The first time I saw Matt Le Tissier, I could scarcely believe my eyes. This man born in the Channel Islands is pure anachronism.

In an era of hypertrophic, hyper-physical, frenzied, and schizophrenic football, he moves cheerfully on the pitch, dispensing pure aesthetics like no other English player before him.

Reluctant to sacrifice and with a questionable work ethic, the son of Guernsey possesses the pristine touch of a true football ace, the finesse of a striker, and an icy composure from the penalty spot.
