England footballer Matt Le Tissier

To look at him you’d think he was a printer cartridge sales rep whose mam still cuts his hair, but Matt Le Tissier was a rare talent (especially in terms of English players) capable of the truly sublime.

Here be his top three goals (as chosen by the man himself) recreated solely using Lego: his balletic beauty against Newcastle, his flicked-free-kick against Wimbledon and Tiss’ very own personal piece de resistance: that slaloming long-range boomer against Blackburn…

Cracking stuff, but – and we don’t say this very often – the Lego versions just don’t hold a candle to the real thing…

Damn, it’s easy to forget just how good he was.

    The problem with English football can be summed up in one stat for me:

    Number of England caps won by Matthew Le Tissier in the 90s- 8

    Number of England caps won by David Batty in the 90s- 42

    @Dave

    Midfielders taken to the Euros in 92 – David Platt, Trevor Steven, Andy Sinton, Carlton Palmer, Neil Webb, Paul Merson, Tony Daley, David Batty.

    Le Tis was 23!

    What were they thinking!!?!?!?

    Brilliant! The Lego re-enactment was pretty good too!

  5. Thomas says:

    Is it just me, or do those goals look wider than normal?

  6. Jarren says:

    Sends shivers up your spine every time you watch Le Tissier.

    It’s a cliché I know, but if he was Brazilian we’d be talking about one of the all-time world greats.

    Dave, that stat about his England callups is truly shocking.

    What WERE England thinking?
