One of the greatest players never to be given a chance by England?

I thought he played for England a few times.
Always seems a decent bloke but bleeds Southampton so much that he will never say anything negative even if they deserve it.
(Was he on Sky, did not watch it)

He had all the talent and not enough application to fulfill his potential. Always looked overweight and wouldn't be a Premier League player if he had played in this era unless he was more far more professional.

What a player though.

He's still pretty slim.

England as a team just do my head in. We had Hoddle and Robson played him as a right wing back, we had Tiss who was just sublime and never got a chance in the England side, a bit like Cantona with France. We never learn how to play our best.

He enjoyed being the big fish in that small pond of Southampton, turned down several offers from bigger clubs.

I was at Anfield for a Liverpool v Southampton game some years back, it was 6-0 to Liverpool when Le Tisier came on as a sub and scored the best goal of the entire game, a superb shot into the top corner, and pretty much the entire ground stood and applauded.

Saw him play in blue and white at the Goldstone too, a testimonial game, can’t remember who for , even in that game he oozed ability, he was one of the greats who never made it as a great..

Aha, an opportunity to pose one of my favourite football trivia questions. Who is the only goalkeeper to have saved a Le Tiss penalty?
