and it took a slightly odd trajectory from the way he hit it. Still my favourite match ever though. Nothing comes close to his goal at the Dell v Newcastle though. Never seen one similar since. His goal vs liverpool I think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
