sambosa75 Posted 17 June, 2009 Share Posted 17 June, 2009 Loved the video without the commentary, brought back memories of being there. I was there two witness 7 of those goals in the flesh...

sambosa757 Posted 17 June, 2009 Share Posted 17 June, 2009 All the ones at home actually! In fairness I was probably aged between 11-16 in this period but did see him score some crackers away from home as well. Wimbledon x 2 Newcastle x 3 Man Utd THAT goal v Arsenal. Happy days.

Manuel Posted 17 June, 2009 Share Posted 17 June, 2009 Genuine question from someone who wasn't lucky enough to be watching Saints in that era and has never seen LeTiss play. Many of those goals were from some distance away and a couple RIGHT in the top corner, I've seen a few times watching these videos the quick flick to get the ball airborne that he seemed to like before he cracked it. Was it usual for him to have a crack from distance? Was that his style? If so, did he miss plenty too, or was it almost expected that if he got a bit of space infront of goal, something would happen?

NickG Posted 17 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 17 June, 2009 trying to remember a game when thought he was at his best, think it may have been Norwich at home, midweek game - included jinking run from one end to the other?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redondo Saint Posted 17 June, 2009 Share Posted 17 June, 2009 We may have fallen upon hard times, but at least we have these memories.

um pahars Posted 17 June, 2009 Share Posted 17 June, 2009 Truly wonderful. I don't think any Club's fans, with the possible exception of United and Cantona, can say they have experienced such spectacular goals from one player over a prolonged timeframe in recent years. Who else is there who could hold a candle to him??? Cantona at United Henry at Arsenal Wright at Arsenal Gerrard at Liverpool (some spectacular goals, but not the range) Shearer at Newcastle (see gerrard above) Di Canio at West Ham (only there for 4 years) Not bad company IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it usual for him to have a crack from distance? Was that his style? If so, did he miss plenty too, or was it almost expected that if he got a bit of space infront of goal, something would happen? well, I always remember going to West Ham on the last day of one season (around 95 or 96).... Saints were awarded a free kick (as it turned out when I saw it back on Tv, around 35 yards out). The travelling army were celebrating "goal" before the wall had even been set. Free kicks anywhere in that range seemed to be the same as a pen!! With "Lookiing for eric" being topical, MLT could just have easily left a similar mark in a club the size of Man U. Many a fan of a rival team appreciate and remember Matt equally highly I guess looking back, it really is amazing that he was a saint through and through. I guess too it is also equally sobering in light of where we find our club now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, did he miss plenty too, or was it almost expected that if he got a bit of space infront of goal, something would happen? matty was a genius...sure there were games (not many) when he went missing (and i mean not many) but what he did for this club is something that will never happen again on the field... man u wanted him, chelsea very nearly signed him for a national transfer record, matt turned it down at the last min... he would always try the crazy with the ball and would ghost past players effortlessly (and he he was not the fastest). one of the greatest travistys in english football in the 90's was the fact matty only played for england 7 times...an abolute joke. what was (and it was) englands loss was well and truely our gain.. who else remembers that england B game.. matty scored 3, hit the woodwork twice and was captain.. he tore russia apart. yet that was not enough to get him into the england squad, yet the likes of ripley, wilcox, carlton palmer did... a joke. other teams and their fans gave matt loads of stick during games as they knew that at any moments he could score from anywhere and many many times he did..
