Le Tissier signed for Southampton on the YTS scheme in 1985, moving from Guernsey to follow his dream as soon as he left school.
He stuck with the club throughout his career, playing in the midfield, becoming the club’s second highest goalscorer of all time.
Le Tissier retired in 2002 but still lives in Southampton and is vocal in his support for the club and receives support back from other fans of the club.
@mattletiss7 Matt, congratulations from all at the SDSA on your new job!! You will be fantastic at the job we have no doubts and we wish you every success. #SaintsFC
