Matthew Paul Le Tissier (/ləˈtɪsieɪ/; born 14 October 1968) is a former professional footballer. Born in Guernsey, he won eight caps for the England national team. Le Tissier spent his entire professional club career with Southampton before turning to non-League football in 2002; his loyalty garnered special affection from Southampton’s fans who nicknamed him “Le God“.[3] A creative attacking midfielder with exceptional technical skills,[4] Le Tissier is the second-highest-ever scorer for Southampton behind Mick Channon and was voted PFA Young Player of the Year in 1990. He was the first midfielder to score 100 goals in the Premier League. He is notable for his record at scoring penalty kicks—converting from the spot 47 times from 48 attempts—and is considered one of the greatest ever from the 12-yard spot.[5] In 2011, he became honorary president of Guernsey F.C. Following his retirement as a player, Le Tissier became a football pundit, and worked as a panellist on the Sky Sports show Soccer Saturday until August 2020. In his retirement, he has made several posts on social media, concerning COVID-19 and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which were met with criticism.[6] David Rhys George Best Cotterill (born 4 December 1987) is a Welsh former footballer who played as a winger.
