"Keown and I would fight when the ball was 40 yards away" | Matt Le Tissier's Toughest Opponents 💥 - Sport
Matt should still be a pundit on the TV.
I always thought Matt Le Tiss was the most underrated player of the modern era. A brilliant player and thoroughly intelligent and decent fella 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Matt Le Tiss...
Legend on and off the pitch.
Legend on the pitch and absolute bellend off it.
@Yorkman7 ignorance is bliss hey. What did he say that was wrong?
Implied that Eriksens collapse was due to Covid vaccine and was wrong because Eriksen was not vaccinated. If you want evidence of his general stupidity look at most of the channels he has even on the last few years. As I said great player but……
@@Yorkman7 You don't like people questioning your heroes in government, big pharma and the corporate media? You couldn't be more on the wrong side of history if you tried.
@@Mac-ku3xu Because he does exactly what you are doing to me. You assume I support government , big pharma and the media and you are wrong. However I do believe Covid was, and is ,real and he rubbishes people who have that view. He was a brilliant footballer reduced to shopping his views around on any channel that gives him airtime on the assumption he is right and everyone else is wrong. He is entitled to his views but when he tells lies ( Eriksen as an example) he loses credibility.
Genius player and enlightened man.
He’s not enlightened at all. He’s a conspiracy nutjob who spouts drivel all day long
@@jamesmarshall1485 shit you say!shit you talk! Negative take but hey ho .
A lazy player with zero ambition. Which pretty much reflects his current career of making cheap money out of gullible idiots who believe his unadulterated nonsense.
☝️☝️☝️
😂😂😂😂😂
Le Tiss is the only ex-player who gives me as big a smile on my face listening to him talk as he did watching him play, a total legend and great man.
Jeff so happy that you have made the transition to this format. As an Aussie Pom who spent a long time in the UK back in the day, you made winter weekends so special.
A top player and a top human being. Thank you Jeff👍
Matt Le Tissier, what an unbelievable player! Rocking up to training eating a McDonald's breakfast, not taking training all that swriously, wasnt in the greatest shape but none of it stopped him turning it on and lighting up the league with audacious skill and outrageous goals. Without a doubt one if my favourite players of all time
Le tiz so underrated. If he was south American we are talking zico esq
Had the pleasure of meeting le tiss and he really is what you see ! 100% himself
Jeff’s getting the gang back together because Sky have gone woke 👏🏻
You wouldn’t know what woke is if it kicked you in the bollocks.
Brilliant chat - MLT is humble, balanced and entertaining in what he says.
One of the most gifted footballers I've ever seen Le Tiss single handedly kept Southampton up so many times. If you had to have someone take and score a penalty to save your life I'm picking Le Tiss.
Great to see the gradual media “rehabilitation” of Le Tiss after he dared speak truths he wasn’t supposed to utter.
What truths .. its just conspiracy theories..boring right wing idiots ... nothing he says is evidenced ...
I tell this story to LeTissier fans because it`s true and it gives an insight into his down-to-earth personality. Matt sent me a Southampton rosette and an autographed pic of himself within a type of team program magazine thanking me for my support after hearing my positive comments about his play from some Southampton managment brass who had come to Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada and were part of a tour group I took across a glacier. I told them I couldn't understand why he wasn't given a fair shake for the World Cup squad and to pass along that he has a big fan working in the Cdn Rocky Mtns. Couple months later an envelope showed up in my mailbox. I returned the favour by sending him a Montreal Canadiens hockey t-shirt the year they won the Stanley Cup. Cool huh?
Yes, that is cool.
Brilliant - thank you Matt (and Jeff)
Nice one Robbo
We all forget, Pearce also took a penalty in the semi against Germany at euro 96. People only remember the one against Spain because of the celebration, but the one against Germany required more bottle because of the occasion and opposition.
Des Walker. Quality player.
You'll never beat Des walker! Sheffield Wednesday
Loved Matt as a player love him as a pundit just an all round grounded guy and picked a guy I worshipped as a kid as the toughest you'll never best Des Walker who's also class. Respect Jeff another top bloke lovin your work keep it up 👍
What a player Le Tiss was. Wish he had played for us.
i remember palace playing forest, midweek at selhurst. walker was the england centre back at the time. marco gabbiadini gave him a torrid time. run him ragged. even more surprising, steve coppell took him off at half time. palace fans couldnt believe it. also loved mark dennis at palace. saw him sprint halfway across the pitch to get involved in a fight. but he was actually a good player. sadly wasnt with us very long. think he had lots of injuries
Glad Paul McGrath got a mention
Keown lives in Oxford. Seem him in Headington. Big fella
Matt Le Tissier in the modern day game with carpet pitches
Wow
I wonder if he'd be put out on the wing if it was now though. Some things would definitely be easier for him but I wonder if it's because it's all about the systems now if he'd do as well because even players like Grealish seem to have all the invididual flair they once had coached out of them just to fit into a particular way of playing
Ruddock is like one of those builders who has to go knocking for business door to door .
As a Gooner watching at Highbury from the late 60''s till early 2000's. Yeah Arsenal had their fair share of hard players, Sammy Nelson could change in a second. Most of the defenders Adams, Keown, Winterburn ( 1990 Man Utd, huge brawl ), Sansom, Storey, O'Leary, McLintock, Campbell, Bould and more could mix it if required. Good show, and thanks.
Youll Never beat Des Walker! haha love it, Love Tiss hes a legend and as a Forest fan the fact he picked Des as his toughest opponent made me buzz.
Matts description of how Pearce played sounds just like Milner at Liverpool everytime he faced Wilf Zaha. Palace signed Mark Dennis, he just disappeared from our team one day never to be seen again, he smashed his Girlfriends front door down with an ax and arrested.
Brian clough once said Le Tiss does not need to work hard, he works hard when he has the ball
When Cantona retired, Le Tiss was the player I really wanted to come and replace him. I loved how he played. In the end I’m glad he stayed at Southampton, not because he wasn’t good enough but because I respect any player that wants to be a one club man.
Far too many adverts in this
I went school with Des Walker in Enfield, use to hang out with him at youth club before he went spurs trials and at Notts Forest me and local guys when he joined Forest Remember him, driving, Capri Laser 😂😂
Legend ❤
What a player and goalscorer the to players I like watching most r Le Ti's and Ronaldinho
Remember Stuart Pearce playing for Wealdstone in his non league days. Used to scare opponents & even team mates at times 😅
He tells some class stories from back then 😂
@@footballsgreatestpod I bet , I used to watch him a lot. A few good fa cup ties too. Thanks for reply 🙏
Postman Pat was a brilliant player, what a showreel his goals are
Interesting he picked Des Walker as #1. Des never seemed to have a bad game, Always a 7 or 8 out of 10 performance.
Walker always seemed very quick on the few occasions I saw him live. I know there was the game against Holland where OVermars did him a couple of times but I don't think anybody in England realised how quick Overmars was at the time so thought Walker had lost his pace or something.
Legend 👏👏👏👌
Think what you will about his, let's say, opinions. But as a player, some of the goals were awesome, and some meant so much. Love the old stories.
I thought it would be Des Walker just before he said it.
Keep up the good work Jeff
Thoughts on the big game this weekend
As a Chelsea fan yet another pathetic result
Matt...Le MAN
The GOAT
Martin the rash Keown one of my favourite players.
Must be an Arsenal fan otherwise you'd hate Keown 😂
@@footballsgreatestpod haha yes I am feel he was underated abit like Ray Parlour certainly someone you would want in your team.
Great at yanking on shirts - almost as good as getting skinned. I remember our diminutive Jose Dominguez running rings around him. COYS 🤣🤣
Pearce used to put on the Pistols full blast before each game.. You can imagine the first tackle with God save the Queen in his head 'We mean it Maaaan..' ..
Great Channel, Jeff.
Paul McGrath was top top class.
Tried various VPNs, I have never found by switching locations flights, hotels are any cheaper Jeff.
Le Tissier mad under rated
Le Tiss would’ve scored even more goals in the modern game.
Blinding 🎉
Keown kept insisting the world is round and LeTiss was having none of it.
A great player but played for the love of football and put enjoyment ahead of success and why he stayed at Southampton where he could be main man and play how he wanted but I always thought he would of been a brilliant replacement for Cantona instead of Sheringham but it turned out alright
Never aspired to making the very best of his abilities at the highest level. Deliberately stayed at the Dell because he was a shoe in every week and didn’t have to deal with expectations, constant discipline, grit, graft and consistency. Great player but a lazy player.
Fulham have always had good pitches over the years.
Great shout, had to roll out the carpet for some legends over the years haven't they
Le God
A tough top 5 Des walker and Paul Mcgrath top players all those 5 would be 100m players now
Des was a great defender but I've heard it said he might struggle with the modern demands to play out from the back.
Head the ball….literally
There werent any yellow cards when he started. You just got booked.
Who's the most intimidating player in the Premier League today? 🤔
Big Duncan Ferguson
Sorry didn't read today. Probably virgil van diijk
Got me there, I don’t think there is an intimidating player in the premier league anymore
Great footballer, did not play enough games for England
ffs bbc studios. thats the last one of these i watch ...
Byeee!
@@Mac-ku3xu sorry you don't mind propping up a corporation that knowingly protects pedophiles... Well good for you son... What a nob end .
Byee
Neil Ruddock wasn't in that Spurs team for that particular match
Yes, that was a strange one. Ruddock made his debut for Spurs after Roberts had left earlier that season. They never played together.
Letissier never said he was in that team...stelling did..Matt said he didn't remember that.
Le Tiss couldn't play in todays game. I stop watching football about 10 yrs ago and just started again. The speed is ridiculous, the games about athletes, not proper footballers, Hoddle, Sheringham, these types of players wouldn't stand a chance.
Is it just me, but hearing Jeff talk about NordVPN makes me actually consider it? - heard the same spiel a million times 😂
Le Tissier seems a top bloke 👍🏼
Don't hold your hand in front of your face when there's a mic in front of you ya dope. Thought you were an experienced broadcaster?
Oh shut up.Where's you broadcasting credentials?
@@TJL6969 It's the professional broadcaster doing it, not me. The equivelant of a lifeguard who can't swim.
@@robovac3557 Oh My God🤦♂️🤪
@@TJL6969 A nothing response when all you can think of is a couple emojis.
Too much plugging and Jeff a little over the top, Le God top player
Matt talks a lot of sense
lol
Keown is still annoying!
Even tho a scummer was a great player no doubt in that
Jeff 218 likes ..this is down to nobody uses CZcams anymore because you get cancelled ...put you're stuff on X freedom of speach .. understand!
Remember , behind every "conspiracy theory " is a right wing billionaire.
Its because Keown was shite
Really! As jilted John sung he's more of a man than you'll ever be. Good, hard professional footballer.
@@stevewilson6390 Of course really! Do you think he would do the same to striker in league2? No, because he would fancy his chances against him. The ONLY way he could get the better of Le Tiss was to annoy him!!
Keown was 'good' at best, the guy was soooo lucky to have the other 3 in with him. Dicko and Adams have said in interviews that he was insecure and was always checking where he should be etc. One of the most overrated yet.
@@tweedlio2763
No offence meant tweedilo !! I remember his commitment when they played Man United, he was tough aggressive and battled all the time with United players ( ask Van Nistelroy ) he wasn't scared of any player. He played for Arsenal a great team, so for you to say he was shite was unjust. If he was he wouldn't have played for them for so long.
I wish i had his talent and no I'm not an Arsenal supporter.
@@stevewilson6390 Don't you wish you could have Adams' talent?? 🤣
He was tough aggressive and battled well, but notice how you never mentioned any footballing qualities, good tackler, passer, touch, header etc. I don't think he was that good, i think his fitness and physique helped him a lot and like many relied on the fact he was fitter than most and listened to instruction well.
Question, if i said you could have his talent but you have to take the looks and hair as well, is it worth it???🤣🤣
Surprised you’re platforming this dangerous nutty conspiracy theorist and that Jeff is still friends with him
Why wouldn't he be
What did he say that was wrong?
Hard for you to admit that you was done and you continue to kid yourself.
Mate you’re the nutter. Matt talks fax’s.
I'm not. He's just against the covid vaccine & that's his opinion. It's not a reason to stop being friends with him.
jojo is probably still hiding in their loo roll bunker, triple masked, angrily shouting at their phone
