St Landrew Posted 1 March, 2009 Author Share Posted 1 March, 2009 People can be fickle. You may not believe it, but I remember groans and desperate mutterings from fans when players of the calibre of Ron Davies and Terry Paine failed to make things happen or score with the slightest of chances. The thing about Matt Le Tissier was that he was no ordinary player. He wasn't a great player in the conventional sense. He was a maverick; an enigma. If he was left out of the team, you could almost predict the result, because that dangerous element had been removed. But 10 seconds play from MLT could be the difference between 3 points or less. To look at his contribution with that traditional English eye is to totally devalue his worth. He was quite simply the most skillful player of his generation, and I say that knowing players like Gascoigne and Cantona were about at the time. They were more conventional and yet they had the aura of brilliance, but MLT was above even them. Leave him out of an all-time team..? You must be off your head..!

MLT can replace Ball, Case or Williams, it's a no brainer and if you asked these three players they would agree as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpb Posted 2 March, 2009 Share Posted 2 March, 2009 you must be joking to think he would do a better job at left midfield than armstrong, did you ever see them play? I've been going since 1955 so, yes, I have seen them all play. I actually think that Paine is the best player ever to play for Saints but MLT was a genius.
