9) Matt Le Tissier – Southampton

if you haven’t hear of Matt Le Tissier, I suggest you youtube him as soon as possible. Considered one of the greatest to ever grace the Premier League Le Tissier was blessed with abundant talent and an ability to score from almost any distance.

The Englishman represented Southampton 443 times scoring 161 goals. Almost every big club were after him but he never moved. Even the players currently playing for the Saints can’t boast of the quality possessed by ‘Le God’ as he is fondly known.

Le Tissier put the Saints on the Footballing map, and he was a bigger name than the club he played. for. The public paid to watch him play, as crowds from all over the country flocked to get a glimpse of this magician.

Le Tissier saved his side on at least 5 separate occasions. He had a major role to play in all those years scoring at crucial times and being the difference between survival and relegation.
